Реклама Лабиринт.ru A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush A classic of travel writing, A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush is Eric Newby s iconic account of his journey through one of the most remote and beautiful wildernesses on earth.
It was 1956, and Eric Newby was earning an improbable living in the chaotic family business of London haute couture. Pining for adventure, Newby sent his friend Hugh Carless the now-famous cable CAN YOU TRAVEL NURISTAN JUNE? setting in motion a legendary journey from Mayfair to Afghanistan, and the mountains of the Hindu Kush, north-east of Kabul.
Inexperienced and ill prepared (their preparations involved nothing more than some tips from a Welsh waitress), the amateurish rogues embark on a month of adventure and hardship in one of the most beautiful wildernesses on earth a journey that adventurers with more experience and sense may never have undertaken. With good humour, sharp wit and keen observation, the charming narrative style of A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush would soon crystallise Newby's reputation as one of the greatest travel writers of all time.
One of the greatest travel classics from one of Britain's best-loved travel writers, this edition includes new photographs, an epilogue from Newby's travelling companion, Hugh Carless, and a prologue from one of Newby's greatest proponents, Evelyn Waugh.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru 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.

It's now a golden age for these tales - they crop up in novels, films and popular culture. But what's the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what's to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled?
Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes - stunning and spoiled - on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the 'most beautiful beach in Greece', consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.

Elizabeth Bowen's account of a time spent in Rome is no ordinary guidebook but an evocation of a city - its history, its architecture and, above all, its atmosphere. She describes the famous classical sites, conjuring from the ruins visions of former inhabitants and their often bloody activities and speculates about the immense noise of ancient Rome, the problems caused by the Romans' dining posture, and the Roman temperament. She evokes the city's moods - by day, when it is characterised by golden sunlight, and at night, when the blaze of the moon 'annihilates history'.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru A Voyage for Madmen Already a classic among sailors, Nichols tell the true story of the inaugural 1968 Golden Globe sailing race: the first single-handed non-stop circumnavigation of the world.
It lay like a gauntlet thrown down; to sail around the world alone and non-stop. No one had ever done it, no one knew if it could be done. In 1968, nine men - six Englishmen, two Frenchmen and an Italian - set out to try, a race born of coincidence of their timing. One didn't even know how to sail. They had more in common with Captain Cook or Ferdinand Magellan than with the high-tech, extreme sailors of today, a mere forty years later.
It was not the sea or the weather that determined the nature of their voyages but the men they were, and they were as different from one another as Scott from Amundsen. Only one of the nine crossed the finishing line after ten months at sea. The rest encountered despair, sublimity, madness and even death.

Facing savage weather, merciless insects, unreliable maps and a fickle companion whose profoundest wish was to go to a motel and watch The X-Files, Bryson gamely struggled through the wilderness to achieve a lifetime's ambition - not to die outdoors.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru About Britain. A Journey of Seventy Years and 1, 345 Miles In 1951, the Festival of Britain commissioned a series of short guides they dubbed 'handbooks for the explorer'. Their aim was to encourage readers to venture out beyond the capital and on to 'the roads and the by-roads' to see Britain as a 'living country'. Yet these thirteen guides did more than celebrate the rural splendour of this 'island nation': they also made much of Britain's industrial power and mid-century ambition - her thirst for new technologies, pride in manufacturing and passion for exciting new ways to travel by road, air and sea.
Armed with these About Britain guides, historian Tim Cole takes to the roads to find out what has changed and what has remained the same over the 70 years since they were first published. From Oban to Torquay, Caernarvon to Cambridge, he explores the visible changes to our landscape, and the more subtle social and cultural shifts that lie beneath.
In a starkly different era where travel has been transformed by the pandemic and many are journeying closer to home, About Britain is a warm and timely meditation on our changing relationship with the landscape, industry and transport. As he looks out on vineyards and apple orchards, power stations and slate mines, vast greenhouses and fulfilment centres for online goods, Cole provides an enchanting glimpse of twentieth and early twenty-first century Britain as seen from the driver's seat.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Alexandria. Architectural Guide Founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, Alexandria was once the largest city in the ancient world. It has had an eventful past: it was home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was occupied by various foreign powers, and has long been a key port.

Structured around five main routes, the publication serves as a user-friendly guide for exploring the city's wealth of buildings.

