In 2001, martial arts-trained biker Glen Heggstad began a journey from California to the tip of South America on his motorcycle and made it as far as Colombia, where he was kidnapped by local rebels and held captive. Undeterred by more than a month of traumatic incarceration, the 'Striking Viking' finished his trip after being released. Three years later he set out into the world on his bike again, this time searching for truth on his own terms in a world that had become strangled by a climate of fear.

John’s trip to India starts badly when he finds himself looking at the sharp end of a knife in a train station cubicle. His life is saved by the enigmatic Rick, who persuades John to abandon his mundane plans for the future for much, much more. Fast forward to the Thai island of Koh Pha-Ngan where they pose as millionaire aristocrats in a hedonistic Eden of beautiful girls, free drugs and wild beach parties. Soon pursued by Thai Mafia, they escape to Indonesia, Australia, and Hong Kong, facing danger at every turn.

Bewitched by Indonesia for twenty-five years, Elizabeth Pisani recently traveled 26,000 miles around the archipelago in search of the links that bind this impossibly disparate nation. Fearless and funny, Pisani shares her deck space with pigs and cows, bunks down in a sulfurous volcano, and takes tea with a corpse. Along the way, she observes Big Men with child brides, debates corruption and cannibalism, and ponders "sticky" traditions that cannot be erased.

The Rio Grande is simultaneously one of the most watched and least understood rivers in the world. Some stretches of the Rio pass for endless miles through remote wilderness, boxed in by canyons hundreds of feet high and inhabited by only the hardiest animals and humans. That's why journalist Keith Bowden decided to become the first person to travel the entire length of the Rio as it forms the border between America and Mexico.

Fuelled by a degree of mid-life crisis and the need to escape, albeit temporarily, the dull routine of modern life, David and Rob set out to walk from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, taking in French villages, beautiful scenery, and one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in Europe. Just about perfect – if you can put aside the inevitable conflict, drama, and unexpected tedium that results from two men spending over seven solid weeks in each other’s company!

Peter Fleming, brother of James Bond author Ian Fleming, was one of the greatest adventurers and travel writers of the 20th century and author of several classic and best-selling books. This is the first paperback edition. It presents an exciting adventure that could never be made today - it will appeal to all interested in the region.

Schottland ist nicht England. Diese ebenso banale wie folgenschwere Erkenntnis, so empfiehlt Heinz Ohff, sollte am Anfang einer Reise ins Land der "Scots" stehen. Jenseits von Kilts, Dudelsack und Loch Ness haben die Kelten und eine stürmische Geschichte ihre unübersehbaren Spuren hinterlassen: in einer eigenen Sprache, einer eigenen Kultur, einer eigenen Rechtsprechung und einer eigenen Kirche. Dass Schottland auch ein eigenes Wetter hat, erfährt der Reisende am eigenen Leib.

Was ist das für ein Land, in dem so unaussprechliche Namen wie Llywyngwril auf den Ortsschildern stehen? Wo Kekse gereicht werden, die jedes Gebiss bedrohen? Von den Kalkfelsen Dovers bis ins raue schottische Thurso erkundet Bryson die eigentümliche Welt jenseits des Ärmelkanals und kommt zu dem Schluss: England muss man einfach lieben, ganz gleich, wie wunderlich es einem zuweilen erscheinen mag.

Americans have long been fascinated with the oddness of the British, but the English, says literary critic Terry Eagleton, find their transatlantic neighbors just as strange. Only an alien race would admiringly refer to a colleague as "aggressive," use superlatives to describe everything from one's pet dog to one's rock collection, or speak frequently of being "empowered."

The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to travel halfway around the world and arrive in perfect condition for a cold drink on an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with 'IPA' on the label they are a pale imitation of the original. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal and tall ship, and the man carrying it is Pete Brown, Britain's best beer writer.

Eighteen years ago, Joe Bennett left England for a holiday. Now he’s come back. But how is the England of his memory different from the England of the motorway? Identikit high streets, New Labour, chicken tikka - things aren’t what they used to be. But the longer Joe travels, the more he wonders whether things were ever what they used to be. Even a century ago, H. V. Morton, the nation’s most celebrated eulogiser, was In Search of England.

