The "Lloyd" Guide to Australasia, Illustrated (Classic Reprint)
Author: A. G. Plate
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781332885602
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 612
Book Description
Excerpt from The "Lloyd" Guide to Australasia, Illustrated The increasing popularity of the Australian lines of steamers as regards tourist traffic, has created the want of a compact handbook on Australasia, such as would give, in a brief form, information on all topics likely to be of interest to the traveller; and the Norddeutscher Lloyd, in compliance with repeated requests from many of its clients, have endeavoured to meet this want by the present publication. The book is of course chiefly designed for travellers foreign to Australasia, though it is confidently expected that it will also prove useful to residents of the countries of which it treats. In the compilation of the general descriptive matter only the best sources have been consulted, while the statistics are also taken from the latest official publications; and no effort has been spared to make the book in every way thoroughly reliable. Special attention has been devoted to the requirements of the tourist, and all the principal sights and excursions have been described from personal observation. The maps also have been specially compiled for the book, and the latest railway lines etc. Have been added. 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. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Chasing the Last Laugh
Author: Richard Zacks
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0345802535
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
In the 1890s, Mark Twain came back from the dead. The famous author’s career was collapsing, his masterpieces were at risk of falling into oblivion, and he was even mistakenly reported dead. But Twain orchestrated an amazing late-in-life comeback from bankruptcy, bad reviews, and family disaster by setting out on an unprecedented international comedy tour to restore his fortunes. Richard Zacks’s Chasing the Last Laugh captures some of Twain’s cleverest and funniest moments—many newly discovered in unpublished notebooks and letters—as he rode elephants in India, sorted diamonds in South Africa, and talked his way out of hell ninety minutes at a time. This untold chapter in the author’s life began with ridiculously bad choices and ended in hard-won triumph.
