Innenansichten eines totalen Staats. Die Entfernung zu uns ist nicht nur in Kilometern zu messen. Nordkorea ist ein diktatorisches System, das vor markigen Drohungen an den Rest der Welt und auch vor der Verhaftung von Touristen nicht zurückschreckt. Wenn überhaupt, dann sollte man keineswegs ohne gründliche Vorbereitung dorthin fahren. Doch wenn man sich dafür entscheidet, dann zeigt sich dem Besucher ein verwirrend vielfältiges und oft widersprüchliches Bild.

Martha Franks’ Books Without Borders: Homer, Aeschylus, Galileo, Melville and Madison Go to China is an account, a vivid narrative, of education actually taking place in the classroom day by day, month by month. Ms. Franks steadfastly and unpretentiously brings to her students a form of education directed not at passing standardized tests but at considering timeless questions such as, "What is the best life?" "Does human suffering have any meaning?" "What is justice and how can it be realized?"

Helen and Frank Schreider's dream was to drive the length of the Americas; from the town of Circle, Alaska (just outside the Arctic Circle), to the world's southernmost town, Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego. With their German shepherd Dinah along for the ride, they were the first people in history to have made this trip.

As any traveller knows, the best and most honest conversations take place during car rides. So when journalist Frank Langfitt wanted to learn more about the real China, he started driving a cab - and discovered a country amid seismic political and economic change. The Chinese economic boom, with its impact on the environment, global trade and the tech industry, has been one of the most important stories of the 21st century.

Als Westeuropäer im Westen Chinas unterwegs zu sein ist ein Abenteuer, das nur wenige wagen. Zu aufwendig erscheint es, die nötigen Dokumente zu beschaffen, und zu groß sind oft die Entfernungen. Hinzu kommen die Sprachbarrieren. Der Autor reiste während seines Arbeitsaufenthalts in China in die entlegenen westlichen Provinzen. Auf eigene Faust oder mit einheimischen Reiseveranstaltern erkundete er weithin unbekannte Regionen, er kämpfte mit praktischen Hürden und lernte viel über das Alltagsleben im heutigen Reich der Mitte.

“I had a friend who loved me;” but he has gone, and the “great gulf” is between us. After his death, I received a packet of manuscript with these few words:—“What I have written may appeal to you because of our friendship, and because, when you come to read them, you will seek to grasp, in these apparent confidences, an inner meaning that to the end will elude you. If you think others, not the many but the few, might find here any answer to their unuttered questionings, any fellowship of sympathy in those experiences which are the milestones of our lives, then use the letters as ...

The brilliant author of "The Cruise of the Cachalot" and "Idylls of the Sea" presents in this new work (1899) the continuous story of the actual experiences of his first four years at sea. In graphic and picturesque phrases he has sketched the events of voyages to the West Indies, to Bombay and the Coromandel coast, to Melbourne and Rangoon. Nothing could be of more absorbing interest than this wonderfully vivid account of foks'l humanity and the adventures and strange sights and experiences attendant upon deep-sea voyages. It is easy to see in this book an English companion to our own "Two ...

Frank Conroy first visited Nantucket with a gang of college friends in 1955. They came on a whim, and for Conroy it was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with this "small, relaxed oasis in the ocean." This book, part travel diary, part memoir, is a hauntingly evocative and personal journey through Nantucket: its sweeping dunes, rugged moors, remote beaches, secret fishing spots, and hidden forests and cranberry bogs.

Dass wir manchmal eine lange Leitung haben, trifft nicht nur auf unsere kognitiven Fähigkeiten zu: Hier ist der Name Programm und wir spannen unsere extra-lange Leitung 10.000 km zwischen einer deutschen Großstadt und einer kleinen Forschungsstation mitten im peruanischen Dschungel. Seid dabei, wenn wir uns über unsere jeweiligen Lebenssituationen updaten, die gegensätzlicher kaum sein könnten. Und ganz beiläufig küren wir zudem noch den “Frosch der Woche” oder schalten zu unseren schwäbischen Alter Egos “Gudrun und Gerd”, um zu beschnattern, ob es schon wieder die Schneiders...
