Juin-juillet-août 2023. Traverser pendant trois mois le Grand Désert Victoria et le désert de Gibson dans l’Outback australien : voici le nouveau défi de Sarah Marquis, qui nous emmène dans un monde où il faut savoir décrypter les signes que nous envoie la nature et qui entre en résonance avec notre propre histoire. Qualifiée de " folie " par les locaux, au vu de l’isolement, du manque d’eau et de nourriture des territoires qu’elle va parcourir, cette nouvelle expédition à laquelle l’exploratrice s’était minutieusement préparée prend un tout autre tournant lorsque peu de temps avant son départ sa mère décède subitement.

In prose as crystalline as his view to the Pyrenees on a clear day, Allman animates Lauzerte and its surrounding communities—Cahors, Moissac, Montauban—all ever in thrall to the magnetic impulse of Paris. Witness to so many dramas over the centuries, his house comes alive as a historical protagonist in its own right, from its wine-cellar cave to the roof where he wages futile battle with pigeons, to the life lessons it conveys. “The onward march of history, my House keeps demonstrating, never takes a rest,” he observes, pulling us vividly into his world.

Britain's landscape is scarred with haunting and romantic remains; these shadowlands that were once filled with life are now just spectral echoes. Peering through the cracks of history, we find Dunwich, a medieval city plunged off a Suffolk cliff by sea storms; the lost city of Trellech unearthed by moles in the Welsh Marches; and the ghostly reservoir that is Capel Celyn, one of the few remaining solely Welsh-speaking villages, drowned by Liverpool City Council.

Ohne Vorwarnung kam die Flut über das Ahrtal. In der Nacht vom 14. auf den 15. Juli 2021 brach eine Katastrophe über die beschauliche Weinregion herein.

Feinsinnig und mit einer Prise Humor, insbesondere aber von einem klaren Willen geprägt: weitermachen.

Maugham spent the winter months of 1919 travelling 1500 miles up the Yangtze river. Always more interested in people than places, he noted down acute and finely crafted sketches of those he met on countless scraps of paper. In the resulting collection we encounter Western missionaries, army officers and company managers who are culturally out of their depth in the immensity of the Chinese civilisation.

It took them seven months to complete the journey.