Tell about St. Petersburg like they think they should, like the city's story is being told for visitors or schoolchildren on an obligatory tour. And at the same time, just like every every city, St. Petersburg has as many different sides as there are passers-by on Nevsky Prospect in the weekend.
And in order to get to know a house it is not enough to admire it from the outside - you have to step inside.
With the help of this guidebook you will find out about the places that are significant or cult for the Peterburgians.
Why are they special?
Who knows...
Perhaps that's where the city's spirit is. Год: 2013 Производитель: Питер Артикул: 401894 ISBN: 978-5-496-00410-7 Автор: Жданова Марина Алексеевна

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Among the Mountains. Travels Through Asia Wilfred Thesiger, this century s greatest living explorer, recalls his travels among the mountain ranges of Asia.
Although Wilfred Thesiger is still largely associated with the Arabian deserts and the Marshes of Iraq, he has also travelled extensively at intervals, over the years, among mountains and mountain people in other remote areas of the Middle East and Asia.
In 1987 Thesiger wrote: I have always been attracted by mountains And he observed more recently: Had I done nothing else as a traveller except my journeys in Nuristan, these alone would have amounted to something worthwhile .
Eventful, interesting and remarkable achievements in their own right, the Asian journeys among the Hindu Kush, the Karakorams and the Pamirs have inspired many of the finest photographs Thesiger has ever taken and contribute significantly to his standing as a great traveller and explorer.
Spanning a period of over 30 years (1951-1983) this book draws on Thesiger s original diaries of his various journeys and his vivid memories of them, and includes some 80 or so previously unpublished photographs of the stunning mountain scenery he saw and the people he encountered.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru An Area of Darkness. His Discovery of India The first book in V. S. Naipaul's acclaimed Indian trilogy - with a preface by the author.
An Area of Darkness is V. S. Naipaul's semi-autobiographical account - at once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered - of his first visit to India, the land of his forebears. He was twenty-nine years old; he stayed for a year. From the moment of his inauspicious arrival in Prohibition-dry Bombay, bearing whisky and cheap brandy, he experienced a cultural estrangement from the subcontinent. It became for him a land of myths, an area of darkness closing up behind him as he travelled . . .
The experience was not a pleasant one, but the pain the author suffered was creative rather than numbing, and engendered a masterful work of literature that provides a revelation both of India and of himself: a displaced person who paradoxically possesses a stronger sense of place than almost anyone.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Architectural Guide. Norway. Buildings and Projects from 2000 to 2020 The Architectural Guide Norway showcases 150 architectural objects realized in Norway in the period from 2000 to 2020. The geography of the buildings covers both the largest and most visited cities of the country Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and objects of the so-called Norwegian Scenic Routes, one of the most important infrastructure project to promote the breathtaking nature and its architecture.
Anna Martovitskaya s selection of projects demonstrates a wide range of artistic techniques, typologies and scales, but these are not only united by the country of origin, but also by their diversity. A much more important factor of unity is the approach of Norwegian architects to the challenges they face. No matter whether it is an everyday task (e.g. a pedestrian bridge, a viewing platform or a pavilion), a large office complex or a large urban development project, the focus is always on people and their relationship to nature.
