『Journal of a Trapper: Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains 1834-1843』著:Osborne Russell Journal of a Trapper is one of the most important first hand accounts of the mountain man era. In it, Russell provides a detailed narrative describing the day-to-day life of an ordinary trapper in the Rocky Mountains. The Journal begins when Russell hired on with Nathaniel Wyeth's second expedition to the west. He participated in the establishment of Fort Hall, and later became a free trapper. He trapped for nine years in the greater Yellowstone region before leaving the mountains to settle in Oregon.Osborne Russell (1814 – August 2, 1892) was a mountain man and politician who helped form the government of the U.S. state of Oregon. He was born in Maine. Russell first came to the Oregon Country in 1834 as a member of Nathaniel J. Wyeth's second expedition. He returned to the country in 1842 with the Elijah White party. He participated in the May 2, 1843 Champoeg Meeting, voting in favor of forming a government. In October of that year he was selected by the First Executive Committee to serve as the supreme judge for the Provisional Government of Oregon and served until May 14, 1844. In 1844, he was elected to the second Executive Committee of the Provisional Government of Oregon. He was allied with the group that planned to create an independent Republic of the Pacific and thus was unsuccessful in his run for governor of the Provisional Government in 1845, losing to George Abernethy. Russell eventually went to California. Although not published until well after the establishment of Yellowstone National Park, Osborne's Journal of a Trapper contains an early description of the Lamar Valley or Osborne's Secluded Valley in Yellowstone. |

『Walking』著:Erling Kagge & Becky L. Crook A lyrical account of an activity that is essential for our sanity, equilibrium, and well-being, from the author of Silence ("A book to be handled and savored." —The Wall Street Journal)Placing one foot in front of the other, embarking on the journey of discovery, and experiencing the joy of exploration—these activities are intrinsic to our nature. Our ancestors traveled long distances on foot, gaining new experiences and learning from them. But as universal as walking is, each of us will experience it differently. For Erling Kagge, it is the gateway to the questions that fascinate him—Why do we walk? Where do we walk from? What is our destination?—and in this book he invites us to investigate them along with him. Language reflects the idea that life is one single walk; the word "journey" comes from the distance we travel in the course of a day. Walking for Kagge is a natural accompaniment to creativity: the occasion for the unspoken dialogue of thinking. Walking is also the antidote to the speed at which we conduct our lives, to our insistence on rushing, on doing everything in a precipitous manner—walking is among the most radical things we can do. |

『Smoke and Seasoned Bread』著:Hasan Semay ‘Jam-packed full of incredible food from his travels around Turkey, this is Has at his best – bold, honest, beautiful, and full of heart’ – Jamie Oliver‘Spilling over with vivid, off-the-beaten-track celebrations of Turkish food culture. Soulful, inquisitive and thrillingly unpretentious all at once.’ – Jimi Famurewa Though language and culture are shared, Has' Cypriot upbringing left mainland Turkey feeling somewhat distant. Arriving on the south coast, he travels across mountains to the corners of the country; not only unveiling culinary traditions, but unearthing the very history that flavours them. Think kebabs that bridge generations, stews that tell tales, breads that warm your soul, and desserts that are sweet escapism – draped in buttery layers of history and dripping with syrup. Has looks at heritage dishes, eating Adanan kofte in Adana, but also tries local delicacies, like pistachios in Gaziantep. Hasan is in his Bourdain era and his evolution as a writer is evident as we experience Turkey through his perspective. A fascinating and meticulously researched blend of recipes, travelogue, history & memoir, this cookbook is a Turkish delight that aspires to sit alongside Olia Hercules' Mamushka, Sabrina Ghayour's Persiana and Sami Tamimi's Jerusalem. Reviews ‘Jam-packed full of incredible food from his travels around Turkey, this is Has at his best – bold, honest, beautiful, and full of heart’ – Jamie Oliver 'Propulsive, evocative and spilling over with vivid, off-the-beaten-track celebrations of Turkish food culture at its most delicious. Manages to be soulful, inquisitive and thrillingly unpretentious all at once. No one does it like Has.’ – Jimi Famurewa ‘A Bourdain-like journal of an identity-affirming journey. So many delicious details, written with care and love’ – Mike Davies, The Camberwell Arms ‘A vivid look into the extensively diverse world of Turkish food: a cuisine we thought we knew, but Semay’s wondrous dive shows us so much more’ – Riaz Phillips ‘An incredible insight into exploring identity through food. Hasan has smashed it once again’ – Allan Mustafa, Taste Cadets 'Turkish food through Hasan’s lense; championing humble, honest, real food with bold flavours. Salivating!’ – Ozlem Warren, author of Sebze ‘Every dish in this book tells a story, and Hasan has done an incredible job showcasing the beauty of Turkish culture through food’ – Gennaro Contaldo Praise for HOME: ‘Books like this come quite rarely … His ability to cook is phenomenal. Reminds me of my first book’ – Jamie Oliver, BBC The Food Program ‘An unfiltered masterclass in the best things in life, namely hero ingredients blasted with searing heat and canny flavours that make life-affirming platefuls. You’d be mad to miss it.’ – Great British Food Awards 10 Best Cookbooks of 2022 ‘Outrageously delicious, addictive food cooked with big love and attitude’ – Jamie Oliver |

