 Название: If: The Untold Story of Kipling's American Years

Формат: EPUB
Страниц: 256

Язык: English
A unique exploration of the life and work of Rudyard Kipling in Gilded Age America, from a celebrated scholar of American literature
At the turn of the 20th century, Rudyard Kipling towered over not just English literature, but the entire literary world. At the height of his fame in 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming its youngest winner. His influence on figures - including the likes of Freud and William James - was vast and profound. But in recent decades Kipling’s reputation has suffered a strange eclipse. Though his body of work still looms large, and his monumental poem “If” is quoted and referenced by politicians, athletes, and professors, he himself is treated with profound unease as a man on the wrong side of history. In If, scholar Christopher Benfey brings this fascinating writer to life, and for the first time, gives full attention to his intense engagement with the United States - a rarely discussed but critical piece of evidence in our understanding of this man and his enduring legacy. | |

The span of years covered by the set is explained in the introduction of the first section: "The beginning is marked by the freeing of Europe from glacial ice...and the end is determined by the spread of Christianity across northern and eastern Europe and the establishment of many European states that persist into the present." Many of the contributors are archaeologists, and the set is focused accordingly. | |

 Название: Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem: A Memoir
Автор: Daniel R. Day
Издательство: Random House
Год: 2019
Формат: EPUB
Страниц: 304
Размер: 28,5 Mb
Язык: English
“Dapper Dan is a legend, an icon, a beacon of inspiration to many in the Black community. His story isn’t just about fashion. It’s about tenacity, curiosity, artistry, hustle, love, and a singular determination to live our dreams out loud.” (Ava DuVernay, director of Selma, 13th, and A Wrinkle in Time)
With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time. | |

 Название: The Vagabonds: The Story of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's Ten-Year Road Trip
Автор: Jeff Guinn
Издательство: Simon & Schuster
Год: 2019
Формат: EPUB
Страниц: 320
Размер: 56,5 Mb
Язык: English
The fascinating story of two American giants - Henry Ford and Thomas Edison - whose annual summer sojourns introduced the road trip to our culture and made the automobile an essential part of modern life, even as their own relationship altered dramatically.
In 1914, Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs visited Thomas Edison in Florida and toured the Everglades. The following year Ford, Edison, and tire-maker Harvey Firestone joined together on a summer camping trip and decided to call themselves the Vagabonds. They would continue their summer road trips until 1925, when they announced that their fame made it too difficult for them to carry on.
Although the Vagabonds traveled with an entourage of chefs, butlers, and others, this elite fraternity also had a serious purpose: to examine the conditions of America’s roadways and improve the practicality of automobile travel. Cars were unreliable, and the roads were even worse. But newspaper coverage of these trips was extensive, and as cars and roads improved, the summer trip by automobile soon became a desired element of American life. | |

 Название: Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys: 50th Anniversary Edition
Автор: Michael Collins, Charles A. Lindbergh
Издательство: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Год: 2019
Формат: EPUB
Страниц: 528
Размер: 42,2 Mb
Язык: English
Reissued with a new preface by the author on the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 journey to the moon
The years that have passed since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins piloted the Apollo 11 spacecraft to the moon in July 1969 have done nothing to alter the fundamental wonder of the event: man reaching the moon remains one of the great events?technical and spiritual?of our lifetime.
In Carrying the Fire, Collins conveys, in a very personal way, the drama, beauty, and humor of that adventure. He also traces his development from his first flight experiences in the air force, through his days as a test pilot, to his Apollo 11 voyage, presenting an evocative picture of the joys of flight as well as a new perspective on time, light, and movement from someone who has seen the fragile earth from the other side of the moon. | |

 Название: Путешествия. Дневники. Воспоминания
Автор: Христофор Колумб
Издательство: Эксмо
Год: 2014
Формат: FB2
Размер: 33 MB
Язык: русский
Христофор Колумб (1451—1506) открыл не только Америку – он раздвинул границы возможного и дозволенного. Всю жизнь он стремился к богатству и славе, но главной его страстью была ненасытная жажда приключений. Он был уверен, что Земля круглая, и поэтому в Индию можно доплыть не только восточным, но и западным путем. Чтобы добиться своего, он сумел зажечь своей верой короля и королеву Испании, вытребовав у них в качестве аванса за будущие открытия дворянский герб и титул Адмирала Моря-Океана и вице-короля новых земель. | |

Размер: 29 MB
Язык: русский
Сколько их таких было – мальчишек, прочитавших «Робинзона Крузо» и «заболевших» мечтами о далеких путешествиях и великих открытиях… Но затем жизнь брала свое и мечты растворялись в жизненных буднях. Григорий Николаевич Потанин (1835—1920) – одно из очень немногих и вполне счастливых исключений из этого правила. Как гласит семейная легенда, когда ему было восемь лет, он буквально проглотил бессмертный труд Даниеля Дефо – и с того момента и до самого конца своей долгой жизни посвятил себя путешествиям. | |
