Der Schwäbische Alb Radweg entführt Sie in eine faszinierende Kulturlandschaft und ein geologisches Wunderland. Zudem umweht die Schwäbische Alb als Fundstätte der ältesten Kunstwerke und Musikinstrumente der Menschheit seit jeher etwas Mythisches und Geheimnisvolles. Gespeist wird dieses Flair auch aus dem Gegensatz zwischen dicht besiedeltem Albvorland und der relativ einsamen Albhochfläche. Der markante Steilabfall des Albtraufs, der bereits von Eduard Mörike im 19. Jahrhundert als "Blaue Mauer" literarisch verewigt wurde, trennt diese beiden so unterschiedlichen Landschaften.Im munteren Wechsel verläuft die Route mal auf der Hochfläche mit ihren typischen Wacholderheiden, mal am Fuß des Albtraufs durch üppige Streuobstwiesen und erschließt dabei in der eindrucksvollen Karstlandschaft zahlreiche geologische Phänomene wie Meteoritenkrater, Vulkanrelikte sowie Fossilienfundstätten. Obendrein laden immer wieder hübsche Fachwerkstädtchen, Stauferburgen, prächtige Schlossanlagen, sakrale Bauten von Weltrang und nicht zuletzt auch die gemütlichen Gasthäuser zum Verweilen ein.

*Premio Ortega y Gasset de Periodismo a la Trayectoria profesional 2023* 40 años de periodismo narrativo condensados en una obra magistral; Lacrónica reafirma a Caparrós como una de las voces imprescindibles de la literatura en nuestro idioma. «El mejor cronista actual de América Latina: un soberbio entrevistador, un viajero dotado de cultura enciclopédica y de una fina ironía.»—Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia  Lacrónica sería un «grandes éxitos» de Caparrós, una compilación de sus mejores crónicas, si no fuera porque allí, además, el autor cuenta su historia en el periodismo y reflexiona sobre cómo escribe lo que escribe, cómo piensa lo que piensa, cómo se hace lo que hace. Entre recuerdos de su primer jefe, Rodolfo Walsh, y de su último maestro, Tomás Eloy Martínez, Caparrós da una lección de escritura de la no ficción que las facultades de periodismo de España y América Latina ahora emplean para enseñar esta materia. Todo lo que usted siempre -o nunca- quiso saber sobre Lacrónica, ese extraño género del periodismo que empezó a poner por escrito el continente americano y tiene el don de permitirse la duda, brilla en esta obra que, casi sin querer, se volvió ineludible.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONOrtega y Gasset Journalism Lifetime Achievement Award 2023. Forty years of narrative journalism condensed in a masterpiece. Thechronicle reaffirms Caparrós as one of the key voices in literature in the Spanish language. “The best chronicler in Latin America today, a superb interviewer, a traveler gifted with encyclopedic knowledge and a smooth irony.” —Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia Thechronicle would be a “greatest hits” by Caparrós, a compilation of his best chronicles, if it were not for the fact that the author tells his own story in journalism and reflects on how he writes what he writes, how he thinks what he thinks, how to do what he does. Among memories of his first boss, Rodolfo Walsh, and his last teacher, Tomás Eloy Martínez, Caparrós gives a non-fiction writing lesson that every school of journalism in Spain and Latin America now uses to teach the subject.   Everything you always—or never—wanted to know about Thechronicle, that strange genre in journalism that began putting the American continent down on paper and has the gift of affording doubt, shines in this work which, almost unwillingly, became inescapable.

A beautiful photographic stroll around the bookshops, restaurants, literary locations and authors' neighbourhoods in the Big Apple.

Das schöne Tirol ist der Startpunkt des Lech-Radweges, der bis zu seinem Übertritt nach Deutschland ganz auf Tuchfühlung mit dem Lech geht. Die Fahrt führt durch eine der letzten wilden Flusslandschaften in Europa, durch die sich der gletscherblaue Fluss mit seinen malerischen weißen Kiesbänken und flankiert von hohen Bergen, seinen Weg bahnt. Das Naturschauspiel Lechfall markiert den Übergang nach Bayern, das die Reisenden mit seiner Bilderbuchlandschaft aus hügeliger Voralpengegend mit grünen Weiden, den prachtvollen Königsschlössern und blitzblauen Seen empfängt. Das lebensfrohe Füssen läutet dann den Reigen sehenswerter, historischer Städte ein, der sich nordwärts mit dem mittelalterlichen Landsberg am Lech und der Fuggerstadt Augsburg fortsetzt. Auf der Höhe des schmucken Städtchens Donauwörth mündet der Lech schlussendlich in die Donau und der Lech-Radweg in den Donauradweg.

***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick***'A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman'Ince's love of books is infectious.' 'Books of the Year', IndependentWhy play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12? In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic. Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate.Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them. It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme.

Für Kunstliebhaber und Geschichtsinteressierte ist die Region im Norden Bayerns dank ihrer Fülle an herausragenden Sehenswürdigkeiten ein kleines Juwel. Allein die von der Bau- und Handwerkskunst vieler Jahrhunderte geprägten Städte wie Nürnberg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Coburg, Würzburg oder Rothenburg rechtfertigen einen Besuch. Eingebettet sind sie in eine abwechslungsreiche Landschaft mit hohem Erholungswert - allen voran der Steigerwald, die Fränkische Schweiz, die Frankenhöhe, die Rhön oder das Fichtelgebirge. Orientierung vor Ort vermitteln Stadtpläne und Grundrisse, so z. B. von der Nürnberger Burg oder vom Felsengarten "Sanspareil" der Markgräfin Wilhelmine von Bayreuth. Auch zu den zahlreichen Museen der Region finden sich im Buch praktische Angaben. Neben Kunst und Natur kommt in Franken auch der Genuss nicht zu kurz: Ein Extra-Kapitel ist der fränkischen Küche, dem Frankenwein und natürlich auch dem fränkischen Bier gewidmet. Jeweils am Ende eines Reiseroutenkapitels legen die Autoren dem Leser ihre persönlichen Empfehlungen ans Herz: stilvolle Unterkünfte und Restaurants mit Charme, in denen der Gast mit persönlichem Service und landestypischen Spezialitäten verwöhnt wird. Darüber wurde nicht vergessen, auf die lebendige Theaterszene, musikalische Events und attraktive Urlaubsaktivitäten hinzuweisen, die das Reisen in Franken abrunden. Dem Würzburger Werner Dettelbacher verdankt die Region eine große Anzahl von Werken über seine Heimatstadt und Franken. Die in Bamberg geborenen Autoren Stefan Fröhling und Andreas Reuß, die die gründliche Aktualisierung und Erweiterung übernommen haben, schreiben Beiträge für Rundfunk und Zeitungen und haben bereits mehrere Kultur- und Reiseführer veröffentlicht.

Signe finds herself sitting on a bed at a Russian hospital in Vladivostok with no clue as to how she got there. She has an Italian passaport, but she doesn't speak Italian; she has hundreds of thousands of Russian rubles, but she doesn't know how they ended up in her bag; she has a phone, but all its memory has been erased-except for an app note with an address in Saint Petersburg. As if that wasn't enough, all she can remember is being witness to a murder. Having no one she can trust, she decides to pretend everything is alright and heads to Saint Petersburg on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Naturally, she wants to know who she is; she's wants answers. However, during her journey she will meet all kinds of extraordinary people who will show her who she really is.From the author of "The White Shoes", "Signe" was written for those who see travel as an opportunity to escape the mundane, to see the world with different eyes, to be inspired by the path taken by those who don't fear dreams, who don't fear adventure, who don't fear trying something new.
