So we get not only excellent descriptions of the scenery

This is a singularly moving travellerâs tale. The world grows ever smaller and more and more of us have the opportunity to explore it. For most of us, however, our journeys are a break from lifeâs routines. We may be tourists, travel writers, young people enjoying a gap year, retireds spending our savings on that dreamed of world tour, or indeed have a job which demands that we are ever encountering new people and places.

Anna Lazarus is none of these. For her, travel is her life, her raison dâtre, at least for the period recounted in this book. So we get not only excellent descriptions of the scenery, the history, the people, resident and transient, the food, the music, dance and climate of India, South East Asia, England and the USA as well as South and Central America; there is also regular, intriguing, and sometimes agonised reflection on her compulsion to keep on the move.

The title itself tells us a lot. It tells us first that Anna has that âgiftieâ dreamed of by Robert Burns in his poem âTo a Louseâ. âOh wad some powâr the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see usââ Anna is not a blonde; her hair is mousey. In India, however, her first port of call, because her hair is not of the all but universal Indian black, she is referred to as a blonde. âBlondieâ, however, is not her only identity in India. She is employed as a singer in restaurants. And music making, with voice, and later guitar, is a recurring theme in her journey. But travel is the thing, and singing is but one of many means of earning herself both food, shelter and the next air fare or bus ticket.

The ending is quite cathartic. The search for the greener grass over the hill, or, in Annaâs words, the Promised Land, ends, inevitably, in frustration. Likewise her dream man, her American âWhite Knightâ, who falls so desperately in love with her, proves a disappointment. He is possessed by his family, and wants, in turn, to possess Anna.

Anna will be nobodyâs property. Her conclusion, on return to her native Russia, is one of satisfaction. Whatever the trials; the poverty and physical discomfort of her odyssey, she has lived a life, indeed several lives, of which most others merely dream. And if freedom means being solitary, so be it.

Title: Cannes & Cap d'Antibes: Travel Adventures

Author: Ferne Arfin

Narrator: Don Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-28-15

Publisher: Hunter Publishing, Inc.

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Cannes is probably the most urban of all the Riviera resorts. When not lounging on terraces overlooking the water (the quintessential Cannes accommodation is a rented apartment with a sea or pool view), experienced visitors spend a lot of time "en promenade." Before lunch on La Croisette is the traditional time and place to stroll, window shop, see, and be seen. For aficionados of "old towns," the area known as Le Suquet around Cannes' oldest harbor is where what little remains of the city's pre-nineteenth-century history can be found. A medieval castle atop the old city, the views over La Croisette, the Bay of Cannes, and the Iles de Lérins make it clear why the first defensive structures of ancient Canoïs were built there. The castle now standing was built at the end of the eleventh century. The keep, the Romanesque Chapel of Sainte Anne, and the cisterns date from the original structure. I discovered that I loved Antibes on my first trip to the South of France. Maybe that is why it has remained my favorite town on the Riviera ever since.

In the ruelles of the Vielle Ville, every house seemed bursting with flowers. Geraniums, oleanders, bougainvilla, grapevines, palms and yucca plants framed windows, tumbled out of pots, and covered golden stone walls. Rounding a bend we would be surprised by a sudden view of one of the ports, of the ramparts and fort. Or a market table loaded with oranges and lemons, their fragrances saturating the air. Or a shady square. Or the tiny shop where I bought needles in paper packets, embroidery silk, brightly printed Provençal fabrics, and armloads of fresh flowers. Some afternoons we chilled, drinking menthe et l'eau or Ricard along the front at Juan les Pins, watching women in high heels and gold bikinis shop the designer stores while my friend hummed "Music to Watch Girls By". At night we watched fireworks set to music over the harbor, listened to fabulous jazz in Juan les Pins, or tried our luck at the casino. American millionaires discovered Antibes-Juan les Pins at the beginning of the twentieth century. They built enormous mansions on the Cap d'Antibes or took over ones built half a century earlier, like Eilenroc, designed by Charles Garnier in the the 1860s. By the 1920s and '30s, the era the French call l'age du pyjama, they had turned it into a winter resort on their social schedule of Europe. Everything you need to know is in this remarkable guide: the history, what to see and do, the culture, the activities, the restaurants, and all the hotels. The author lives near the areas she writes about and visits them often.