While today many voices loudly promote the need to conserve resources, Norway consistently implements the principle of environmental protection, not only through the use of innovative technologies, but also by making the buildings themselves and the developed areas the epitome of human rationality and environmental friendliness.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Architectural guide. Georgia. Soviet Modernist В то время как здания в стиле советского модернизма, расположенные в Грузии, являются признанными архитектурными достопримечательностями уже на протяжении нескольких десятилетий, примеры монументального искусства тех времен всё еще ждут того часа, когда широкая аудитория откроет их для себя и оценит по достоинству. Яркие, изумительные мозаики, украшающие многие здания, являются полноценными произведениями искусства, и в то же время неотъемлемой частью архитектуры: они были призваны указывать на предназначение здания, определяли структуру его фасада или полностью покрывали его. В книге впервые задокументированы эти уникальные фрагменты советской истории искусства с указанием их точного географического положения. При помощи ярких фотографий и детальных описаний Нини Палавандишвили и Лена Пренц надеются привлечь внимание публики к художественному наследию. Они указывают на необходимость защищать и сохранять эти произведения искусства, которые представляют собой гораздо больше, чем просто элементы государственной пропаганды.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Architectural guide. MinskМинск был основан в 1067 году. Долгое время он был одним из многих небольших городов на территории Восточной Европы. По иронии судьбы именно колоссальные разрушения, причиненные Второй мировой войной, вдохновили советские власти на трансформацию Минска. В послевоенный период он стал одним из самых быстрорастущих городов мира, в котором постарались воплотить идею идеального советского города. Сегодня Минск, существующий в своеобразном политическом и экономическом контексте, воспринимается многими как архив советской архитектуры и градостроительства. Этот путеводитель, на создание которого ушло более трех лет, приглашает выйти за пределы круга популярных туристических достопримечательностей, предлагая читателю изучить все архитектурные слои города на примере 200 зданий, 10 площадей, 5 монументов, 7 парков, станций метро, а также жилых комплексов и серий панельных домов. Книга охватывает всё время существования города и его пространство: от Центральной площади до мемориального комплекса Тростенец на юго-восточной окраине; от средневекового Замчища и барочных церквей до новых гостиниц, возведенных к Чемпионату мира по хоккею в 2014 году; от небольшого деревянного дома РСДРП до завода-гиганта МТЗ и района Каменная Горка.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Architectural guide. The South of Russia. Buildings of the Soviet Avant-Garde 1922 1936The architecture of the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s and mid-1930s is attracting more and more attention from both domestic and foreign researchers, but in spite of this, entire regions remain unexplored. One of them, until recently, was the South of Russia - an area that encom passes the Southern Federal Dis trict and the North Caucasus Federal District. The state of this architectural heritage deserves special mention. In the South of Russia during the Second World War, there were active hostilities and mass destruction. Over the course of post-war reconstruction, many buildings were rebuilt in a neo classical style, and a whole layer of avant- garde works nearly disappeared. During the post- Soviet years, the management of these buildings was no less destructive. The product of extensive research, this guidebook divides the objects in question into two groups: those that have survived and those that have been lost forever. Fortunately, Architectural Guide The South of Russia allows readers to see more than 100 selected buildings of the Soviet avantgarde with their own eyes.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Architectural guide. WroclawВроцлав - один из старейших городов Польши, и следы подлинной истории встречаются здесь повсеместно. Город фактически переходил из рук в руки, в разные периоды он входил в состав Польского государства и королевства Богемии, являлся предметом притязаний Венгрии и был присоединен к Пруссии. После Второй мировой войны он стал частью Польской республики. И хотя во время войны пострадало почти семьдесят процентов городской застройки, Вроцлав все же смог восстать из руин. Сегодня он является настоящей жемчужиной Западной Польши и может гордиться своей архитектурой. Этот путеводитель представляет более 150 избранных сооружений - от авангардных жилых кварталов 1960-70-х годов, спроектированных Ядвигой Грабовска-Гавриляк, до "Зала Столетия", который Фонд Гетти признал одним из важнейших памятников интернационального стиля XX века. Особое внимание уделено одному из первых разноуровневых домов в мире - "Дому холостяков" Ганса Шаруна, а также современным проектам крупнейших польских архитекторов. Язык издания: английский.