『America Day by Day』著:Simone de Beauvoir & Carol Cosman In 1947 Simone de Beauvoir took a road trip across America.She travelled from coast to coast, from New York to Hollywood, taking in New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana and Washington DC. She rode a pony through the Grand Canyon, listened to jazz in New Orleans and visited the nightclubs of Chicago. And she captured the entire experience in her journal. This captivating book is that journal and an immersive portrait of postwar America. Beauvoir was disturbed by the poverty and segregation she encountered and at the same time delighted by American energy and friendliness. Intimate, warm, and compulsively readable, this is travel writing from the iconic feminist and thinker, Simone de Beauvoir. On New York: 'I walk between the steep cliffs at the bottom of a canyon where no sun penetrates: it's permeated by a salt smell. Human history is not inscribed on these carefully calibrated buildings: They are closer to prehistoric caves than to the houses of Paris or Rome.' On Los Angeles: 'I watch the Mexican dances and eat chilli con carne, which takes the roof off my mouth, I drink the tequila and I'm utterly dazed with pleasure.' |

Je confonds déjà les souvenirs entre Raiatea et Tahaa, entre Moorea, Bora Bora et Manua, et qu’est-ce que cela pourra bien être lorsque nous serons passés à Tutuila, Upolu, Savai’i, et aux Fidji ?"

Charmian London porte sur ces contrées un regard vivant et spontané de femme occidentale libérée, parfois empreint des préjugés colonialistes de l’époque. Un document inédit indispensable pour tous les amateurs de l’oeuvre de Jack London. |

『A Russian Journal』著:John Steinbeck, Robert Capa & Susan Shillinglaw Steinbeck and Capa’s account of their journey through Cold War Russia is a classic piece of reportage and travel writing.Featuring newly reset, high-resolution black and white photography by Robert Capa A Penguin Classic Just after the Iron Curtain fell on Eastern Europe, Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Steinbeck and acclaimed war photographer Robert Capa ventured into the Soviet Union to report for the New York Herald Tribune. This rare opportunity took the famous travelers not only to Moscow and Stalingrad – now Volgograd – but through the countryside of the Ukraine and the Caucasus. Hailed by the New York Times as “superb” when it first appeared in 1948, A Russian Journal is the distillation of their journey and remains a remarkable memoir and unique historical document. What they saw and movingly recorded in words and on film was what Steinbeck called “the great other side there … the private life of the Russian people.” Unlike other Western reporting about Russia at the time, A Russian Journal is free of ideological obsessions. Rather, Steinbeck and Capa recorded the grim realities of factory workers, government clerks, and peasants, as they emerged from the rubble of World War II—represented here in Capa’s stirring photographs alongside Steinbeck’s masterful prose. Through it all, we are given intimate glimpses of two artists at the height of their powers, answering their need to document human struggle. This edition features an introduction by Steinbeck scholar Susan Shillinglaw. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. |

『Le Journal d'un loup』著:Mariusz Wilk En 1991, Mariusz Wilk s'est retire sur les îles Solovki, archipel isolé de la mer blanche, véritable microcosme des dépouilles de I’empire soviétique. De là, il observe et tente d'expliquer le quotidien de la vaste Russie, ses contradictions, sa misère et ses grandeurs. À Solovki, se reflète I’histoire tumultueuse et complexe de la Russie avec ses hauts et ses bas. L'île abrite en effet depuis des siècles un monastère centre de I'orthodoxie, mais aussi les restes du SLON, premier camp de travail force d'Union soviétique, véritable laboratoire du goulag établi au lendemain de la révolution de 1917. Pendant les six ans de son séjour, Wilk a connu chacun des mille habitants de Solovki, évoqué avec eux leurs destins broyés, pittoresques ou cocasses, affronte avec eux un environnement hostile, mais aussi partagé leur fascination pour I’étrange beauté des paysages du Grand Nord. Wilk nous offre là un document d'une rare valeur, une véritable mine de renseignements servis par un style image et lyrique. S'il s'inscrit dans la lignée des écrivains-reporters célèbres en Pologne tels que Kapuscinski ou Krall, son regard original a la fois décalé, fascine et complice fera date dans le genre particulier du reportage littéraire. Mariusz Wilk (né en 1955) vit en Russie depuis plus de vingt ans. Opposant politique en Pologne, il y a été emprisonné pendant « l’état de guerre ». En 1989, il quitte la civilisation pour aller vivre dans les îles Solovki et, dix ans plus tard, en Carélie. Il a publié aux Éditions Noir sur Blanc : Le Journal d’un loup (1999), La Maison au bord de l’Oniégo (2006), Dans les pas du renne (2009), Portage (2010) et Dans le sillage des oies sauvages (2013). |
