“So, Miss Honeychurch, you are travelling? As a student of art?”
“Oh, dear me, no―oh, no!”
“Perhaps as a student of human nature,” interposed Miss Lavish, “like myself?”
“Oh, no. I am here as a tourist.”
“Oh, indeed,” said Mr Eager. “Are you indeed? If you will not think me rude, we 5
residents sometimes pity you poor tourists not a little―handed about like a parcel of goods
from Venice to Florence, from Florence to Rome, living herded together in pensions or hotels,
quite unconscious of anything that is outside Baedeker, their one anxiety to get „done‟ or
„through‟ and go on somewhere else. The result is, they mix up towns, rivers, palaces in one
inextricable whirl. You know the American girl in Punch who says: „Say, poppa, what did we 10
see at Rome?‟ And the father replies: „Why, guess Rome was the place where we saw the
yaller dog.‟ There‟s travelling for you. Ha! ha! ha!”
“I quite agree,” said Miss Lavish, who had several times tried to interrupt his mordant
wit. “The narrowness and superficiality of the Anglo-Saxon tourist is nothing less than a
menace.” 15
“Quite so. Now, the English colony at Florence, Miss Honeychurch―and it is of
considerable size, though, of course, not all equally―a few are here for trade, for example.
But the greater part are students.”

The object of the present Handbook, like that of the Editor’s other works of the same description, is to render the traveller as independent as possible of the services of guides, valets-de-place, and others of the same
class, to supply him with a few remarks on the progress of civilisation and art among the people with whom he is about to become acquainted, and to
enable him to realise to the fullest extent the enjoyment and instruction of which Italy is so fruitful a source. The Handbook is, moreover, intended to place the traveller in a position
to visit the places and objects most deserving of notice with the greatest possible economy of time, money, and, it may be added, temper; for in no
country is the traveller’s patience more severely put to the test than in some parts of Italy. The Editor will endeavour to accompany the enlightened traveller through the streets of the Italian towns, to all the principal edifices
and works of art; and to guide his steps amidst the exquisite scenery in which Italy so richly abounds. […]
INTRODUCTION
"Thou art the garden of the world, the home Of all Art yields, and Nature can decree; Even in thy desert, what is like to thee? Thy very weeds are beautiful, thy waste
More rich than other climes' fertility, Thy wreck a glory, and thy ruin graced
With an immaculate charm which cannot be defaced." Byron
From the earliest ages down to the present time Italy has ever exercised a powerful influence on the denizens of more northern lands, and a journey thither has often been the fondly cherished wish of many an aspiring
traveller. At the present day this wish may be gratified with comparative facility. A great network of railways now overspreads the entire peninsula,
and even the more remote towns may be visited with little sacrifice of time. Northern Italy, more especially, with Milan, Venice, and Genoa, is of very easy access to travellers in Switzerland and the Tyrol; and, although its
attractions are doubtless inferior to those of Florence, Rome, and Naples, it is replete with interest and instruction for the ordinary traveller, as well as
for those whose object is scientific research. Rapidity of locomotion is not, however, the sole advantage which has been attained since that period. A
single monetary system has superseded the numerous and perplexing varieties of coinage formerly in use: the annoyances inseparable from passports and custom-houses, with which the traveller was assailed at
every frontier, and even in many an insignificant town, have been greatly mitigated; and energetic measures have been adopted in order to put an
end to the extortions of vetturini, facchini and other members of this irritating class. […]

How Bambi, the female Banksy, became the new star of street art
From Kanye West to Brad Pitt, the A list are queuing to buy work by the Londoner who's determined to stay anonymous

