The Naked Mountaineer

Autor: Stephen C. Sieberson

Número de Páginas: 296

The Naked Mountaineer recounts a series of solo journeys to some of the world’s most exotic peaks in places such as Switzerland, Japan, and Borneo. However, it is far from the typical heroic mountain-expedition book. Although Steve Sieberson did reach many summits, in most cases his travels were more memorable for what he encountered along the way than for the actual climbing. His real adventures involved peculiar people, strange foods, and tropical diseases, rather than pitons, ice axes, and carabiners. On the Matterhorn he met an English alpinist who reveled in naked selfies, he stumbled into a cockfight in a Balinese village, and on a volcano in Italy he was mistaken for a famous singer by an insistent fan. The Naked Mountaineer offers mountain-themed travel stories with a wide-eyed view of the world, while presenting irreverent commentary on climbers and their peculiar sport. These are rollicking tales, filled with the unexpected.

Applied Wisdom

Autor: Alexander Ineichen

Número de Páginas: 455

Applying wisdom and avoiding foolishness are two sides of the same coin. Slipping away from either can lead to risky and uncertain situations. Luckily, author Alexander Ineichen has been collecting witticisms for thirty-five years that have made him successful in his career and life. In Applied Wisdom, he collects an anthology of wit and wisdom containing over 700 quotations from sources as wide ranging as Thomas Aquinas and Frank Zappa. He provides entertaining food for thought for businesspeople and the general audience alike, and enables readers to think outside the box to find wisdom. These nuggets, along with his commentary for each, are the valuable words needed for those facing risk and uncertainty. The witticisms provide a full range of being level-headed, truth seeking, brutally heretical, wonderfully insightful, refreshingly politically incorrect, and other intellectual treats and provocations. The advice, blending economics, politics, history, philosophy, psychology, risk management, and much more, provides a winning mix of humor, intellectual heft, and economic survival tips.

The Swiss Emigration to the Red River Settlement in 1821 and its Subsequent Exodus to the United States

Autor: Antoine De Courten

Número de Páginas: 199

Everything went wrong. Having crossed the Atlantic for about 3 months and getting stuck in the ice of Hudson's Strait for another three weeks, the band of Swiss emigrants had to row with great hardship up the Hayes River over some 6o portages, and cross Lake Winnipeg in its full length. Arriving starved, exhausted, and deprived of their belongings at the Red River Settlement just before the snows, they were told that nothing had been prepared for them. Lodging and food was there none due to a plague of grasshoppers and floods that had destroyed the harvests of the previous four years. The so-called Promised Land was bare of any prospect. Thoroughly embittered and disgusted, one family after the other headed south between 1821 and 1826, some alone, others in groups, hoping to reach present day Minnesota as their first refuge. But to get there they had to cross over some 350 miles of prairie, a veritable desert of uncharted trails and water holes, peopled by roving Sioux looking out for victims to scalp. How did they survive? That's what the reader will find out by reading this dramatic document, which is illustrated by Peter Rindisbacher, the young artist who participated in this...

A month in Switzerland

Autor: F. Barham Zincke

Número de Páginas: 135

In "A Month in Switzerland," F. Barham Zincke artfully chronicles his journey through the picturesque landscapes and rich cultural tapestry of Switzerland. His prose is evocative and intricate, capturing the sublime beauty of the Alps, the tranquil charm of its lakes, and the vibrant urban life of cities like Zurich and Geneva. This travel account is steeped in the Romantic literary tradition, employing rich descriptive language and reflective passages that convey not only the sights but also the emotional experiences of his journey, thus offering readers a window into the soul of a land that reflects peace as much as adventure. F. Barham Zincke, an English writer and explorer of the 19th century, was inspired by the burgeoning interest in Swiss landscapes and culture during his time. His experiences traversing the Swiss terrain, combined with his keen observations of its society, allowed him to craft a narrative that resonates with both the traveler and the armchair reader. Zincke's deep appreciation for nature and culture is a testament to the Romantic era's emphasis on individual experience and emotional depth, making this work not merely a travelogue but a reflection on...

Slow Train to Switzerland

Autor: Diccon Bewes

Número de Páginas: 243

In June 1863 an English lady set off by train on the trip of a lifetime: Thomas Cook's first Conducted Tour of Switzerland. A century and a half later, travel writer Diccon Bewes, author of the bestselling Swiss Watching, decided to go where she went and see what she saw. Guided by her diary, he followed the same route to discover how much had changed and how much hadn't. She went in search of adventure, he went in search of her, and found far more than he expected. Slow Train to Switzerland is the captivating account of two trips through the Alps: hers glimpsing the future of travel, his revisiting its past. Together they make a journey to remember. This is a tale of trains and tourists, of the British and the Swiss, of a Victorian traveller and a modern-day Englishman abroad. It is the story of a tour that changed both Switzerland and the world of travel forever.

Brother Solomon

Autor: William John Battersby

Número de Páginas: 276

This book, which was first published in 1960, tells of Brother Solomon Leclercq, Secretary of the Institute during the French Revolution. Brother Solomon is one of the martyrs of the French revolution and the Secretary-General of the Institute at that time. His story is compelling. Once the monarchy had been overthrown early in the French Revolution, the next target was the Church. In 1790 the Civil Constitution of the Clergy gave the state complete control over the Church in France. In order to continue to function, priests and religious were forced to take an oath to support the constitution. Most of the Brothers refused and so were forced gradually to abandon their schools and communities. Eventually the Institute was deprived altogether of legal status in France. Brother Solomon was secretary to Brother Agathon, the Superior General, after having been a teacher, director and bursar. He always showed a great love for people and a great attachment to his work. Having refused to take an oath, he lived alone in Paris in secrecy. We still have many of his letters to his family. The last one is dated August 15, 1792. That very day he was arrested and imprisoned in the Carmelite...
