Book Description
Excerpt from After-Thoughts of Foreign Travel: In Historic Lands and Capital Cities These After-Thoughts of two and a half years abroad, are not offered as exhaustive essays, but rather suggestive compends of subjects considered. They were first presented at some intervals in lectures, which will account for their variety of style and method. Their aim is to direct special attention to those countries and events, whence has come our civilization. Accordingly, I have gleaned from the places visited and studied, such facts and suggestions, as would naturally induce others to investigate and gather up from foreign lands and men that instruction and knowledge, which tend to hallow the past, enrich the present, and ennoble the future. We cannot realize too fully, that in the progress of civilization, the good, however antiquated, is sure to survive; that each epoch has not failed to crown its successor; that the Orient has been constantly bestowing upon the Occident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Sun After Dark
Author: Pico Iyer
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 030742801X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
One of the best travel writers now at work in the English language brings back the sights and sounds from a dozen different frontiers. A cryptic encounter in the perfumed darkness of Bali; a tour of a Bolivian prison, conducted by an enterprising inmate; a nightmarish taxi ride across southern Yemen, where the men with guns may be customs inspectors or revolutionaries–these are just three of the stops on Pico Iyer’s latest itinerary. But the true subject of Sun After Dark is the dislocations of the mind in transit. And so Iyer takes us along to meditate with Leonard Cohen and talk geopolitics with the Dalai Lama. He navigates the Magritte-like landscape of jet lag, “a place that no human had ever been until forty or so years ago.” And on every page of this poetic and provocative book, he compels us to redraw our map of the world.
