After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson, the acclaimed author of such best sellers as The Mother Tongue and Made in America, decided it was time to move back to the United States for a while. This was partly to let his wife and kids experience life in Bryson's homeland, and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him.

Barcellona è piena di luoghi affascinanti, colorati, popolari, tutti ben radicati nella storia e nella cultura della Catalogna. Uno dei principali fautori di questo fascino è senza dubbio lo stile eclettico e rivoluzionario dell'architetto simbolo di Barcellona, Antoni Gaudì. Con monumenti come la Sagrada Familia e Park Güell, Gaudì diede prova di avere una grande creatività e altrettanta abilità nel creare luoghi unici e magici.

Herodotus, the fifth-century chronicler, scarcely figured in the curriculum when famed Polish writer and traveler Ryszard Kapuscinski attended university in the 1950s. Ryszard became a foreign correspondent who hoped to go abroad, perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India—the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world. His only companion on his travels was a volume of Herodotus. In his journey across continents, Kapuscinski discovers his life's work: to understand and describe the non-Western world, in all its variety, through his still-virginal Western eyes.

Lose Seiten eines Märchens, genannt "Die Perlenkarawane": Seit einer Berliner Winternacht vor über dreißig Jahren ist Helge Timmerberg davon fasziniert - und von seiner Erfinderin, Elsa Sophia von Kamphoevener. Als Mann verkleidet hatte sie an türkischen Lagerfeuern die besten Erzählungen gesammelt. Mit großer Wucht und Sinn für Komik schildert Timmerberg, wie die Geschichte der Märchenbaronin ihm immer wieder Türen, Herzen und Geldbörsen öffnete.

En este nuevo relato viajero, el escritor Javier Reverte ha seguido un camino que nos lleva a las ciudades de Venecia y Trieste y que concluye con un recorrido por la isla de Sicilia. Y no sólo nos aproxima a la historia de los lugares que visita, sino que lo hace de la mano de cuatro escritores que habitaron en esos escenarios y que escribieron sobre ellos: Thomas Mann, James Joyce, Rainer Maria Rilke y Giuseppe de Lampedusa, cuatro autores geniales que retrataron con crudeza, o con humor desgarrado, o amargura, o ensoñación, o nostalgia, una época trágica y luminosa de la peripecia humana.

Here is William Dalrymple's highly praised and greatly entertaining account of his 1986 trip made while a student at Cambridge, which retraced Marco Polo's route across land from Jerusalem to Xanadu. With him, he took a phial of Holy Oil, 600 pounds and Laura until Lahore, and Louisa from there to Xanadu.

Goethe was probably the greatest universal genius who ever lived. Although known primarily as a poet, playright, and novelist, he was also known for his work in anatomy, botany, color, art criticism, and jurisprudence. Many people are deterred from attempting to read anything by Goethe because of his extremely penetrating intelligence and dense prose. But his travel diary, Italian Journey, is by far easier to digest than anything else by him.

However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan, and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other.
