A brilliant, perceptive biography of the father and son who initiated the age of the railway.

L T C Rolt was one of a small group of amateur railwaymen who made their dream of running their own railway come true. Established by Act of Parliament in 1865 and unaffected by mergers and nationalisation, the Talyllyn Railway has been serving a remote valley in the Merioneth mountains ever since. This book presents this railway adventure.

Thomas Telford, the son of a shepherd, was born in Westerkirk, Scotland in 1757. At the age of 14, he was apprenticed to a stonemason. He worked for a time in Edinburgh and in 1792, he moved to London.

Landscape with Machines: The First Part of his Autobiography

This powerful collection of short stories of the supernatural combines L.T.C. Rolt's writing talent with his unparalleled knowledge of Britain's industrial heritage to produce tales of real mystery and imagination. This haunting anthology takes the reader on a journey from Cornwall to Wales and from the hill country of Shropshire to the west coast of Ireland. "The House of Vengeance," set in the Black Mountains of South Wales, tells what happens when a walker becomes lost and disorientated as the mist falls, while in "The Gartside Fell Disaster" an old railwayman recounts the terrible night when the Mountaineer came to grief. Alongside these are twelve other tales of elemental fears and strange and inexplicable happenings. First published in 1948, this enduring collection will appeal to all those who, like Tom Rolt, are passionate about the backdrop of our industrial landscape, but will also delight and terrify anyone who loves a good, old-fashioned ghost story.

At 19, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was in charge, under his father, of an engineering work that is the wonder of Europe: the Thames tunnel, completed in 1843. As well as his interest in canals he also turned his attention to neglcted railways and set up the first organisation to save and run a railway with a mainly volunteer workforce.

First published in 1944, and now reissued with new black-and-white illustrations and a foreword by Jo Bell, Canal Laureate, this book has become a classic on its subject, and may be said to have started a revival of interest in the English waterways.

Az érzékiség (...) nem korlátozódik a szerelemre és az ösztönökre, hanem elsődlegesen az érzéki minőségek intenzitását jelenti, vagyis mindazt, ami az öt-hat érzékre tartozik: az erőteljes színeket, szagokat, tapintási élményeket, ízeket, hangokat, valamint intuíciókat, érzelmeket, ...

Az utóbbi években jobbára az érzékiség, a testi létezés és egyáltalán a tapasztalat kérdései foglalkoztattak, akár irodalmi szövegekről, akár filozófiai problémákról írtam. A kötet ezekből a kritikákból, esszékből és tanulmányokból tartalmaz válogatást. Az elemzések során felmerülnek metafizikai, politikai, hatalmi, fenomenológiai, poétikai, stb. szempontok, vagyis mindazon viszonylatok, melyekhez testi létezésünk okán közünk van.
