Bøger af Charles Dudley Warner

The only book that Mark Twain ever wrote in collaboration with another author, The Gilded Age is a novel that viciously and hilariously satirizes the greed, materialism, and corruption that characterized much of upper-class America in the nineteenth century. The title term-inspired by a line in Shakespeare's King John-has become synonymous with the excess of the era.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MASS PRODUCED COPIES OF "BADDECK & THAT SORT OF THING" this unique book, available only in quality paperback format, has the subtitle "The Book that Brought Alexander Graham Bell to Baddeck". It is an enhanced version, superior in content and quality, and contains the total original text of the 1874 bestselling travelogue written by Charles Dudley Warner PLUS added illustrations, photos, reviews & much carefully researched information. An additional bonus is the foreword, written by Alexander Graham Bell's great grandson Hugh Bell Muller. The original 1874 edition was responsible for Alexander Graham Bell coming to Baddeck, Nova Scotia for the first time in 1885. It was just 9 years after the telephone was patented and the young inventor and his wife, Mabel Hubbard Bell were looking for a place to get away from the unwanted attention his fame was bringing where they lived in Washington, D.C. Warner's description of the peaceful Scottish village intrigued the Bells and they serendipitously arrived in Baddeck to see for themselves. Falling in love with the Village of Baddeck and the Island of Cape Breton, they proceeded to establish a second home there. Named Beinn Bhreagh (Beautiful Mountain in Scottish Gaelic) it grew to an estate of 450 acres and was a beehive of activity over the next 37 years. The telephone was just the first of Bell's innovative accomplishments. Before he died in Baddeck in 1922 at age 75, he and his associates achieved many other successes - two of which were the first powered flight in Canada by the Silver Dart in 1909; the fastest boat in the world, his hydrofoil, the HD-4 in 1919. He and his wife are buried on the mountaintop of their estate, Beinn Bhreagh, which is still used and maintained by the Bell family descendants. Baddeck is now the site of a world class museum, the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, run by Parks Canada. The publishers, Deja Vu Press, have gathered a fascinating collection of related pieces - relevant photographs to enhance the original publication, notes on Warner and Twichell's comments and experiences while in Baddeck; reviews of Dudley's book from the days when it was a best seller; a follow up article written 20 years later by famed author and editor, William Webster Ellsworth; numerous Publisher's notes; and a new introduction. Foreword author Hugh Bell Muller, Alexander Graham Bell's great grandson, lives in retirement with his wife Jeanne at Beinn Bhreagh. As with many of Bell's descendants, they are actively involved in the community, especially the museum. It is a simple fact to state, that, as result of reading Warner's "Baddeck and that sort of thing", the Bells' influence changed Baddeck forever and put its name in the history books.

"The way to mount a horse"-said the Professor. "If you have no ladder-put in the Friend of Humanity." The Professor had ridden through the war for the Union on the right side, enjoying a much better view of it than if he had walked, and knew as much about a horse as a person ought to know for the sake of his character.

"Why not?" said a wit. "The Duke of Donnycastle always shakes hands with the pugilists at a mill." "It is not so bad"-the speaker was a Washington beauty in an evening dress that she would have condemned as indecorous for the dancer it is not so bad as I-" "Expected?" asked her companion, a sedate man of thirty-five, with the cynical air of a student of life. "As I feared," she added, quickly. "I have always had a curiosity to know what these Oriental dances mean." "Oh, nothing in particular, now. This was an exhibition dance. Of course its origin, like all dancing, was religious. The fault I find with it is that it lacks seriousness, like the modern exhibition of the dancing dervishes for money." "Do you think, Mr. Mavick, that the decay of dancing is the reason our religion lacks seriousness? We are in Lent now, you know.

The Professor and the Friend of Humanity were about starting on a journey, across country southward, through regions about which the people of Abingdon could give little useful information. If the travelers had known the capacities and resources of the country, they would not have started without a supply train, or the establishment of bases of provisions in advance.
