Author: Alice Morse Earle
Narrator: Joseph Tabler
"Customs and Fashions in Old New England," authored by Alice Morse Earle, takes listeners on an enthralling trip through the cultural, social, and daily lives of New England’s early immigrants. As the title character is so indulgent, listeners are forced to keep listeners to find out what happens next. Earle’s book, published in the late 1800s, is an in-depth look at the practices, traditions, and material culture that created the region’s history. Earle uses significant research and a colorful narrative to dive into the many dimensions of life in colonial New England. Not only does the book illustrate daily life in detail, but it also goes into the social conventions and ideals that governed colonial relationships. This book has been classified as a history and nonfiction work, and it is a fantastic compilation of concepts that have been condensed into a single draft for readers of various ages to read.

Free Download Philipp Franz Von Siebold, "Manners and Customs of the Japanese in the Nineteenth Century: From the Accounts of Dutch Residents in Japan and from the German Work of Dr. Philipp Franz von Siebold"

Free Download Marco Polo, "Great Journeys Customs of the Kingdoms of India"
English | 2007 | pages: 96 | ISBN: 0141025409 | EPUB | 1,6 mb
As Marco Polo (1254-1324) returned home across the Indian Ocean, after years in the service of Genghis Khan, he picked up a fabulous array of stories from sailors and merchants, about the peoples of the region, some reliable, some wholly implausible, but all fascinating. "Great Journeys" allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries – but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding things: great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, and multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.
