Brothers Charles and Carl have been working for Journey Beyond for nearly two years. Charles was already working on train when he saw that Journey Beyond was looking for Hospitality Attendants and thought his brother would be the perfect fit! Not long after, Carl went on his first journey and Charles asked his Journey Manager Tom if Carl could be “adopted” into their crew. As to be expected, people always got the two of them mixed up! Guests would call Charles ‘Carl’ and Carl ‘Charles.’ On Carl’s sixth journey the two brothers were placed in the same section on train, this was very confusing for guests – asking one brother for something, and then having the other have no idea what they were talking about. However, the two of them played into this a little bit and would sometimes swap name badges and get everyone confused, even the other crew members! We’d love to hear if you’ve had the opportunity to travel on board with Charles & Carl. #AustraliabyTrain #JourneyBeyondRail #TheGhan #TheGhanExpedition #IndianPacific #GreatSouthern #HospitalityAttendant

Travels with Tocqueville Beyond America Hardcover – March 21, 2023

Purchase options and add-ons.

A revelatory intellectual biography of Tocqueville, told through his wide-ranging travels―most of them, aside from his journey to America, barely known. It might be the most famous journey in the history of political thought: in 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville sailed from France to the United States, spent nine months touring and observing the political culture of the fledgling republic, and produced the classic Democracy in America . But the United States was just one of the many places documented by the inveterate traveler. Jeremy Jennings follows Tocqueville’s voyages―by sailing ship, stagecoach, horseback, train, and foot―across Europe, North Africa, and of course North America. Along the way, Jennings reveals underappreciated aspects of Tocqueville’s character and sheds new light on the depth and range of his political and cultural commentary. Despite recurrent ill health and ever-growing political responsibilities, Tocqueville never stopped moving or learning. He wanted to understand what made political communities tick, what elite and popular mores they rested on, and how they were adjusting to rapid social and economic change―the rise of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, to be sure, but also the expansion of empire and the emergence of socialism. He lauded the orderly, Catholic-dominated society of Quebec; presciently diagnosed the boisterous but dangerously chauvinistic politics of Germany; considered England the freest and most unequal place on Earth; deplored the poverty he saw in Ireland; and championed French colonial settlement in Algeria. Drawing on correspondence, published writings, speeches, and the recollections of contemporaries, Travels with Tocqueville Beyond America is a panoramic combination of biography, history, and political theory that fully reflects the complex, restless mind at its center.
