Über diesen Titel
For centuries the Alps have seen the march of armies, the flow of pilgrims and Crusaders, the feats of mountaineers, and the dreams of engineers - and some 14 million people live among their peaks today. In The Alps, Stephen O'Shea takes listeners up and down these majestic mountains, journeying through their 500-mile arc across France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia. Along the way he explores the reality behind Hannibal and his elephants' famous crossing in 218 BCE; he reveals how the Alps have profoundly influenced culture, from Frankenstein to Heidi to The Sound of Music; and he visits the spot where Arthur Conan Doyle staged Sherlock Holmes' death scene, the bloody site of the Italians' retreat in World War I, and Hitler's notorious vacation house, the Eagle's Nest. Throughout, O'Shea records his adventures with the watchmakers, salt miners, cable-car operators, and yodelers who define the Alps today.

I was not able to finish this book because of authors 'macho' style (bragging about his car he is driving through the Alps) and constant 'making jokes' of the Dutch, but in a very racist way (I am not Dutch, but I cannot stand these kind of jokes related to your nationality). I am surprised that these kind of books are still published today. And I am outraged. Who can listen to the author with this - I will not be afraid to say this even if it sounds hard - primitive attitudes?Würden Sie sich wieder etwas von Stephen O'Shea anhören?
