  There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

  Travels Through France And Italy

  Tobias Smollett

  In Travels Through France and Italy , Tobias Smollett offers a sharp-witted and often acerbic account of his 1765 journey across continental Europe. Written in the form of letters, the narrative captures Smollett’s observations on the customs, manners, politics, and social conditions of France and Italy during the mid-18th century. With little patience for foreign eccentricities or perceived backwardness, Smollett delivers biting commentary on everything from French cuisine and Italian architecture to medical practices and local superstitions. Though often critical and biased, his travelogue provides a vivid and historically rich portrait of Enlightenment-era Europe through the eyes of a skeptical, opinionated Englishman. Combining satire with cultural insight, it remains a classic of early travel literature.

  Travels with the Muse is a journey into the creative life, told through travels to places where art and spirit meet. From the luminous interior of Sagrada Família to the rhythms of the Mississippi Blues Trail, from quilting traditions in Nebraska to the turning dance of the whirling dervishes in Türkiye, Lori Erickson explores what happens when we approach art not as experts, but as beginners willing to pay attention. 
   
  Along the way, she sketches, listens, and learns from artists, musicians, and craftspeople, discovering that creativity has less to do with mastery than with attention. Blending travel writing, memoir, spirituality, and artistic exploration, Travels with the Muse reflects on the ways creative practice can deepen our experience of both place and the sacred.

  What happens when the City of Light turns dark? 
   
  At twenty-two, Deborah Svec-Carstens leaves small-town Iowa for Paris, hoping a year 
  abroad will bring adventure, independence, and a fresh start. But just as she begins to 
  feel at home, a morning run ends in sexual assault. 
   
  Every instinct tells her to leave. Instead, she chooses to stay. 
   
  As the months pass, Deborah leans on an unexpected community of friends, wrestles

  age memoir of trauma, resilience, and the courage of simply staying.