Trains may be a little faster, but there are certainly no high-speed rail links yet across India, China or the USA. Passenger services have practically disappeared from the world's shipping lanes ... Recourse to air travel, even as a convenient means of escape, was not allowed.'
Following the route taken by Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier, Michael Palin set out from the Reform Club to circumnavigate the world. The rules were simple, but nothing else about the trip was straightforward...

Recollections of a Woman in Eleventh-century JapanAs I Crossed a Bridge of Dreams is a unique autobiography in which the anonymous writer known as Lady Sarashina intersperses personal reflections, anecdotes and lyrical poems with accounts of her travels and evocative descriptions of the Japanese countryside. Born in AD 1008, Lady Sarashina felt an acute sense of melancholy that led her to withdraw into the more congenial realm of the imagination - this deeply introspective work presents her vision of the world. While barely alluding to certain aspects of her life such as marriage, she illuminates her pilgrimages to temples and mystical dreams in exquisite prose, describing a profound emotional journey that can be read as a metaphor for life itself.

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Barcelona. Restaurants & More When the sun goes down, Spain's culinary culture comes alive; the Catalans like to enjoy their meals late into the night, to the surprise of many foreigners who are not accustomed to eating dinner as late as 11 p.m. or even midnight. But they quickly become accustomed to this very relaxed way of life, having learned to enjoy a siesta in the afternoon when all the shops are closed. A favorite way to usher in the evening hours is to visit a classic tapas bar such as TapaC24 or Cerveceria El Vaso de Oro, where fresh, simple, and delicious nibbles can be had while sipping a cold cerveza. When your appetite is in full swing and the hour grows late, choose from our restaurant recommendations such as 7 Portes, the oldest eatery in the city, or the very glamorous Noti. If after-dinner drinks are in order, be sure to visit Bar Gimlet for cocktails and jazz. And forget about that diet: you must try the scrumptiously sweet suizos and churros at Granja La Pallaresa!

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Between the Sunset and the Sea. A View of 16 British Mountains Simon Ingram takes us high into Britain s most forbidding and astonishing wild places through all the seasons of the year from the first blush of spring to the darkest bite of the mountain winter.
In the late 18th century, mountains shifted from being universally reviled to becoming the most inspiring things on earth. Simply put, the monsters became muses and an entire artistic movement was born. This movement became a love affair, the love affair became an obsession, and gradually but surely, obsession became lifestyle as mountains became stitched into the fabric of the British cultural tapestry.
In his compelling new book, Simon Ingram explores how mountains became such a preoccupation for the modern western imagination, weaving his own adventures into a powerful narrative which provides a kind of experiential hit list for people who don t have the time nor the will to climb a thousand mountains.
For some of these mountains, the most amazing thing about them might be the journey they ve taken to get here. Others, the tales of science, endeavour and art that have played out on their slopes. The mythology they re drenched in. The history they ve seen. The genius they ve inspired. The danger that draws people to them. The life that clusters around them, human and otherwise. The extreme weather they conjure. The adventure they fuel. The way that some raise the hairs on the back of your neck, and trigger powerful, strange emotions. And moreover, what they re like to be amidst, under, on just what that indefinable quality is that the British mountains wield which takes possession of you so powerfully, and never goes away.
From Beinn Dearg to Ben Nevis, Ingram takes us on a journey spanning sixteen of Britain s most evocative mountainous landscapes, and what they mean to us today. Год: 2016 Производитель: William Collins Артикул: 897272 ISBN: 9780007547906 Автор: Ingram Simon

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations It is the scene for our hopeful beginnings and our intended ends, and the timeless experiences of coming and going, meeting, greeting and parting. It is an institution with its own rituals and priests, and a long-neglected aspect of Britain's architecture. And yet so little do we look at the railway station.
Simon Jenkins has travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, from Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley, to select his hundred best railway stations. Blending his usual insight and authority with his personal reflections and experiences - including his founding the Railway Heritage Trust - the foremost expert on our national heritage deftly reveals the history, geography, design and significance of each of these glories.
Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this joyous exploration of our social history shows the station's role in the national imagination; champions the engineers, architects and rival companies that made them possible; and tells the story behind the triumphs and follies of these very British creations. These are the marvellous, often undersung places that link our nation, celebrated like never before. Год: 2021 Производитель: Penguin Артикул: 973022 ISBN: 9780241979006 Автор: Jenkins Simon

Реклама Лабиринт.ru Bryant & May s Peculiar London As the nation's oldest serving detectives, we know more about London than almost anyone. After all, we've been walking its streets and impulsively arresting its citizens for decades. Who better to take you through its less savoury side?
We'll be chatting about odd buildings, odder characters, lost venues, forgotten disasters, confusing routes, dubious gossip, illicit pleasures and hidden pubs. We'll be making all sorts of odd connections and showing you why it's almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in London.
With the help of some of our more disreputable friends, each an argumentative and unreliable expert in his or her own dodgy field, we'll explain why some streets have genders, why only two Londoners got to meet Dracula, how a department store and a prison played tricks on your mind, when a theatre got stranded in the past, how a building vanished in plain sight, what excited Charlotte Bronte about the city and where the devils hide in London.
We hope to capture something of the city's restless spirit by wilfully wandering off course, and it goes without saying that we'll bluff and bamboozle you along the way but that's all part of the fun. History is what you remember. London is what you forget (and we've forgotten a lot). So please do join us on this magical mystery tour of our city. Who knows where we'll end up?
