A Rotten Person (v. 1.2.10)

"If you look at a map, you will see that the island chain known as the Caribbean, or, to confuse you, the West Indies, lies between Florida and South America and resembles a string of gems or possibly drool." And so begins author Gary Buslik's tale of tropical adventure. Each chapter of this often hilarious and sometimes poignant travelogue recounts another island-hopping, culture-clashing crisis that pits the homesick author against falling coconuts, hospitals that remove wrong organs, insects as big and dangerous as stealth bombers, ticket agents that put him on hold for hours, mysteriously calculated currency exchanges, over-proofed rum, livestock, singing Rastafarians, garbage-bin sex, peanut-crazed children, Idi Amin, flesh-eating monkeys, dentists, cricket, steel drum bands, and the French. Fortunately, even when making fun of his West Indian hosts, the curmudgeonly author's essential good nature and devotion to his wife twinkle through, and in the end his stubborn geocentricity gives way to a heartfelt appreciation of his island hosts.

In Writing Away: A Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Writing Traveler, Lavinia Spalding spins the romantic tradition of keeping a travelogue into a modern adventure in creativity and awareness. Writing Away is an illuminating, witty book introducing the travel journal as an instrument to help you observe and remember your travels in a more dynamic way by teaching you to keep an active record — and by convincing you, first and foremost, to write stuff down.

More than a typical guide to keeping track of vacation highlights, Spalding shows how to use pen and paper to connect with your outer and inner landscape by keeping a travel journal as a practice. Writing Away helps you slow down and commit to the present moment; it nurtures honesty and creativity, motivates your inner artist to discover creative material every step of the way, and demonstrates again and again how traveling — and keeping a journal while doing so — is the world’s most valuable writing exercise.

Designed to accompany, awaken, and inspire the journal-writing traveler, Writing Away includes more than fifty lively, experimental exercises to keep you interested in journaling and channel your experiences into fulfilling projects that also preserve memories. You will learn to embrace mishaps so as to enrich the whole experience, recognize in advance what you truly want to remember, tap into your senses, overcome writer’s block and procrastination, and tackle discipline, routine, structure, and momentum.

Whether you’re an aspiring artist or veteran writer, a first-time wanderer or seasoned traveler, an armchair adventurer or a curious spiritual soul, with Writing Away and a journal tucked into your bag, you will see the world — and yourself in it — differently.

A Sense of Place (v. 1.2.10)

Great writers inspire readers to head out in search of foreign sunsets, but in this instance, they inspired travel writer Michael Shapiro to head out for the great writers themselves. A Sense of Place is one writer's journey to visit all the heroes who have motivated him — to pack a pen and toothbrush, to find out where they live, why they chose the place, and how it influences their writing. In each scene, readers, writers, and travelers are given a glimpse of the locale and surroundings of the writer: Simon Winchester's Massachusetts, Redmond O'Hanlon's London, Jan Morris's Wales, or Frances Mayes's Tuscany. But then it's left up to the writers themselves to situate the reader and describe their lives, their craft, and their remarkable world, which they do with living-room intimacy. The result is engaging, illuminating, and transporting for writers and travelers alike.

We continue this tradition with The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010, the sixth collection in our annual series guaranteed to inspire women to take their first trip — or to continue exploring the world with wit, soul, and verve, as so many adventurous women do each and every day.

This best-selling, award-winning series presents the finest accounts of women who have traveled to the ends of the earth to discover new places, peoples — and themselves. The common threads connecting the stories are a woman's perspective and lively storytelling to make the reader laugh, cry, wish she were there, or be glad she wasn't. From climbing a volcano in Ecuador to running a kennel for pariah dogs in India to helping prepare meals in Iran, the points of view and perspectives are global and the themes eclectic, including stories that encompass spiritual growth, hilarity and misadventure, high adventure, romance, solo journeys, stories of service to humanity, family travel, and encounters with exotic cuisine.

    * A childless American is adopted by a six-year-old and becomes part of the family in Italy
    * Cultural understanding deepens in surprising ways through language lessons in

    * On a fact-finding mission in Afghanistan, a retired professor learns that peace is
      everything

      ...and much more.

Sword of Heaven (v. 1.2.10)

“Any attempt at peace must be attended by a knowledge of self,” discovers writer and photographer Mikkel Aaland, who grew up with a bomb shelter for a bedroom, in terror of nuclear war. At the height of the Cold War, Aaland finds himself drawn into a mysterious Shinto priest’s plan to save the world. Traveling from Norway to the Philippines, Iceland to South Africa, he places pieces of a sacred Shinto sword in key power spots around the world. Along the way, he comes face to face with his deepest childhood fears of war and destruction, encounters the compelling and mysterious Shinto religion, struggles with the uncertainties of love, and learns to face life with an open heart.

The Sword of Heaven tells the extraordinary true story of a journey in which all boundaries are pushed — geographical, cultural, and personal — and in which the healing of the world and the healing of one man appear to be inextricably linked.

Storm (v. 1.2.10)

Begun as a grand adventure, Storm tells the story of a trip that quickly became a tumultuous test of endurance. When the Baltic States of the former Soviet Union opened up, Allen and his girlfriend Suzanne were drawn to the prospect of traveling together once again. Setting out on a motorcycle, the two seasoned travelers rode through Germany, Denmark, and Sweden to the Arctic Circle, then on to Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Though they’d been together for seven years, and thought they knew what to expect from an extended road trip, they couldn’t foresee the unrelenting natural elements, shifts in once-shared dreams, or fissures in their relationship that lay ahead. Often darkly humorous, Storm reveals a couple’s love and the fragility of human connections as it recounts the journey that became a test of both riders’ physical and emotional endurance.

《射雕英雄传》又名《大漠英雄传》，是“射雕三部曲”之一，下接《神雕侠侣》《倚天屠龙记》。这部小说历史背景突出，场景纷繁，气势宏伟，具有鲜明的“英雄史诗”风格；在人物创造与情节安排上，它打破了传统武侠小说一味传奇，将人物作为情节附庸的模式，坚持以创造个性化的人物形象为中心，坚持人物统帅故事，按照人物性格的发展需要及其内在可能性、必然性来设置情节，从而使这部小说达到了事虽奇人却真的妙境。本书最初连载于1957～1959年的《香港商报》。《射雕英雄传》现收录在《金庸作品集》中。
