Beschreibung

Anne Hollingsworth Wharton's 'In Château Land' offers readers an exquisite journey through the grandeur and history of French châteaux. Through its vivid prose, the book masterfully weaves narratives of aristocratic life, architectural splendor, and the nuanced interplay of social and historical forces. Wharton's literary style invokes a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the enchantment of the past, placing this work within a broader tradition of travel literature and historical reflection. It is a text that transcends mere description, offering instead a tapestried portrayal of cultural legacy and human endeavor, all set against the backdrop of France's majestic country estates. Wharton emerges as a critical observer, her attention to detail befitting both the casual reader and the discerning historian. Her work in 'In Château Land' is not just a recount of places, but a thoughtful excavation of times past, all the while engaging with the literary context of romanticism and preservation. Anne Hollingsworth Wharton herself was a figure attuned to the nuances of social histories and cultural mores, influenced by her status as an American historian and writer from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her keen interest in the aesthetics of the past and the genealogies of prominent families is evident throughout her works. Wharton's experiences and educative background lent her the unique ability to capture the splendor of châteaux life, framed through an American lens. This perspective gives 'In Château Land' a distinctive place within the canon of historical travelogues. 'In Château Land' is highly recommended for those who cherish the opulence of history rendered through eloquent narrative. Readers interested in the cultural heritage of France, aficionados of architectural history, and lovers of travel literature will find in Wharton's work a treasure to be savored. As DigiCat Publishing deftly brings this classic back to life, this edition stands as a testament to the lasting significance of Wharton's scholarship and storytelling, inviting modern audiences to partake in the timeless allure of château country.

    “This is the best work ever written on hidden treasure, and one of the most fascinating books on any subject to come out of Texas.” —Basic Texas Books   Written in 1930, Coronado’s Children was one of J. Frank Dobie’s first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado.   “These people,” Dobie writes in his introduction, “no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado’s inheritors . . . I have called them Coronado’s children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load . . .”   This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses.  “As entrancing a volume as one is likely to pick up in a month of Sundays.” —The New York Times  “Dobie has discovered for us a native Arabian Night.” —Chicago Evening Post

    An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK
