سفرهایی به این سوی و آن سوی جهان که نمی دانم هدف واقعی اش چه بوده و چیست.اما این را می دانم که با سفر، مفهوم لذت از جهان هستی را بیشتر دریافته ام و احساس خوشبختی بیشتری کرده ام. این احساس خوشبختی به واسطه ی بخش خوشگذرانه ی سفر نیست که در حضر هم می توان خوش گذراند، اما احساس خوشبختی نکرد.این احساس تنها با تجربه ی سبک زندگی مردم جهان است که پدید می آید.***"Mark de Polo" is a newer compilation of my trips in the last two tears; trips to different corners of the globe, trips that I am not aware of their true objectives, then and now.But I'm aware that with travelling I have become known to the concept of enjoying the universe and I have felt happier. This feeling of happiness is not a result of joy of travelling, for one can feel joy at home, but not happy. This feeling is created only by experiencing the lifestyles of people of the world.

    It is a cultural hub, a meeting place for people from all walks of life and, through the stories told there, brings people together in numerous ways. Indeed, theatres have been doing so for over two millennia. The theatre comes in many forms. From the more rigid and repeated (but no less attractive) designs of Greek and Roman theatres, the buildings that now house our shared cultural output boast some of the finest, most creative structures in the world.

    Like those earlier books, the frequently hilarious A Tramp Abroad (1880)-based on his family's 16-month sojourn in Europe from April 1878 to August 1879-blends autobiography and fiction, facts and tall tales. Twain's send-up of Old World customs as well as his critical dissections of Wagnerian opera and the German language are often interlaced with American reminiscences, whether in the form of an extended discourse on the language of blue jays or the recollection of an elaborate practical joke in Hannibal, Missouri, involving a printer's devil and a skeleton. A Tramp Abroad is presented here with the author's original sketches. Written at a time of financial trouble and personal loss (the death of the author's beloved daughter Susy), Following the Equator (1897) is a darker and more politicized account of a lecture tour around the world, with Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Ceylon, India, Mauritius, and South Africa among the stop­overs. Using humorous but often biting anecdotes as well as keen journalist reporting, the book details bush life in Australia and the culture of the Maoris in New Zealand, while lashing out at social inequities such as the Indian caste system, and racist imperialism connected with European settlement and gold mining in southern Africa. Twain rounds out the volume with extensive historical accounts ranging from the Black Hole of Calcutta to the events in South Africa that would lead shortly to the Boer War. This volume also includes 13 shorter pieces, most of them uncollected by the author, including a lengthy firsthand narrative of the shah of Persia's 1873 visit to London, an 1891 description of Richard Wagner's operas performed at Bayreuth, an 1897 account of Queen Victoria's jubilee in London, and an 1898 analysis of vitriolic Austrian parliamentary proceedings. The texts of several of these "other travels" are presented in newly corrected and fully restored versions.

    Most of the world's exquisite and rare bird species are found in tropical rainforests—the Amazon, Sumatra, Borneo, Daintree Rainforest in Australia, and the Congo basin in Africa.

    No wonder they're celebrating their fiftieth anniversary as the "Bible of North Country Travel." This is not a fluff and nonsense production, because there's serious driving to cover when you're heading to Anchorage or Denali Park, and you need to know things, like what the major highways and roads contain, mile-by-mile, where there are gas stations, campgrounds, fishing, lodging, and food, what the geography is like and what road conditions to expect. There's even some information on the history of the lands and communities, and what attractions are nearby. The maps are exceptional and the abundance of information remarkable, making this the most irreplaceable of guides for a trip up north. --Stephanie Gold

    This book is a travel story describing, through a large number of photos and detailed maps, a hiking tour in one of the culturally richest and yet one of the most misunderstood islands of Greece. Last possession of Venice in the Aegean and thus last bastion of the Western World in the Eastern Mediterranean, Tinos boasts a wealth of cultural treasures, set in an exceptional landscape. The fact that the church of the Virgin Mary in its port became the main pilgrimage of Greece resulted in the treasures of the hinterland remaining unknown to the wide public. This book endeavours to cover this omission and give a glimpse of this cultural richness to the visitor who desires to discover it. Among other things, it presents medieval settlements, monumental churches, picturesque chapels, artistic dovecotes and the island's marble craftsmanship, inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

    Focusing on the Angkor temples is the lightest, and the smallest in size, of the Angkor guide books offering more than a brief introduction to the site. No matter what the length of your stay will be, 2 to 3 days or even a week, one thing is certain, you want to make the most of your coming trip to Angkor. Born from a passion which motivated the author to visit and study the site about 50 times over the last two decades, this guide book has been specifically designed to help you achieve this goal. The temples are abundantly illustrated and documented: 880 pictures (by far a record) will show you, before you even start your reading, all the interesting sights you should not miss. And, thanks to a number of detailed floor plans indicating their exact location within the temples, you will be able to easily spot all these sights. An exclusive feature, a great time-saving tool and the guarantee that you will not pass by Angkor's hidden treasures without noticing them. Written in a clear, concise style, to make its content accessible to non-specialists, this revised edition incorporates the latest research on the subject and up-to-date information about the temples. An essential feature as the site keeps changing (several recent restorations, modified access points and circuits) and, consequently, one does not visit Angkor today the way it was done only some years ago. Our itineraries and useful tips, notably to avoid rush hours in the most frequented temples, will ensure that your visits take place in the best possible conditions. Fitting nicely in your backpack, this guide book will prove to be an invaluable travel companion..

    These strongholds may now largely be ruined, but in their dilapidation they have gained an air of mystery and beauty. The people they once protected are gone, the borders they guarded have dissolved, the fragile communities and wooden buildings that built up around them have been dismantled. Only the castles, centuries on, remain – proof of how robustly they were constructed in the first place. From the tip of southern Ireland to northern Scotland, from castles maintained over the centuries to ones that are now mere ruins, Celtic Castles celebrates the stories behind more than 100 strongholds. In these we find tales of religious dissent, of English Parliamentarians attacking Irish Catholic refuges, of warring Scottish clans, of the English and Scots fighting over Scottish independence. And in the buildings we find such curiosities as Britain’s only triangular castle or the hiding place for the Scottish crown jewels. With 150 outstanding colour photographs, Celtic Castles is a brilliant pictorial examination of worlds gone by.

    Kaplan, geopolitical expert and bestselling author of Balkan Ghosts and The Revenge of Geography, turns his perceptive eye to a region that for centuries has been a meeting point of cultures, trade, and ideas. He undertakes a journey around the Adriatic Sea, through Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece, to reveal that far more is happening in the region than most news stories let on. Often overlooked, the Adriatic is in fact at the center of the most significant challenges of our time, including the rise of populist politics, the refugee crisis, and battles over the control of energy resources. And it is once again becoming a global trading hub that will determine Europe's relationship with the rest of the world as China and Russia compete for dominance in its ports.Kaplan explores how the region has changed over his three decades of observing it as a journalist. He finds that to understand both the historical and contemporary Adriatic is to gain a window on the future of Europe as a whole, and he unearths a stark truth: The era of populism is an epiphenomenon--a symptom of the age of nationalism coming to an end. Instead, the continent is returning to alignments of the early modern era as distinctions between East and West meet and break down within the Adriatic countries and ultimately throughout Europe.With a brilliant cross-pollination of history, literature, art, architecture, and current events, in Adriatic, Kaplan demonstrates that this unique region that exists at the intersection of civilizations holds revelatory truths for the future of global affairs.
