A Journal from Japan: "A Daily Record of Life as Seen by a Scientist"
¥23.79
This daily journal was written primarily because I well knew that time would force the swiftly passing incidents and impressions to blur each other in my memory. Then want of leisure tempted me to send the journal home to friends in place of letters, and the two or three for whom I originally intended it widened the circle by handing it on to many others, until it has, in a way, become public property. Several of those who have read it have asked me to publish it in book form, and although I vowed that I would not add to the al-ready excessive number of books written on Japan, I have decided to publish this just because it was not written with a view to publication. It is this which gives it any claim to attention, and guarantees its veracity. To preserve its character I have stayed my hand where it has often been tempted to change or revise statements which may sometimes seem too hard in the softening light of distance. Days about which there is no entry were filled with work on my fossils at the University. Many evenings were spent with friends at dinners or dances. Reference to these things has been deleted, for neither the solid work nor the social gaiety is likely to interest any one now. Personalities (alas, not always irrelevant!) have been eliminated of necessity, but I have not attempted to give the text any literary form which it did not originally possess. The words are exactly those jotted down at the time and place that they profess to be, and therefore mirror, as no rewritten phrases could, the direct impression that that time and place made on me. Japan is changing swiftly, and I saw things from a point of view that differs somewhat from any recorded, so that perhaps these daily impressions may have an interest for those who cannot visit Japan, and in the future for those who prefer facts to fair sounding generalisations and beautifully elaborated theories. MARIE C. STOPES.Hampstead, July 1909.
Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Second Series
¥8.09
According to the Preface: "...the rare charm of Japanese life, so different from that of all other lands, is not to be found in its Europeanised circles. It is to be found among the great common people, who represent in Japan, as in all countries, the national virtues, and who still cling to their delightful old customs, their picturesque dresses, their Buddhist images, their household shrines, their beautiful and touching worship of ancestors. This is the life of which a foreign observer can never weary, if fortunate and sympathetic enough to enter into it--the life that forces him sometimes to doubt whether the course of our boasted Western progress is really in the direction of moral development." According to Wikipedia: "Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (27 June 1850 – 26 September 1904), also known as Koizumi Yakum after gaining Japanese citizenship, was an author, best known for his books about Japan. He is especially well-known for his collections of Japanese legends and ghost stories, such as Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things... The Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi adapted four Hearn tales into his 1965 film, Kwaidan. Some of his stories have been adapted by Ping Chong into his trademark puppet theatre, including the 1999 Kwaidan and the 2002 OBON: Tales of Moonlight and Rain... Hearn was a major translator of the short stories of Guy de Maupassant. In Ian Fleming's 1964 novel You Only Live Twice, James Bond retorts to his nemesis Blofeld's comment of "Have you ever heard the Japanese expression kirisute gomen?" with "Spare me the Lafcadio Hearn, Blofeld."

According to Wikipedia: "John Ruskin (8 February 1819 – 20 January 1900) is best known for his work as an art critic, stage writer, and social critic, but is remembered as an author, poet and artist as well. Ruskin's essays on art and architecture were extremely influential in the Victorian and Edwardian eras."

Roughing it De Luxe
¥8.09
Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Irvin S. Cobb, ‘Roughing it De Luxe.’ ? “Cobb is a marvelous writer. The section about his travels in the Grand Canyon needs to be read by every person who likes both travel and humor, because it's hysterically funny. Cobb comes across in some ways like an early Bill Bryson. Highly recommended.” Avis Black ? Cobb joined the staff of the magazine Saturday Evening Post during 1911, and covered the Great War for the magazine. At the same time, he wrote a book about his experiences, published during 1915, titled Paths Of Glory. After a second visit to France to cover the Great War, Cobb publicized the achievements of the unit known as theHarlem Hellfighters, most notably, Croix de Guerre recipients Henry Lincoln Johnson and Needham Roberts. His article "Young Black Joe," published on August 24, 1918 in theSaturday Evening Post and later republished in Cobb's book, The Glory of the Coming, highlighted the discipline and courage displayed by black American soldiers fighting in Europe during World War I. The three-page article and half-page photograph reached a national audience of more than two million readers, and was widely reprinted in the black press.

Te jártál Pakisztánban s milyen helyen laktál Volt mit enni Nem veszélyes Tényleg kell oda vízum Hogy tudtál kommunikálni a helyiekkel Bátor vagy, én nem mernék oda menni! Ezer és egy ilyen párbeszédnek voltam fültanúja és elszenvedje az utóbbi évtized utazásai után. De nemcsak Pakisztánnal, hanem a kzeli Koszovóval és Albániával kapcsolatban is hasonló kérdések hangzottak el. Mindebbl az derült ki számomra, hogy mi, magyarok viszonylag keveset utazunk. Vajon mi ennek az oka Nincs rá pénzünk Nincs elég szabadidnk Nem beszélünk nyelveket Vagy egyszeren csak nem merünk magunktól elindulni Meggyzdésem, hogy sok esetben ez utóbbiról van szó. Keveset tudunk a világról, pedig minden információ a rendelkezésünkre áll…” Az tikalauz modern nomádoknak hasznos tanácsokat és tleteket ad mindenkinek, aki kedvet érez ahhoz, hogy nekivágjon az ismeretlennek. Bevezetés kezdknek… akik még nem szerveztek nállóan hosszabb utat. Kéziknyv haladóknak… akik már utaztak ugyan, de nem jártak még ritkán látogatott tájakon. Szórakoztató olvasmány profiknak, akik szívesen olvassák egy hivatásos” világjáró trténeteit, aki épp olyan otthonosan mozog a Balkánon és a Kzel-Keleten, mint Fekete-Afrikában. Belényi Dániel az egyetemi nyári szünetek alatt kezdte a hátizsákozást, majd néhány éven belül hivatása lett a mindenféle helyeken való esés-kelés”. Elszr 2001-ben vonatozott ki Nepálba, majd évekkel késbb, immár tbb rutin birtokában a nehezebb úti célok kezdték érdekelni. Ezt kveten Afganisztánban, Szudánban, Guineában, Líbiában, Pakisztánban és Iránban edzdtt.