She has spent years dodging the police in north London, armed
with her spray cans and stencils, but this summer Britain's leading female street artist, known as Bambi, has been propelled into a
world of wealth and glamour. When rapper Kanye West presented the artist's semi-nude portrait of his bride, Kim Kardashian, as a
wedding gift, it was a bling crowning moment for the artist.
Just who is Bambi? The graffiti star was dubbed "the female
Banksy" when she gained more widespread public attention in 2011 with the appearance of her striking image of the late Amy
Winehouse on a Camden Town doorway. Like her male counterpart, she keeps her identity secret. And now, just like the
renowned Bristol artist, her work costs tens of thousands of pounds: where once she simply paid tribute to the style of
celebrities such as Winehouse, David Beckham and Kate Moss, today she is commissioned by international A-list entertainers,
including Rihanna, Robbie Williams, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Famous names are queueing up to buy her work. Bambi's restored
painting of Winehouse, once painted over by the local council, now lies reverently protected under Perspex. American actress Michelle
Rodriguez, star of Lost, commissioned a Bambi portrait of her then girlfriend, supermodel Cara Delevingne, and Pitt is thought to have
paid £60,000 for Bambi's wedding portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, featuring the slogan "A bit like Marmite",
before commissioning further portraits of his own family.
Robbie Williams bought Bambi's image of a baby before his child
was born in 2012, while his former Take That colleague Mark Owen spent £20,000 on one of the artist's works for his 40th birthday.
Singer Adele and Harry Styles, of One Direction, are also believed to own pieces by Bambi (…).
An exhibition at Sakhai's gallery, called When Banksy Met Bambi,
displayed works by the two artists alongside each other.

He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be One against whom there was no official complaint, And all the reports on his conduct agree That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint, For in everything he did he served the Greater Community. Except for the War till the day he retired He worked in a factory and never got fired, But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc. Yet he wasn‟t a scab or odd in his views, For his Union reports that he paid his dues, (Our report on his Union shows that it was sound) And our Social Psychology workers found That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink. The Press are convinced that he bought a paper everyday And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way. Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured, And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured. Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan And had everything necessary to the Modern Man, A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire. Our researchers into Public Opinion are content That he held the proper opinions for the time of year; When there was peace, he was for peace; when there was war, he went. He was married and added five children to the population, Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation, And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education. Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd: Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.
W.H. (Wystan Hugh) AUDEN, “The Unknown Citizen”, Another
And all the houses in the street have got a name „Cause all the houses in the street they look the same
Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes The neighbours call to tell you things that you should know
They say their lines, they drink their tea and then they go
They tell your business in another Shangri-La The gas bills and the water rates and payments on the car
Too scared to think about how insecure you are Life ain‟t so happy in your little Shangri-La
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, la, la, la, la

There was a book lying near Alice on the table, and while she sat watching the White King (for she
was still a little anxious about him, and had the ink all ready to throw over him, in case he fainted again), she turned over the leaves, to find some part that she could read, „– for it‟s all in some language I don‟t know,‟ she said to herself.
It was like this. YKCOWREBBAJ
sevot yhtils eht dna ,gillirb sawT`
ebaw eht ni elbmig dna eryg diD ,sevogorob eht erew ysmim llA .ebargtuo shtar emom eht dnA
She puzzled over this for some time, but at last a bright thought struck her. „Why, it‟s a
Looking-glass book, of course! And if I hold it up to a glass, the words will all go the right way again.‟ This was the poem that Alice read:
JABBERWOCKY. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe. `Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought – So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
`And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
„It seems very pretty,‟ she said when she had finished it, “but it‟s rather hard to understand!‟
(You see she didn‟t like to confess, ever to herself, that she couldn‟t make it out at all.) „Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas – only I don‟t exactly know what they are! However, somebody killed
something: that‟s clear, at any rate –‟

A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood.
A fox saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good.
“Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house.”
“It‟s terribly kind of you, Fox, but no – I‟m going to have lunch with a gruffalo.”
“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?” “A gruffalo! Why, didn‟t you know?
He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.”
“Where are you meeting him?” “Here, by these rocks,
And his favourite food is roasted fox.” “Roasted fox! I’m off!” Fox said.
“Goodbye, little mouse,” and away he sped. “Silly old Fox! Doesn‟t he know,
There‟s no such thing as a gruffalo?”
On went the mouse through the deep dark wood.
An owl saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good. “Where are you going to, little brown mouse?
Come and have tea in my treetop house.” “It‟s frightfully kind of you, Owl, but no –
I‟m going to have tea with a gruffalo.” “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”
“A gruffalo! Why, didn‟t you know? He has knobbly knees, and turned-out toes,
And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.” “Where are you meeting him?”
“Here, by this stream, And his favourite food is owl ice cream.”
“Owl ice cream! Toowhit toowhoo!
Goodbye, little mouse,” and away Owl flew. “Silly old Owl! Doesn‟t he know,
There‟s no such thing as a gruffalo?”
On went the mouse through the deep dark wood. A snake saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good.
“Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come for a feast in my logpile house.”
“It‟s wonderfully good of you, Snake, but no – I‟m having a feast with a gruffalo.”
“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?” “A gruffalo! Why, didn‟t you know?

