Book Description
Excerpt from More About Italy and India As I was at that time quite ignorant con cerning Hinduism and its many gods and god desses it made an impression on my mind which has extended to this day. So, as I have still my old Hindi copy of the book, it has occur red to me that a free translation of it might interest some Canadian friends, helping them to realize something of the depth of ignorance and superstition into which Hinduism has sunk so many of India's people. You may think that some of the talks te corded here are crude and childish, but, in spite of the successful missionary work that has been carried on for the past one hundred years or so, I am convinced that among the villages of India there are many thou sands oi people who are still untouched by the Christian message, and still unreached by the comparative few who are workers in that great harvest field.

Book Description
Excerpt from Italy and the Italians The moonbeams play upon his face, he seems not to feel the light at all; a more spiritual, almost um canny face, full of a kind of twilight I don't think I have ever seen. He stands quite still, waiting. But it cannot be found, this plettro, that has given us so much trouble. I ask them will they not come into the house and have some supper.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

Book Description
Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Something, not much, about italy - just those glances at the country, its people, and usages which were casually obtained during a three months' excursion in the spring and summer of 1862, along with such observations as are suggested by the hopeful progress of those portions of the Italian peninsula lately nationalised, as well as by the dismal backwardness of those other parts - Rome and Venetia - still under an antiquated and relentless thraldom. The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence. It has to be added, that the substance of the volume appeared as detached papers in the Journal with which the.

Book Description
Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.

Book Description
Italy is a country synonymous with style and beauty in all aspects of life: the rich history of Rome, Renaissance art of Florence, graceful canals of Venice, high fashion of Milan, signature pasta alla bolognese of Bologna, colorful architecture of Portofino and winking blue waters of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, among many others. Italians themselves live effortlessly amid all this splendor, knowing instinctively just the type of outfit to throw on, design element to balance, or delectable ingredient to add.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Italians of to-Day After one of the rugged Alpine passes, how beautiful is the Lombard plain! Barbarians, in ancient days, felt its irresistible charm. Probably it was very much the same when they saw it that it is now - always cultivated, fertile, green, and a marvel of skilful irrigation! What a delicious freshness in the air from these little artificial streamlets that weave a blue network over the land! They cross the highways; they intersect the fields, they come near each other, they go'efar apart; finally, one by one, they fall into the wide canal, which carries elsewhere the fertilizing water, forever running, yet never wasted. From all this irrigation it results that the land gives four or five crops of hay; the ricefields are crowded with heavy ears; the clover is like a blossoming thicket; the cornfields, like canebrakes. The whole land is of marvellous fertility; and still the population is poor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
