417 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 5h13min.
Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) "Qui a bu boira," assure le proverbe ; on pourrait modifier légèrement la formule, et dire avec non moins de justesse : "Qui a voyagé voyagera." – La soif de voir, comme l’autre soif, s’irrite au lieu de s’éteindre en se satisfaisant. Me voici à Constantinople, et déjà je songe au Caire et à l’Égypte. L’Espagne, l’Italie, l’Afrique, l’Angleterre, la Belgique, la Hollande, une partie de l’Allemagne, la Suisse, les îles grecques, quelques échelles de la côte d’Asie, visitées à plusieurs époques et à diverses reprises, n’ont fait qu’augmenter ce désir de vagabondage cosmopolite. Le voyage est peut-être un élément dangereux à introduire dans la vie, car il trouble profondément et cause des inquiétudes semblables à celles des oiseaux de passage prisonniers au moment des migrations, si quelque circonstance ou quelque devoir vous empêche de partir. On sait que l’on va s’exposer à des fatigues, à des privations, à des ennuis, à des périls même, il en coûte de renoncer à de chères habitudes d’esprit et de cœur, de quitter sa famille, ses amis, ses relations, pour l’inconnu, et cependant l’on sent qu’il est impossible de rester, et ceux qui vous aiment n’essayent pas de vous retenir et vous serrent silencieusement la main sur le marchepied de la voiture. En effet, ne faut-il pas parcourir un peu la planète sur laquelle nous gravitons à travers l’immensité, jusqu’à ce que le mystérieux auteur nous transporte dans un monde nouveau pour nous faire lire une autre page de son œuvre infinie ? N’est-ce pas une coupable paresse d’épeler toujours le même mot sans jamais tourner le feuillet ? Quel poète serait satisfait de voir le lecteur s’en tenir à une seule de ses strophes ?" Le romancier et poète Théophile Gautier, en 1852, part pour Constantinople.et nous conte son voyage...

A narrative history of Cleveland's West Side"e;In the beginning, two settlements straddled the Cuyahoga River at its northernmost reach, where it twists its way into Lake Erie. The older and larger of the two, Cleveland, was on the east bank. The younger community on the west bank was called Brooklyn Township, later to be known as the City of Ohio or, familiarly, Ohio City, and, ultimately, the West Side. The twain faced each other as rival entities for many years, divided not only by the waters of the river but by political, historical, and economic differences as well."e; -from West of the CuyahogaLongtime columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, George E. Condon turns his keen reportorial eye to Cleveland's West Side, an area rich in history but too often overlooked in scholarly texts. In easy, polished prose, Condon regales the reader with stories of settlement, migration, and development, all the while bringing to life such characters as "e;Ice Wagon"e; Kilbane, whose legendary punch laid many West Side Irishmen low, and "e;Six O'Clock"e; Dorsey, said to have been the skinniest kid in the Old Angle neighborhood, and "e;Needles"e; McCafferty, who took his dinkey trolley sightseeing one memorable night.This seasoned newspaperman has been soaking up stray facts and vanishing information for more than five decades. Condon's voracious appetite for facts and a nose for where to find them bring alive this Cleveland history, engaging the reader with his authentic stories, humorous anecdotes, and fond perspective.West of the Cuyahoga fills a gap in the history of Cleveland, Ohio, and reveals the gleanings of a lifetime for a local journalist and raconteur.
