Eine wahre Geschichte über Mut und Hoffnung. Die Fortsetzung zum SPIEGEL-Bestseller "Der Salzpfad"! Das Leben entwickelt sich selten so, wie wir es planen.

Nach dieser Wanderung haben sich die beiden in einer kleinen Stadt an der englischen Küste niedergelassen und versuchen, sich wieder an das Leben mit einem Dach über dem Kopf zu gewöhnen.

Am 23. November 2011 sticht die damals 34-jährige Janice Jakait in Portugal in See. Als erste Deutsche wird sie allein den Atlantik überqueren - allein und nur mit Muskelkraft. "Row for silence" nennt sie ihre Aktion, mit der sie auf den Unterwasserlärm aufmerksam machen will, der für Meeressäuger und Fische tödliche Folgen hat. Aber sie will auch ihre innere Unruhe besiegen, sich selbst in der Stille begegnen. 90 Tage, 6500 Kilometer und eine Million Ruderschläge lang behauptet sie sich gegen die Gewalten, gegen Hunger und Müdigkeit - und ist schließlich nicht nur in Barbados, sondern auch bei sich selbst angekommen.

A reportage from the turbulent, chaotic birth of the free Angola; the author calls it his “first real book”. Ryszard Kapuściński arrives to a country divided by two armies. For some time he's the only foreign correspondent there. Among the unbelievable chaos, he meets more and more people whose fates become the illustration of the cruelty of war. This book is a unique combination of war reportage with literary artistry - so characteristic of Ryszard Kapuściński.

John Gierach demonstrates once again that fishing, when done right, is as much a philosophical pursuit as a sport. Gierach travels to Wyoming and Maine and points in between, searching out new fly-fishing adventures and savoring familiar waters with old friends. Along the way he meditates on the importance of good guides, the challenge of salmon fishing, and the zen of fishing alone. On a more serious note, he ponders the damaging effects of disasters both natural and man-made.

Wheeler is Britain's foremost woman travel writer. Glowing Still is the story of her travelling life - what is 'important, revealing or funny' - in a notoriously testosterone-laden field. Growing up among blue-collar Conservatives in Bristol where 'we didn't know anyone who wasn't like us', Wheeler knew she needed to get away. In her twenties she began a dramatic escape: Pole to Pole, via Poland. Glowing Still recalls happy days on India's Puri Express; an Antarctic lavatory through which a seal popped up (hot fishy breath!); and the louche life of a Parisian shopgirl.

Emmanuel Iduma never met his uncle, his father’s favourite brother and the man for whom he is named. The elder Emmanuel left home in 1967 to fight in the Biafran War and was not seen again. The war lasted for three years, with young Igbo men volunteering to fight for a breakaway republic in the chaotic wake of British decolonization. Around one hundred thousand others who fought in the war share a fate like Emmanuel’s uncle, though there are no official records of these losses. The tensions that gave rise to the conflict remain live, threatening sometimes to bubble over.

There are times when sitting on the couch in front of the TV seems infinitely preferable to rolling the motorbike out of the garage for a ride or putting the boots on to go for a hike, yet it’s rare that one regrets the effort. In this collection of motorcycling road trips, garage misadventures, bike reviews, and reminiscences, I try to convey my joy of riding, even when things don’t always work out perfectly. Life is short. The time is now. Do it while you still can.

A narrowboat-based audio journal on canal life, living aboard, the elements, and the night. Perfect late-night listening for dreamers, insomniacs, night owls, nocturnalists, drifters, and nomads. For lovers Fagen's 'Nightfly', Auden's 'Night Mail', Hopper's 'Nighthawks' and the 'drifting sea-dark streets' of Dylan Thomas. For all those who used to listen to the transistor under your pillow, love the sound of distant trains and rain against the windowpanes, canals and drover's tracks, lost music, splashed puddles, fireflies and bats, hares by moonlight, windsong among pines, owl-light, the ...
