Abounding in secluded, atmospheric parks, artists' studios, cafes, restaurants, and streets little changed since the 1800s, Paris exudes romance. The art and architecture, the cityscape, riverbanks, and the unparalleled quality of daily life are part of the equation. But the city's allure derives equally from hidden sources: querulous inhabitants, a bizarre culture of heroic negativity, and a rich historical past supplying enigmas, pleasures, and challenges.

In the picturesque village of Guzmán, Spain, in a cave dug into a hillside on the edge of town, an ancient door leads to a cramped limestone chamber known as “the telling room”. Containing nothing but a wooden table and two benches, this is where villagers have gathered for centuries to share their stories and secrets - usually accompanied by copious amounts of wine. It was here, in the summer of 2000, that Michael Paterniti found himself listening to a larger-than-life Spanish cheesemaker named Ambrosio Molinos de las Heras as he spun an odd and compelling tale about a piece of cheese.

The best-selling author of Italian Neighbors returns with a wry and revealing portrait of Italian life - by riding its trains.

Vigne circondate da boschi, o dai resti di città perdute, vigne immerse in paesaggi incantevoli, vigne che abbracciano antiche abbazie, si dispiegano alle pendici di un vulcano o a picco sul mare: tanto variegati sono i territori del vino italiani. Seguiamolo allora questo itinerario, da sud a nord, privilegiando i vitigni più antichi, anche millenari, che sono giunti nella penisola lungo le direttrici dei coloni Greci, o frutto di domesticazione da parte degli Etruschi o di popolazioni locali.

The enchanted island of Corfu was home to Gerald Durrell and his family for five years before the Second World War. For the passionate young zoologist, Corfu was a natural paradise, teeming with strange birds and beasts that he could collect watch and care for. But life was not without its problems - Gerald’s family often objected to his animal-collecting activities, especially when the beasts wound up in the family’s villa or even worse - the fridge.

Esiste una Roma che non compare in nessuna guida turistica, una città nella città fatta di inattesi frammenti di magia. Una Roma in cui la parola d'ordine è girovagare, dalla primavera all'inverno, sotto la pioggia e sotto il sole, con il naso all'insú o gli occhi ben piantati, in attesa di quelle scoperte che fermano il tempo e ripuliscono lo sguardo: il capolavoro meno visibile della storia dell'arte, una piazza affollata di poeti come un ascensore, l'elefantino del Bernini «con un obelisco sul groppone», il pavone che passeggia sulla Garbatella.

La Roma dei vagabondaggi di Lodoli non esiste in nessuna guida turistica: è una città di piccole "isole" che fanno capolino in una domenica di pioggia o in un pomeriggio di sole, e che soltanto un occhio spalancato può cogliere. Una piazza che è "un romanzo sociale a cielo aperto"; un prezioso quadro dimenticato in una chiesetta poco frequentata; un bar che la notte diventa un'odissea di solitudini, amori, vite che si incrociano; la statua piú brutta del Rinascimento mondiale, "un delirio di marmo, una figura sghemba, arricciata, indimenticabi.

Mit "Barfuß auf dem Sommerdeich" hat Katja Just viele Leserinnen und Leser für Hallig Hooge, das winzige Eiland mitten im Nordfriesischen Wattenmeer, begeistert.

Klimawandel, Umweltverschmutzung und Strukturveränderungen in Landwirtschaft und Tourismus machen auch vor den Halligen nicht Halt.

When she was suddenly given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, journalist and archetypal Londoner Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: the happiest place on earth isn't Disneyland but Denmark, a land often thought of by foreigners as consisting entirely of long, dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries. What is the secret to their success? Are happy Danes born or made?

Elaine Sciolino came to Paris as a young foreign correspondent and was seduced by a river.

Fed up with questions about what he was going to do when he retired, Edward decided to get on his bicycle and ride from Le Havre to the Mediterranean. He struggled in Normandy to get directions from old men tipsy on Calvados by 9 am, passed by prairies of corn and acres of sunflowers, and hit his stride on the towpath of the Burgundy canal. He explored the mystery of what an ouvrier eats for lunch, and was barred from a swimming pool because his trunks were too decent.