His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; He has purple prickles all over his back.”
“Where are you meeting him?” “Here, by this lake,
And his favourite food is scrambled snake.” “Scrambled snake! It’s time I hid!
Goodbye, little mouse,” and away Snake slid.
“Silly old Snake! Doesn‟t he know, There‟s no such thing as a gruffal...?
...Oh! But who is this creature with terrible claws
And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws? He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes,
And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. His eyes are orange, his tongue is black;
He has purple prickles all over his back. Oh help! Oh no!
It‟s a gruffalo!”
“My favourite food!” the Gruffalo said. “You’ll taste good on a slice of bread!”
“Good?” said the mouse. “Don‟t call me good!
I‟m the scariest creature in this wood. Just walk behind me and soon you‟ll see,
Everyone is afraid of me.” “All right,” said the Gruffalo, bursting with laughter.
“You go ahead and I’ll follow after.”
They walked and walked till the Gruffalo said, “I hear a hiss in the leaves ahead.”
“It‟s Snake,” said the mouse. “Why, Snake, hello!” Snake took one look at the Gruffalo.
“Oh crumbs!” he said, “Goodbye, little mouse!” And off he slid to his logpile house.
“You see?" said the mouse. “I told you so.” “Amazing!” said the Gruffalo.
They walked some more till the Gruffalo said, “I hear a hoot in the trees ahead.”
“It‟s Owl,” said the mouse. “Why, Owl, hello!” Owl took one look at the Gruffalo.
“Oh dear!” he said, “Goodbye, little mouse!” And off he flew to his treetop house.
“You see?” said the mouse. “I told you so.” “Astounding!” said the Gruffalo.
They walked some more till the Gruffalo said,

“I can hear feet on the path ahead.” “It‟s Fox,” said the mouse. “Why, Fox, hello!”
Fox took one look at the Gruffalo. “Oh help!” he said, “Goodbye, little mouse!”
And off he ran to his underground house. “Well, Gruffalo,” said the mouse. “You see?
Everyone is afraid of me!
But now my tummy‟s beginning to rumble. My favourite food is – gruffalo crumble!”
“Gruffalo crumble!” the Gruffalo said, And quick as the wind he turned and fled.
All was quiet in the deep dark wood.
The mouse found a nut and the nut was good.

I did not dare to dream that it would one day be I that would go to
England. It would one day be I who would sail on a ship as big as a
world and feel the sun's heat on my face gradually change from
roasting to caressing. But there was I! Standing at the door of a
house in London and ringing the bell. Pushing my finger to hear the
ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling. Oh, Celia Langley, where were you then with
your big ideas and your nose in the air? Could you see me? Could you
see me there in London? Hortense Roberts married with a gold ring
and a wedding dress in a trunk. Mrs Joseph. Mrs Gilbert Joseph. What
you think of that, Celia Langley? There was I in England ringing the
door bell on one of the tallest houses I had ever seen.
But when I pressed this doorbell I did not hear a ring. No ding-a-ling,
ding-a-ling. I pressed once more in case the doorbell was not
operational. The house, I could see, was shabby. Mark you, shabby in
a grand sort of a way. I was sure this house could once have been
home to a doctor or a lawyer or perhaps a friend of a friend of the
king's. Only the house of someone high-class would have pillars at the
doorway. Ornate pillars that twisted with elaborate design. The glass
stained with coloured pictures as a church would have. It was true
that some were missing, replaced by cardboard and strips of white
tape. But who knows what devilish deeds Mr Hitler's bombs carried
out during the war? I pushed the doorbell again when it was obvious
no one was answering my call. I held my thumb against it and
pressed my ear to the window. A light came on now and a woman's
voice started calling, ‘All right, all right, I'm coming! Give us a
minute.’
I stepped back down two steps avoiding a small lump of dog's-
business that rested in some litter and leaves. I straightened my coat,
pulling it closed where I had unfortunately lost a button. I adjusted
my hat in case it had sagged in the damp air and left me looking
comical. I pulled my back up straight.
The door was answered by an Englishwoman. A blonde-haired, pink-
cheeked Englishwoman with eyes so blue they were the brightest
thing in the street. She looked on my face, parted her slender lips and
said, ‘Yes?’
AIA - 2015
Page 4 sur 4
‘Is this the household of Mr Gilbert Joseph?
‘I beg your pardon?’
‘Gilbert Joseph?’ I said, a little slower.
‘Oh, Gilbert. Who are you?’ She pronounced Gilbert so strangely that
for a moment I was anxious that I would be delivered to the wrong
man.
‘Mr Gilbert Joseph is my husband – I am his wife.’
The woman's face looked puzzled and pleased all at one time. She
looked back into the house, lifting her head as she did. Then she
turned back to me and said, ‘Didn't he come to meet you?’
‘I have not seen Gilbert,’ I told her, then went on to ask, ‘but this is
perchance where he is aboding?’
At which this Englishwoman said, ‘What?’ She frowned and looked
over my shoulder at the trunk which was resting by the kerbside
where it had been placed by the driver of the taxi vehicle.
‘Is that yours?’ she enquired.
‘It is.’
‘It's the size of the Isle of Wight. How did you get it here?’ She
laughed a little. A gentle giggle that played round her eyes and
mouth.
I laughed too, so as not to give her the notion that I did not know
what she was talking about as regards this 'white island". I said, ‘I
came in a taxi cab and the driver assured me that this was the right
address. Is this the house of Gilbert Joseph?’
The woman stood for a little while before answering by saying, ‘Hang
on here. I'll see if he's in his room.’ She then shut the door in my
face.

