Im Frühling des Jahres 1929 machte sich ein eigenwilliges englisches Ehepaar aus dem kalten und regnerischen London auf den Weg, eine "paradiesische Insel im Mittelmeer" zu bereisen, die damals noch weitgehend unentdeckt vor sich hinträumte.Gordon West, von Beruf Journalist, und seine emanzipierte Ehefrau Mary, eine Hobby-Kunstmalerin, erwanderten sich Mallorca auf Schusters Rappen oder Esels Rücken.Als Gordon West seine persönlichen Eindrücke und die Erlebnisse der privaten Inselerkundung in dem vorliegenden Buch humorvoll festhielt, konnte er nicht ahnen, was er und später andere Enthusiasten mit ihrer Mallorca-Verehrung auslösen würden... . Vieles von dem alten Mallorca ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten zwar durch gedankenlose Naturzerstörung unwiderruflich verloren gegangen, aber der besondere Charme des oft beschworenen anderen Mallorcas lässt sich auch heute noch in manchen Teilen der Insel aufspüren. Man kann den nostalgischen Reisebericht der Wests als eine Art Gebrauchsanweisung dafür benutzen und auf diese Weise auch den modernen Urlaub zu seiner ganz eigenen "mallorquinischen Reise" ausgestalten. Die englische Originalversion Jogging round Majorca war nach ihrer Wiederentdeckung Anfang der 90er Jahre des 20. Jhd. in GroÃbritannien ein kleiner Bestseller und "Reisebuch des Jahres 1994". Ãberarbeitete Neuauflage 2024 mit zahlreichen Illustrationen von Stefan Theurer.
Unsere erste Reise mit dem Auto nach Italien war eine neue Erfahrung. Die Entscheidung, auf diese Weise zu reisen und die Unterkünfte buchstäblich am Tag vor der Ankunft an den ausgewählten Orten zu buchen, gab uns Flexibilität. Unsere Pläne waren oft ehrgeizig, was regelmäÃige Anpassungen erforderte. Die zehntägige Reise durch italienische Städte ergab sich spontan. Wir reisten in einer kleinen Gruppe von sechs Personen aus drei Generationen, begleitet von unserem treuen Hund York Fafik. Aufgrund der Altersstruktur planten wir eher Ausflüge in die Natur als Museumsbesuche. Trotzdem haben wir unsere vier Hauptziele erreicht: Florenz, Pisa, Rom und Venedig. Das erforderte Energie und eine gute Organisation. Entscheidungen mussten vor Ort getroffen werden. Wir haben viel gesehen und viel erlebt. Beim Sammeln und Aufbereiten des Materials wurde klar, dass es viele Orte gibt, die einen Besuch lohnen. Ich beschloss, ein Buch mit dem Titel "Vier Städte in zehn Tagen. Florenz, Pisa, Rom und Venedig" zu schreiben, das die Geschichte, Landschaft und Kultur dieser vier berühmten Städte und dieser einzigartigen Umgebung vorstellt. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Ihnen diese einzigartige Region vorzustellen und Sie zu einer auÃergewöhnlichen Reise einzuladen.
In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture. Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations.The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity. What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.
