Arabian Sands is Wilfred Thesiger’s stunning account of five years spent crossing the Arabian Peninsula by foot and on camels, with nomadic Bedouin tribesmen as guides.

He was the first European ever to set eyes on the dunes and wadis of these deserts.

At age 22, Charlie Walker left home in search of adventure. Fleeing the boredom that comes with comfort, he set off on a secondhand bicycle. The aim was simple: to pedal to the furthest point in each of Europe, Asia, and Africa. He didn’t train or plan. He just started. The journey was an escape from an unremarkable existence, a pursuit of hardship, and a chance to shed the complacency of middle England. From the brutality of winter on the Tibetan plateau, to the claustrophobia of the Southeast Asian jungle, the quest provided Charlie with ample opportunity to test his mettle.

Monk's Medicine is a quest for that hidden knowledge - a pilgrimage to 10 monasteries round the world, from a Coptic desert community in Egypt to a retreat in the Japanese mountains.

Es sollte ein netter Familienurlaub werden. Die Schriftstellerin George Sand wollte ihrem rheumakranken Sohn den nasskalten Winter in Paris ersparen. Mit von der Partie war Komponist Frédéric Chopin, doch der "Winter auf Mallorca" war für das Liebespaar nicht so erholsam wie erwartet. In Palma de Mallorca existiert nicht ein einziges Hotel, es regnet in Strömen und einen Kamin zum Heizen gibt es nicht. Schließlich fliehen die Urlauber in die Berge zur Karthause von Valldemosa. Immerhin wird Chopin hier am mitgebrachten Klavier seine weltberühmten Präludien abschließen.
