The classic, partly fictional travelogue through late-nineteenth-century Europe by the great American satirist and author of Innocents Abroad. Based on true events—embellished with fictional tales and a made-up travel partner—Mark Twain’s A Tramp Abroad chronicles his meandering journey through Germany, the French and Swiss Alps, and Northern Italy. Attempting to make the trip by foot, Twain ventures down the Neckar river by raft, ascends Mont Blanc by telescope, and experiences European life with his usual penetrating wit, infectious curiosity, and timeless humor. Along the way, Twain offers his thoughts on the role of “The Portier” in European hotels, a vivid description of “Heidelberg Castle,” and his unvarnished opinion of “The Awful German Language,” as well as a few tall tales, such as “The Man Who Put Up at Gadsby’s.”

The story of my journey down "the road less travelled" "I don't know how the story will end, but I know how it all began... The Long and WindingRoad https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUO7N-zSMYc The Road Not Taken TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5 Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, 10 And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. 15 I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUaQgRiJukA and https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie2Mspukx14 "Life is God's novel, so let Ultimate Source write it as it unfolds" From www.lifeisgodsnovel.wordpress.com Where did it all begin... From https: //craigswritingjourney.wordpress.com PROLOGUE I am writing these first words on a Jumbo jet bound for far-off New Zealand... and who knows what! I am a 39 year old male, who has been working in Cape Town as the Life Manager of a dynamic insurance brokerage, marking time to join my wife, Marie and twin sons, Gareth and Sean in New Zealand. They have gone there 6 weeks ago on our second immigration to NZ (4th actually in 4 years...so we have had plenty of practice runs). We are going there for a dull stable life of bottling jams, pickling bums, er sorry buns and especially picking noses and endless cups of tea (as my dear mother says, all Kiwis do that - pick their noses, except for "straight" Round Tablers and Rotarians, who don't do it at functions!). So I guess I'll have to learn how to pick my nose to be accepted In "Godzone"*. Please excuse my dear "crazy" wife (must have got the "bug" from your author, but indeed she has a heart of gold. RIP our chaotic crazy existence so far. I think that I have always been a bit different to the "normal run of the mill sort of person"; so let's start at the beginning and maybe we can understand why my life has been waylaid (and I have been laid) by many tributaries off the beaten track. I am now starting this account of my life on an aeroplane heading for the other side of the planet: the idyllic South Pacific islands of New Zealand to rejoin my family there and a new future. What will happen to me and my family there? We shall see... October 1989...high up in the sky * as the picturesque little haven that is New Zealand is affectionately known As my dear mother once said, "I've been riding the rapids of life in all my years"; so now its rather nice to be becalmed here in these calm waters. Yes, here in the haven and at the same time, the harbour of "Sleepy Hollow," we are sheltered from the storms of life. And this is the reason why I have been able to write so prolifically. Something that I like very much and a craft that gives me great satisfaction. * Though I don't know why the story of my "insignificant little life" should be so interesting as to have written a book (or 3) about it. However, my dear wife, Marie said that it may be fascinating and inspirational to others! She also said it might HELP other people having a battle in the "game of life." I really don't know about all that. I think I'm really quite an "ordinary bloke." Anyway, whatever the "boss" says, gets done. So here is my "little" story c (April 95) From An Open Book: My Story "I write because I love it. Words are free, and they soar with wings unbound from my mind to my fingers. And then they travel great miles to reach your eyes.They are for you."

How Being a Nomad Saved My Life is the true story of Debra Dickinson and her journey through navigating a grim Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis where she was told she wouldn't make it to 2016 to thriving and living life on her own terms while being on the road as a full-time nomad. She gives you glimpses into her life - the ups and downs, the hardships and scary moments to the path she has taken to live authentically in every way possible while on the road. As you read her experiences, you'll be inspired to find your own truth and to never give up, no matter what. From the foreword by Linda May of Nomadland: When Debra and I first met, our friend Bob sent her to LaVonne (a fellow nomad) and me, our initial reaction was, "REALLY? We haven't been out here that long and he feels like we can mentor someone?" We were blown away and then began to think, "Wow! Maybe we do know what we are doing. Maybe we do have something to give to another woman out here." When Debra first opened up her van, we never said it, but LaVonne and I gave each other a look - we saw that there was only an air mattress and knew that wouldn't last too long, and that there was a wall of shelves that wasn't too convenient - I thought, "Oh, she does need help and that it's okay. Things will evolve - she's here." Then over time, her van became a thing of beauty, so convenient and everything in place. So right from the beginning, I knew she was determined and that she'd find her way. The community that Debra has built as a nomad is one of the most fascinating things about her. She has to keep to herself and not have a lot of excitement because of her Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and it made me wonder, "How did someone hobbled by those parameters get so many friends, do everything that she does and still be able to help so many people?" And Debra has helped a lot of people. That's just what she does and who she is - even if she just met you 5 minutes ago, she'd be right there to help and do whatever it took. Debra is a helping hand to anyone that needs one. And, Debra is so open that you feel like you know her immediately and see right away that she never gives up, ever. If there's something she wants to do or accomplish and she's not able to do it one way, she figures out a new direction and/or way around so she can accomplish any goal. She never lets her shortcomings be an excuse. Everybody that knows her knows these things. I'm just stating the obvious. Debra's life is an inspiration to people. Some people may think things like "I don't have enough money" or "I'm not good looking enough" - and these are tiny excuses to not reach their goals and dreams. I see Debra work WITH her TBI, even when she has to stop and rest and heal again, but it doesn't stop her from going forward. There was a time she came to visit me, she got stuck and was sick, but she still had things to do. Debra gave herself the time to heal and took care of what was immediately on her plate - step by step. Her strength and determination is amazing to witness. Debra and I care about each other tremendously and I have such deep respect for her going against authorities that think they know better than her - but here she is - and still alive. Had she followed their recommendations that might not be the case. Even though she has a TBI, she still trusts her intuition, and I think that is something that people can learn to do by watching her. Because some of you reading this may think that you are not the expert on yourself, but you are. Who knows you better than you? And to anyone reading who has been diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury or has a family member who has one, Debra shares her experience with you in hopes that you remember you are beautiful and strong just as you are, even when it is difficult. She's proof that you can thrive no matter what. Linda May - From the book and movie Nomadland

