Sinopse

Final Lighthouse Calls explores the gripping, true accounts of lighthouse keepers facing unimaginable disasters, relying on their radios as their only connection to the outside world. The book examines maritime history through the lens of these isolated figures, highlighting their human resilience and the psychological impact of their remote existence. Learn how these keepers, vital to maritime navigation and shipping routes, battled not only the elements but also profound loneliness.

 
The book progresses from the history of lighthouses and the evolution of maritime technology to detailed accounts of specific disasters, using radio transcripts and historical records to reconstruct events. It delves into the psychological toll on the keepers, analyzing their final communications to reveal their courage and despair. One notable insight is how these keepers, despite their isolation, played a crucial role in guiding ships through treacherous waters, a testament to their dedication.

    Afloat on the Ohio, An Historical Pilgrimage, of a Thousand Miles in a Skiff, From Redstone to Cairo.There were four of us pilgrims—my Wife, our Boy of ten and a half years, the Doctor, and I. My object in going—the others went for the outing—was to gather "local color" for work in Western history. The Ohio River was an important factor in the development of the West. I wished to know the great waterway intimately in its various phases,—to see with my own eyes what the borderers saw; in imagination, to redress the pioneer stage, and repeople it.

    A Small Place in Italy

    This book is a lush and beautiful memoir of a very special house and a superb recreation of a bygone era. 
    In 1967, veteran travel writer Eric Newby and his heroic wife Wanda fulfiled their dream of a return to life in the Italian hills where they first met during World War II. But this fulfilment would not come easy. The dream materialised in the form of I Castagni ('The Chestnuts'), a small, decrepit farmhouse with no roof, an abandoned septic tank and its own indigenous wildlife reluctant to give up their home. But in the foothills of the Apuan Alps on the border of Liguria and Northern Tuscany, this ramshackle house would soon become a hub of love, friendship and activity. 
    Whether recounting dangerous expeditions through Afghanistan or everyday life in a country house, Newby's talent shines through as one of the foremost writers of the comic travel genre. Full of Newby's sharp wit and good humour, ‘A Small Place’ in Italy returns, twenty years later, to the life of Newby's much-cherished classic, Love and War in the Apennines. It lovingly recounts the quickly disappearing lifestyle of the idiosyncratic locals, and the enduring friendships they forge, whether sharing in growing their first wine harvest as novices or frying poisonous mushrooms for a feast. 
    The essays in A Small Place in Italy showcase Newby's best work, making it one of the top travelogues of its time. Readers will feel as if they are walking through the Italian hills alongside Newby and his wife. 
    For fans of Rory Stewart (The Marches), Patrick Leigh Fermor (The Broken Road), David Grann (The Lost City of Z), Bruce Chatwin (What Am I Doing Here?), and Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration).
