Based on the memoirs of my great-grandfather and the recollections of his son, this book gives a first-hand account of the life of a British dentist and his family in late 19th century Paris, with its excitement and political upheaval. James Heesom was an assistant to the famous American dentist, Thomas Wiltberger Evans, the first American to be awarded the Legion d'Honneur, whose patients included most of the crowned heads of Europe. Accompanying his employer, James visited the Tuileries to fit a plate for Napoleon III, also travelling to Russia to attend to the teeth of the Tsar. When Thomas Evans's practice split, James moved to the surgery of John d'Oyley-Evans. A would-be French aristocrat with a title that he had bought from the Pope, John travelled around Paris in a nobleman's carriage, together with two footmen in full livery.During the time that he worked for the Evans family, James met many people, from the latest mistress of the Emperor Napoleon III to politicians, aristocrats and the American nouveau riche, the least favourite of his patients. Outside his working life, he mentions his early years in Paris, when he visited student restaurants and dance-halls and appeared on stage in a walk-on role in a Paris opera. He was also a witness to the war-fever that seized Paris in 1870 and the aftermath of the siege. The recollections of James's son, Edwin are of a domestic nature, for example, he recalls his father's unsuccessful attempt to teach a patissier how to make hot cross buns. He also remembers some of the apartments they lived in, such as a house in rue Billault with the ateliers of several French and American artists.

"If you're planning a trip to Italy, read this so you don't miss out on the Italy that tours never visit. If you're staying at home, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Preferably with a nice Tuscan wine at your side." Dianne Hales, author of LA BELLA LINGUA"Many of us would love to live this book. James Shaw has done it for us and allowed us to come along. I like it all, an adventurous journey with a compassionate author. Well Done, Well Done." RoscaloniAn adventure of the heart in the mold of literature's classic spiritual journeys.It began with a girl. Then it was Italian food. After that it was books and discovering that even Mark Twain had fallen for Italy. E.M. Forster was smitten too: Love and understand the Italians, for the people are more marvelous than the land.What is it about Italy and Italians?Italian movies immortalize the mystique. Fellini called it La Dolce Vita. Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso took James Shaw back to the sweet memories of his childhood and the Italian family who operated the hometown theater. And just like in the movie, young James had an Alfredo who, by example, taught him about serving people.James learned that Italians don't feel they're special. Luigi Barzini, author of The Italians, repeatedly asked, Why are we the way we are? and found no conclusive answer.But James was convinced there was a reason why the Renaissance was born in Tuscany and Italy has given the world Saint Francis, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Galileo and now Benigni, whose film Life Is Beautiful, showed the world that the Italian zest for living can even make a heaven of a hell.And so, after a lifetime of thinking about Italy James became convinced that the way to find out why Italians are the way they are, would be to eat with them at their kitchen tables. Day after day he picked their olives and the Italians began treating him like family. And James began seeing their unique human quality that attracts people to Italy and keeps pulling them back again and again.But the story doesn't end in the olive groves of Tuscany. To discover the heart of Italian life, James had to travel back to World War II Italy.An Italian Journey will inspire you to follow your passions, your enthusiasms, to your own Beautiful Discoveries.Bella Scoperta

An American Journey: Travels with Friday in Search of America and Americans

An American Journey: Travels with Friday in Search of America and Americans

An American Journey is a captivating tale of America and Americans. "An American Journey will delight anyone who loves stories about people--not as television presents the folks of middle America, but the way they really are." IlonaIn the summer of 1962 James Shaw strapped an army surplus sleeping bag on his 3-speed Raleigh bike and set off from his small-town Nebraska home for the Rocky Mountains. He was fifteen years old and had just read John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley. Just like Steinbeck, James learned that America is filled with good-hearted characters, like the tobacco-chewing, foul-mouthed pool shark who, upon learning that James was looking for a place to camp, directed the wandering wayfarer to a pastor who let him sleep on his porch. Too old at sixty-five? Fifty years later, James had a few questions: How much has America changed since the days of John F. Kennedy? Are Americans still kind to strangers? And could he, at age sixty-five, bike the thousand-plus miles that lie between Wisconsin and Colorado? On this journey James took along a companion-a weird-looking, small-wheeled bike named Friday. By piquing the curiosity of everyone who saw it, that strange little blue bike introduced James to a fascinating cross section of Americans. From these people James discovered what has changed about America and the many things that are still essentially the same in this great and still wide-open country. An unforgettable cast of characters. You'll meet the people James met-memorable one-of-a-kind, salt-of-the-earth folks. Some days he met so many intriguing people that he rode only a couple of dozen miles. Their stories will inspire you. They will also serve as warnings that this great experiment that is known as America must be safeguarded. Steinbeck warned us-and so do the fascinating people you will meet in An American Journey. Their stories will remind you of all that is good about America-and just how much we stand to lose if we are not vigilant in protecting our freedoms. Travels with Friday will warm your heart with appreciation for the unique spirit of the American people.

It's April in Italy and the Journey of a Lifetime has just begun.After two weeks at sea the MS Oosterdam docked in Civitavecchia, Italy. Among the shipboard romantics was a not-so-young couple on their much-delayed honeymoon. Approaching their forty-sixth wedding anniversary, they had their hearts set on an Italian adventure they would have loved to have taken earlier in their marriage, but matters of making a living, making a life, and raising children kept them from getting away together.The surprises began before they got out of the harbor.Their Two for the Road adventure began as inauspiciously as Joanna and Mark's in that insightful 1967 film about marriage--walking along the side of a highway trailing suitcases and wishing someone would come along and save them from themselves. Mardi and James survived that misadventure thanks to the kindness of an Italian bus driver who went out of his way to deliver them where they needed to go. It was but the first of many times in their journey that the kindness of strangers and the everpresent Italian penchant for hospitality overwhelmed them.They called their wanderings Pinball Traveling Letting the beauty and people of Italy guide their journey.They traveled with no firm itinerary. If they saw something they liked, they had the freedom to explore it. If someone extended a hand of friendship, they had the opportunity to accept it.Mysteries abound in this life--and their sojourn in southern Italy and the warm-hearted Italians they met gave Mardi and James thankful eyes to take a fresh look at their high-spirited marriage.An Italian Love Story will inspire you to take your own journey of a lifetime--which may, as it did for Mardi and James, bring you face-to-face with not only the incredible warmth of the Italian people and the intoxicating beauty of Italy, but also to the perplexing mysteries of your own life.Buon Viaggio