Germany, 1940. While struggling to survive at an orphanage, young Didi crosses paths with a rebellious, quirky girl who will either help her escape a life of abuse and uncertainty or lead her down an even darker path. Fast-forward to 1970. With help from a worn leather journal, another young girl learns the story of Didi, who escaped war-torn Germany for a better life in America—except her life didn’t turn out as expected. The stories of these two girls intertwine and eventually collide one Christmas night when Didi, all grown up, finally remembers the secret she buried long ago. Chasing North Star looks back at a time when four free-range siblings, cigarettes in hand, roamed the streets ’til sunrise and hid from a gun-toting, mentally ill mother who couldn’t help herself. Stingray bicycles, transistor radios, and late nights in the cemetery—just another day in Alamo. That is, until the youngest sibling stumbles upon Didi’s story.

This set treats the whole of American literature, from the European discovery of America to the present, with entries in alphabetical order. Each of the 350 substantive essays is a major interpretive contribution. Well-known critics and scholars provide clear and vividly written essays thatreflect the latest scholarship on a given topic, as well as original thinking on the part of the critic. The Encyclopedia is available in print and as an e-reference text from Oxford's Digital Reference Shelf.At the core of the encyclopedia lie 250 essays on poets, playwrights, essayists, and novelists. The most prominent figures (such as Whitman, Melville, Faulkner, Frost, Morrison, and so forth) are treated at considerable length (10,000 words) by top-flight critics. Less well known figures arediscussed in essays ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words. Each essay examines the life of the author in the context of his or her times, looking in detail at key works and describing the arc of the writer's career. These essays include an assessment of the writer's current reputation with abibliography of major works by the writer as well as a list of major critical and biographical works about the writer under discussion.A second key element of the project is the critical assessments of major American masterworks, such as Moby-Dick, Song of Myself, Walden, The Great Gatsby, The Waste Land, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Death of a Salesmanr, or Beloved. Each of these essays offers a close reading of the given work,placing that work in its historical context and offering a range of possibilities with regard to critical approach. These fifty essays (ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words) are simply and clearly enough written that an intelligent high school student should easily understand them, but sophisticatedenough that a college student or general reader in a public library will find the essays both informative and stimulating.The final major element of this encyclopedia consists of fifty-odd essays on literary movements, periods, or themes, pulling together a broad range of information and making interesting connections. These essays treat many of the same authors already discussed, but in a different context; they alsogather into the fold authors who do not have an entire essay on their work (so that Zane Grey, for example, is discussed in an essay on Western literature but does not have an essay to himself). In this way, the project is truly "encyclopedic," in the conventional sense. These essays aim forcomprehensiveness without losing anything of the narrative force that makes them good reading in their own right.In a very real fashion, the literature of the American people reflects their deepest desires, aspirations, fears, and fantasies. The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Literature gathers a wide range of information that illumines the field itself and clarifies many of its particulars.

The first of Chekhov's works to be published in a serious literary journal, `The Steppe', with its masterly account of a spectacular thunderstorm, signifies his maturation as a writer of short stories. While the majority of his tales focus on the privileged classes, this selection shows that Chekhov never forgot his origins as the son of a failed provincial grocer, and characters as varied as the brutal soldier in `Gusev', the downtrodden old constable in `On Official Business', and the bemused peasants in `New Villa' testify to the power and flexibility of his art.

Contact with an alien race, the Gliese, has been made, but communication is impossible. There is trade, but on seemingly inexplicable terms; anti-gravity technology was traded for a bicycle tyre. As we begin to colonize the stars, we're still dependant on the mysterious aliens who we still do not understand. It falls upon the unlikely team of a conceptual artist, Marc, and assassin, Kara, to embark on a mission that will unearth the mystery of the Gliese.