Die Welt neu hören: Warum verbringt man acht Jahre damit, ein Foto von einer Antilope zu schießen? Wie kommt es dazu, dass ein gesamtes Dorf im Himalaya umziehen muss und was macht das mit den Bewohnern? Wodurch wird das Geldwesen in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo revolutioniert?

Mettersi in cammino vuol dire scegliere un'altra vita. Una vita semplice, in cui ogni incontro è una porta, ogni volto un viaggio, ogni sentiero una via per esplorare se stessi e il mondo. Farsi nomadi per essere liberi. Un libro prezioso che ci esorta a incamminarci, ciascuno con il proprio passo, verso il nostro destino. "Ci sono estati chiuse come scatole, sigillate. Sono estati che trascorri in una stanza, in ufficio, o su un letto d'ospedale, in una cella, in uno spazio delimitato da pareti che ti sono ostili.

Un’omelette alle erbe e una limonata al Café Orquidea in compagnia di Pereira. Una feijoada insieme al Guardiano del Cemitério dos Prazeres. Una sosta al Café Brasileira sulle orme di Pessoa e degli intellettuali portoghesi. A Lisbona con Antonio Tabucchi non è solo una guida ma un’esplorazione urbana, culturale e umana. La città è geografia, architettura, spazio urbano e memoriale, entro i cui confini si sono consumati eventi privati e pubblici, esistenziali, storici e politici. Ecco allora che l’acqua dolce del Tago, con il suo scorrere placido, diviene letteratura.

A Virginia Woolf i medici raccomandarono senza mezzi termini di stare lontana da Londra. Troppo sensibile la scrittrice, troppo animata la città: due elementi che, combinati, non potevano che gravare su un'anima già infragilita da lutti e dolori.

Questa non vuol essere una guida ma un viaggio tra passato e futuro: una personalissima mappatura di ciò che (ancora per poco) sopravvive dell'Avana più letteraria: le strade, le piazze, gli edifici, raccontati e vissuti nel corso del tempo da Alejo Carpentier, Pedro Juan Gutiérrez, Virgilio Piñera, Miguel Barnet, solo per citare alcuni nomi fondamentali della narrativa cubana del Novecento.

Lunga nuvola bianca non è una guida turistica, per questo esiste già la Lonely Planet. Non è la storia di un uomo in carriera che ha mollato tutto per girare il mondo. Non parla di un viaggio in Asia senza soldi e senza prendere aerei. Non è nemmeno una guida pratica atta a muovere i primi passi lontani da casa. È la Nuova Zelanda raccontata attraverso gli occhi di un viaggiatore, ritrovatosi lontano da casa durante la pandemia.

In questo audiolibro Brilli racconta la storia e la fenomenologia del viaggio in Italia dalle origini al sorgere del turismo organizzato, attingendo a una messe pressoché infinita di episodi e osservazioni: come nel concreto si svolgeva il viaggio in Italia, quali i luoghi visitati, quali le aspettative e le reazioni dei "turisti". Ne viene una narrazione di grande piacevolezza, intessuta di notizie curiose e anche divertenti, dove l'erudizione si scioglie in uno stile elegante e privo di pedanterie.

If you want to find an answer, where would you go? Google? Or maybe Quora? What if you were told that you could go on a life-changing journey to find the answers to some of the most important questions in life? Best-selling author Stuti Changle travels to 10 unique destinations across India and stumbles upon the answers to these questions that focus on finding purpose, health, work and relationships in life. Embark on this unique journey with Stuti in this audiobook. But while on this journey, you’d have to leave behind your phones and social media as she did to find the joy in missing out.

L’immensità è un concetto familiare per chi nasce in Amazzonia, dove lo spazio sembra non avere confini. Un’inesauribile varietà di ambienti, la più alta concentrazione di forme di vita sul pianeta, corsi d’acqua così vasti da non scorgerne la sponda opposta. Emanuela Evangelista, biologa e attivista, vive da oltre dieci anni nel cuore della foresta amazzonica e precisamente nel villaggio di Xixuaú, una manciata di palafitte ignorate dalle mappe ufficiali, come la maggioranza degli insediamenti umani situati nelle zone più remote.
