Ergebnis für "The Islanders" in Europa

Trolle und Elfen, heiße Quellen und Vulkane, die ganz Europa lahmlegen: Der halb deutsche, halb isländische Schriftsteller Kristof Magnusson zeigt uns das sagenhafte Island wie das alltägliche - das jüngste Land der Erde, das vom Erdbeben bis zur Finanzkrise keinen Unfug auslässt. Er kennt das Sterben der Fischerdörfer und die Landflucht, nimmt uns mit in Nationalparks und zu Sommerfestivals, bei denen die Isländer in Scharen zelten.

Das Klischee von Island als Insel der Mythen und Sagen, als Heimat eigenwilliger Bewohner, als Schauplatz atemberaubender Naturschauspiele und als Bühne einmaliger Landschaften hat jeder im Hinterkopf, der sich auch nur mit der Möglichkeit einer Reise dorthin befasst.

Alle Annahmen, die man lächelnd als abgeklärter und vielgereister Mitteleuropäer in den geistigen Papierkorb gepackt hatte, scheinen zuzutreffen.

Although small enough to be an island, Sicily is also large enough to be a continent and has at least two souls: a Western and an Eastern one. These two souls of Sicily are ancient, when the island was inhabited by the Elymians and the Sikani. This ancient "rivalry" continued with Phoenicians and Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians. A trip to Sicily, therefore, is not only a journey through the history, culture, gastronomy, and flavors of a rich and generous land, but it is also a profound journey into the human soul and into the history!