Title: William Wells Brown

Subtitle: An African-American Life

Author: Ezra Greenspan

Narrator: Mirron Willis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-22-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Publisher's Summary:

Born into slavery in Kentucky, raised on the Western frontier on the farm adjacent to Daniel Boones, rented out in adolescence to a succession of steamboat captains on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the young man known as Sandy reinvented himself as William Wells Brown after escaping to freedom. He lifted himself out of illiteracy and soon became an innovative, widely admired, and hugely popular speaker on antislavery circuits (both American and British) and went on to write the earliest African American works in a plethora of genres: travelogue, novel (the now canonized Clotel), printed play, and history. He also practiced medicine, ran for office, and campaigned for black uplift, temperance, and civil rights.

Ezra Greenspans masterful work, elegantly written and rigorously researched, sets Browns life in the richly rendered context of his times, creating a fascinating portrait of an inventive writer who dared to challenge the racial orthodoxies and explore the racial complexities of nineteenth-century America.

Members Reviews:

A Masterful, Thorough, and Interesting Biography

Dr. Greenspan is the foremost William Wells Brown scholar. This book is fastidiously and meticulously researched, offering the most comprehensive biography of Brown currently available. Greenspan impressively marshals his research and sources, filling in gaps in Brown's history intuitively when faced with a scarcity of concrete evidence. Whether you're an historian, literary scholar, student, or just interested in learning more about one of the most interesting individuals of the nineteenth century in America, this book is worth reading, especially since it also offers a broader history of nineteenth-century America and the American abolitionist movement, as well as a collective history of the leading African American intellectuals and writers who were Brown's contemporaries.

First class biography

Extremely well written in a very engrossing manner - obviously the author formed a high opinion of his subject and it really shows through. Excellent job at explaining to the reader the historical context in which Brown lived his life.Definitely not a dry history book.

Excellent, Ezra Greenspan's research and work is demonstrated by the factual and historical significance of this work. The syntax and rhythm of his writing awesome this an easy but entertaining read.

Book received in excellent condition. Greenspan does an excellent job in writing ...

Book received in excellent condition. Greenspan does an excellent job in writing the biography of a little known abolitionist. William Wells Brown was even more active than Fredrick Douglas. With this tome that fact will be made plain.

Rescued from Oblivion

So glad to see this extraordinary multi-talented man given the attention he has long deserved. A thorough recovery of the life and career of a fascinating and influential figure in American history.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Der Kaiserstuhl ist ein rund 20 Millionen Jahre alter, heute inaktiver Vulkan zwischen Schwarzwald und Vogesen, rund 15 Kilometer im Durchmesser. Eine der wärmsten und fruchtbarsten Ecken Deutschlands. Dort könnten bald klimatische Verhältnisse herrschen wie in Mittelitalien. Chianti-Reben statt Gutedel, vielleicht sieht so die Zukunft des Weinbaus hier aus. Eine fast paradiesische Landschaft, die gelegentlich Schlagzeilen machte: durch die rabiate Rebflurbereinigung der 70er Jahre oder den Protest vieler Kaiserstühler gegen das einst geplante Kernkraftwerk Wyhl. Und Breisach mit seinem Münster hoch überm Rhein wurde zum Symbol deutsch-französischer Freundschaft.

O-Töne: Karl Ruh, Gärtnermeister, Endingen am Kaiserstuhl; Hans-Peter Trautwein, Ökowinzer, Bahlingen/Kaiserstuhl; Theo Liebenstein, Revierförster, Kaiserstuhl; Ralf Stritt, Burkheimer Fischerzunft; Sibylle Breisacher, Ihringen, Kaiserstuhl; Musik: "Mueders Stübele", Komp. + Interpret: Walter Mossmann, Liedermacher, Kaiserstuhl.
