Wolfgangsee er beliggende i det naturskønne Salzkammergut i hjertet af Østrig. Langs den smaragdgrønne sø finder man byerne Sankt Wolfgang, Strobl og Sankt Gilgen. Fra Wolfgangsee er der ikke langt til kejserbyen Bad Ischl, som i mange år var stedet, hvor kejser Franz Joseph og kejserinde Sisi opholdte sig i sommermånederne. Selvom Bad Ischl ikke har direkte adgang til Wolfgangsee, så er denne by også kommet med i denne bog. Wolfgangsee indbyder til aktiv ferie, men hvis man er mere til ro og fred, er dette også muligt. Wolfgangsee gemmer på mange historier, og det gør denne bog også. Hvad har eksempelvis operetten 'Im Weißen Rößl am Wolfgangsee' til fælles med den danske film 'Sommer i Tyrol'? Ja, det må man læse denne bog for at finde ud af. 'Wolfgangsee - et stykke af paradis' er Rejseskribentens fjerde rejsebog. Rejseskribenten er tidligere rejseleder, der har en passion for fotografi og gode, gerne ukendte, historier, der fortælles med et glimt i øjet. Rejseskribenten elsker at rejse, primært, i Tyskland og Østrig.

Sommerhus under sydlige himmelstrøg - hvem kender ikke drømmen om vin- og lavendelmarker, smukke landskaber og udsøgt middelhavsmad? Med base i et lille byhus i Gard fortæller bogen ”Det ukendte Sydfrankrig” om de mennesker, den historie og den natur, som er det autentiske grundlag for oplevelse af landet og dets kulturelle rigdomme. Forfatterne har boet en del af året i Sydfrankrig i mange år og har skabt et omfattende netværk på mange hundrede personer, som har inviteret dem indenfor. Det er blevet til besøg hos bønder, som lever af vindyrkning, produktion af olivenolie og gedeoste. Læserne bliver taget med på vildsvinejagt med de lokale jægere, til en samtale med den fornemme hertug af Uzès, som er en af de fremmeste adelspersoner i landet, og til de særlige, sydfranske tyrelege i landsbyen. Bogen indbyder til store natur- og kulturoplevelser. En cykeltur på Viarhôna, en vandretur mellem får og ulve på den mytiske middelalderhærvej, la Régordane, og en togrejse med banen Le Cévenole igennem de smukke Cevenner-bjerge. Turen går også til departementet Ariège, hvor efterkommere til de bjørnetrækkere, som i forrige århundrede fremviste deres dresserede bjørne over hele verden, fortæller om deres taburamte forfædre. Områdets historie starter med en grotte med formentlig Frankrigs ældste hulemalerier – cirka 37.000 år gamle – der forestiller en mammut og et kattedyr. Den nyere franske historie fortælles igennem samtaler med de såkaldte Pied-Noirs, der måtte forlade Algeriet efter afslutningen af den blodige borgerkrig i 1962. Men Sydfrankrig er andet og mere end smuk natur og store oplevelser. De Gule Vestes revolte i 2018 trak pludselig gardinet fra til en anden og mere barsk virkelighed: nemlig at tusindvis af franskmænd lever et liv, som er præget af relativ fattigdom og afmagtsfølelse. Man får i den grad lyst til at følge i forfatternes sydfranske fodspor og opleve en bid af det smukkeste land på jorden. Karin Mørch, Dansk-fransk journalist. Dækker Frankrig for DR Nyheder.

"I travel, therefore I am - apologies to Descartes for twisting his noble thought." That's how M. P. Prabhakaran explains his passion for travel in the "Preface" to this book. If academic qualifications are a measure of one's learning experience, he has a string of them, he says. But they are no match for what he has learned from his travels around the world, he adds. He shares with the readers what he learned through the pages of this book.He introduces them to the geopolitical, historical and cultural landscapes of various countries stretching from Argentina to China. He narrates in one English prose the scenic beauty of some of the places he visited and personal stories of some of the people he met. In the course of interacting with those people, he also projects among them the real image of India - the image of a country which, in spite of being multi-religious, multiethnic and multicultural, has remained intact as a single political entity and become the most vibrant democracy in the world. The book is a page turner.

The state of Missouri played a unique role in World War I-as the birthplace of Gen. John J. Pershing, the commanding officer of the American Expeditionary Forces, and Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder, the primary author of the military draft-and it is an impressive legacy featuring a colorful cast of characters, events, and communities. Missouri was home to two flying aces of the war as well as Bennett Champ Clark, the youngest colonel in the American Expeditionary Forces and the first national commander of the American Legion. During the war, the state was home to farms and ranches that provided an army of mules that assisted Allied forces in hauling critical materials and equipment in the harshest of conditions. Additionally, 156,000 of the state's citizens served in the military with approximately 10,000 wounded or killed in action.

Experience the history of an ancient family which, in the 21st century, is related to every royal family in Europe and to princes all over the world, and of whom the world can rightly say: "The House of Saxe-Gotha - Princely Crown of Europe".