Document 1 :
Forget roads – drones are the future of goods transport New Scientist, 09 September 2013 by Alison George
In rural parts of the world, building a reliable road infrastructure seems
nigh on impossible. Andreas Raptopoulos has another idea: vast networks of drones
5

You think that drones could help get vital supplies to
the one billion people without reliable access to roads?
That's correct. The key concept for us is a network of small drones. Alone, each of those vehicles could cover only a
small segment of the transportation network, but together they can have a big spread.
Why not build roads?
Following the lead of road systems in the West is a nearly
impossible task for the African continent. You're talking about a massive infrastructure investment and a huge
ecological footprint. If you were to deliberately plan out an approach to transportation and logistics in Africa, would you
do it in the same way? I'm convinced that the answer is no. Instead, I think you would use a few different modes of
transportation – and one would be an aerial method like the
drone network we're proposing.
Won't a drone network be expensive too?
For us, the most interesting thing happening with drones is in the super low cost category. The vehicles that you can
buy today for $1000 can do amazing things, and it's just the beginning of this technology. Instead of big machines, like
the ones the military use, we're thinking small.
So you're not thinking about mass transport of crops, but smaller items like medicines?
Initially, it will be for medicine and diagnostics – things that
are lightweight, high value. But over time, as the technology
matures, there's a clear opportunity to move heavier loads. That's the big dream of Matternet – to become a
transportation method that will allow economic growth.

The Editorial: Time for Barack Obama to lead on race relations
The President seems singularly suited to deal with the monumental task of healing racial divides. Can he succeed?
macleans.ca December 11, 2014
Six years into his administration, U.S. President Barack Obama has arrived at the problem he was elected to solve in 2008.
After repeated disappointments in foreign policy, a Congress brought to a standstill by partisan division and an economy
that’s recovering in spite rather than because of him, America now looks to Obama for a solution to its eternal struggle with
race and belonging. It is a monumental task. It is also,
however, a task to which he seems singularly suited. America has suddenly become overwhelmed by cases of African-
American men and boys dying at the hands of white police officers: Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Eric Garner in New

Incarceration rates are six times higher for black men as compared to whites. In New York City, where the population is
one-quarter African-American, two-thirds of all suspects killed by police gunfire—and nearly 80 per cent of all subjects who fire
at police—are black. The protection afforded law-abiding citizens by police also varies significantly by race. According to a recent
lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, black neighbourhoods in Chicago experience police response times
that are double those for white neighbourhoods. (...)

father— Obama seems ideally suited to straddle the difficult racial solitudes of modern America. ―This is not only personal for
me because of who I am,‖ he told the Black Entertainment Television (BET) network this week in an interview. ―But as
President I consider this to be one of the most important issues I face.‖ (...)
