Ergebnis für "Nick" in Biografien & Erinnerungen

Ein Jahrzehnt des Weltreisens hat aus Nick einen neuen Menschen gemacht: aufgeschlossen, abenteuerhungrig, aber auch nachdenklich. Und wer von ihm wissen will, ob seine Reisen wirklich immer geil waren, bekommt die ehrliche Antwort: "Nope." Ob auf selbst gebastelten Krücken, während einer nächtlichen Schießerei oder ausgeraubt bis aufs letzte Hemd - Nick hat mehr als einmal erlebt, dass Fehltritte und Grenzerfahrungen zum Reisealltag dazugehören.

Ein spektakuläres Abenteurerleben. Warum heißt es: "Wo sehen Sie sich in zehn Jahren?" Warum heißt es nicht: "Wo sehen Sie sich genau jetzt?" In seinem kaufmännischen Bürojob läuft Nick sein Leben davon. Nach einem Winterurlaub in Neuseeland beschließt er einen Cut: Er lässt Job und Sicherheiten, Freunde und Alltag zurück und geht auf Weltreise. Aus einem Jahr werden bald sechs Jahre, und aus dem jungen Mann aus der fränkischen Provinz wird ein anderer Mensch. Auf seinen Reisen durch über 70 Länder lernt er mehr fürs Leben als in jeder noch so steilen Karriere.

In 1968 Nick Drake had everything to live for. The product of a loving, creative family and a privileged background, he was not only a handsome and popular Cambridge undergraduate, but also a new signing to the UK's hippest record label, Island. Three years later, however - having made three well-reviewed but low-selling albums - Nick had been overwhelmed by a mysterious mental illness. He returned to live in his family home in rural Warwickshire in 1971, and died in obscurity in 1974, aged just 26.

Nick has been fantastically involved throughout the production of this download, so that it has become something far more than simply an author reading his work.
