Die Welt neu hören: Warum verbringt man acht Jahre damit, ein Foto von einer Antilope zu schießen? Wie kommt es dazu, dass ein gesamtes Dorf im Himalaya umziehen muss und was macht das mit den Bewohnern? Wodurch wird das Geldwesen in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo revolutioniert?

Was ist das für ein Land, in dem so unaussprechliche Namen wie Llywyngwril auf den Ortsschildern stehen? Wo Kekse gereicht werden, die jedes Gebiss bedrohen? Von den Kalkfelsen Dovers bis ins raue schottische Thurso erkundet Bryson die eigentümliche Welt jenseits des Ärmelkanals und kommt zu dem Schluss: England muss man einfach lieben, ganz gleich, wie wunderlich es einem zuweilen erscheinen mag.

Als Chris Broad völlig blauäugig einen Job als Hilfslehrer in der nordjapanischen Provinz annahm, fragte er sich, ob er nicht einen schrecklichen Fehler ...

For fans of The Lost City of Z, Walking the Amazon, and Turn Right at Machu Picchu comes naturalist and explorer Paul Rosolie’s extraordinary adventure in the uncharted tributaries of the Western Amazon - a tale of discovery that vividly captures the awe, beauty, and isolation of this endangered land and presents an impassioned call to save it.

Australia has more things that can kill you than anywhere else. Nevertheless, Bill Bryson journeyed to the country and promptly fell in love with it. The people are cheerful, their cities are clean, the beer is cold, and the sun nearly always shines.

Die Welt des Bretonen Guirec Soudée ist das Meer. Aufgewachsen auf einer winzigen Insel, schmeißt er mit sechzehn die Schule, um seinen Traum von einer Weltumsegelung zu verwirklichen. Auf einem Fischkutter verdient er sich das Geld für Yvinec, ein dreißig Jahre altes Segelboot. Er restauriert es liebevoll, dann sticht er in See. Seine Begleitung an Bord: die fidele Monique - ein rotbraunes Huhn. Gemeinsam segeln sie über den Atlantik, erkunden Grönland, kämpfen sich 130 Tage durch Packeis und queren die Nordwestpassage, bevor sie gen Süden fahren.

In Neither Here nor There Bill Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia.

Schottland ist nicht England. Diese ebenso banale wie folgenschwere Erkenntnis, so empfiehlt Heinz Ohff, sollte am Anfang einer Reise ins Land der "Scots" stehen. Jenseits von Kilts, Dudelsack und Loch Ness haben die Kelten und eine stürmische Geschichte ihre unübersehbaren Spuren hinterlassen: in einer eigenen Sprache, einer eigenen Kultur, einer eigenen Rechtsprechung und einer eigenen Kirche. Dass Schottland auch ein eigenes Wetter hat, erfährt der Reisende am eigenen Leib.

After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson, the acclaimed author of such best sellers as The Mother Tongue and Made in America, decided it was time to move back to the United States for a while. This was partly to let his wife and kids experience life in Bryson's homeland, and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him.

In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Michael Palin reads his own account of a journey into a new Europe. Michael Palin's New Europe starts with a simple idea: that only a couple of hours from home are a half of Europe that is for him as unknown and unexplored as the plateau of Tibet or the vastness of the Sahara. Cut off for most of his life by Cold Wars and Iron Curtains, Europe's eastern lands are now open for business - and Michael sets off to discover them.

The Appalachian Trail covers 14 states and over 2,000 miles, snaking through some of the most spectacular landscapes in America. Reluctant adventurer Bryson recounts his gruelling hike along the longest continuous footpath in the world.

Kathrin Heckmann ist "Fräulein Draußen", Deutschlands bekannteste wandernde Bloggerin. Ihre Leidenschaft fürs Draußensein wurde eines Tages so groß, dass sie ihren Job als Marketing-Managerin aufgab und beschloss, das Wandern und Reisen zu ihrem Beruf und Alltag zu machen. Dabei müssen es aber nicht die höchsten Gipfel oder die weitesten Wege sein. Unterwegs sein, frei sein, glücklich sein ist das, was ihr wirklich wichtig ist. Und das sucht und findet "Fräulein Draußen" auf einer 1.000 km langen Fernwanderung in Australien genauso wie auf einem Kurztrip nach Brandenburg.

Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after 10 years in England he decided to go home, to a foreign country. In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

The third and most ambitious of Michael Palin's adventures is a voyage of epic proportions - the circumnavigation of the Pacific Rim. He travels for almost a year through the 18 countries that border the world's largest ocean, and is forced to negotiate mountains, plunging gorges, cross glaciers and dodge icebergs. Volcanoes also mark Palin's journey. He climbs one which has freshly erupted and follows great rivers like the Yangtze and the Amazon to some of the most remote places on earth.

After moving back to the States, Bryson started to write a column for The Mail on Sunday Night and Day magazine. This is a collection of these column entries. Bryson writes about everything from everyday chores, to suing people, the beach, TV, movies, air conditioners, college, Americana, injury dangers, wasting resources, and holiday seasons.

In less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie.

John’s trip to India starts badly when he finds himself looking at the sharp end of a knife in a train station cubicle. His life is saved by the enigmatic Rick, who persuades John to abandon his mundane plans for the future for much, much more. Fast forward to the Thai island of Koh Pha-Ngan where they pose as millionaire aristocrats in a hedonistic Eden of beautiful girls, free drugs and wild beach parties. Soon pursued by Thai Mafia, they escape to Indonesia, Australia, and Hong Kong, facing danger at every turn.

A landmark in travel writing, this is the incredible true story of Heinrich Harrer’s escape across the Himalayas to Tibet, set against the backdrop of the Second World War. Heinrich Harrer, already one of the greatest mountaineers of his time, was climbing in the Himalayas when war broke out in Europe. He was imprisoned by the British in India but succeeded in escaping and fled to Tibet.

In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident.
