Download or read book The Danube written by Nick Thorpe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent Danube both cuts across and connects central Europe, flowing through and alongside ten countries: Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany. Travelling its full length from east to west, against the river’s flow, Nick Thorpe embarks on an inspiring year-long journey that leads to a new perspective on Europe today. Thorpe’s account is personal, conversational, funny, immediate, and uniquely observant—everything a reader expects in the best travel writing. Immersing himself in the Danube’s waters during daily morning swims, Thorpe likewise becomes immersed in the histories of the lands linked by the river. He observes the river’s ecological conditions, some discouraging and others hopeful, and encounters archaeological remains that whisper of human communities sustained by the river over eight millennia. Most fascinating of all are the ordinary and extraordinary people along the way—the ferrymen and fishermen, workers in the fields, shopkeepers, beekeepers, waitresses, smugglers and border policemen, legal and illegal immigrants, and many more. For readers who anticipate their own journeys on the Danube, as well as those who only dream of seeing the great river, this book will be a unique and treasured guide.

Book Synopsis Hiking and Cycling in the Black Forest by : Kat Morgenstern
Download or read book Hiking and Cycling in the Black Forest written by Kat Morgenstern and published by Cicerone Press Limited. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 15 day walks, 3 multi-stage treks and 5 cycle routes are described covering the north, central and southern areas of Germany's Black Forest. The walks and cycle routes are evenly distributed across all three areas and comprise both long distance routes and day walks, although each stage of every long distance walk can also be done as individual day tour. The chosen routes include the main Black Forest destinations, such as Feldberg, Belchen Schauinsland, Hornisgrinde and Mummelsee, as well as Allerheiligen Abbey and waterfalls and the source of the Danube, to name but a few. Two of the three long distance routes are certified quality trails: Schluchtensteig (120km), which means gorge trail traverses the Wutachschlucht, one of the last untamed river systems in Germany, and Zweitälersteig (108km) a highly diverse circular route which leads through some of the most beautiful and contrasting parts of the Central Black Forest. Seensteig (71km) partially follows the central ridge of the Black Forest mountain range, offering unsurpassed views along the way. The cycle routes (4 day rides, and the 242km Southern Black Forest Cycle Route) are mostly easy and scenic, and utilise the extensive and well-maintained bicycle trail system that criss-crosses the entire region. The walks and rides are described in detail and basic maps are provided for orientation.

Book excerpt: This is a joyous collection, taking joy in the sun on the Rhine and in the "big red table umbrella dripping down on all sides"; in "droplets of sweat slipping to the parched ground" and in ships sailing "like sugar cubes through molasses"; in a boy in a red Alpine hat and a grandfather with a mandolin. The poems travel through the Black Forest, but they also travel through four generations-generations who, in the poems of this book, are lovingly connected.

The poems are wise, clear, and exhilarating. Steve Katz, author of The Exaggerations of Peter Prince, Saw and Moving Parts These poems form a travelogue of a family tracing its genealogy, studying its roots. It's a collection of passionate images of a beautiful country. Food, art, music, life-all of the memories of a trip to Germany, the poet's ancestral home. Written in free verse with lots of comparative language, these poems are a tribute to a heritage and a country, passionate and beautifully written-a pleasure to read. Emily-Jane Hills Orford, award-winning Canadian author

Book Synopsis Stranger in the Forest by : Eric Hansen
Download or read book Stranger in the Forest written by Eric Hansen and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2000-11-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Hansen was the first westerner ever to walk across the island of Borneo. Completely cut off from the outside world for seven months, he traveled nearly 1,500 miles with small bands of nomadic hunters known as Penan. Beneath the rain forest canopy, they trekked through a hauntingly beautiful jungle where snakes and frogs fly, pigs climb trees, giant carnivorous plants eat mice, and mushrooms glow at night. At once a modern classic of travel literature and a gripping adventure story, Stranger in the Forest provides a rare and intimate look at the vanishing way of life of one of the last surviving groups of rain forest dwellers. Hansen's absorbing, and often chilling, account of his exploits is tempered with the humor and humanity that prompted the Penan to take him into their world and to share their secrets.

This thrilling fantasy adventure re-tells the story of the fairy tale, The Nutcracker, taking the reader along for the ride...a classic for all seasons! Excerpt (c) Reprinted with permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 10 - Egon Egon, spewing and cursing, trampled through the halls of the Castle of Bosartig. He was rage walking. All the mice in the kingdom that saw him from a distance backed off and quickly fled the other way, probably hoping they had not been spotted. Those less fortunate, quickly learned the folly of being in the path of a mouse gone mad. Egon had already given orders to have all the mouse soldiers ready by the time he made it to the front of the castle. The mouse soldiers were lined up row by row by the time Egon made it out to the castle's courtyard. Many gulped when Egon appeared. "Mice!" Egon bellowed. "Yes, King Egon." The mouse soldiers shivered as they quickly knelt in unison. King Egon thrust his sword in the air above his head. "We are on our way to the Ice Palace. Nordika thinks her army can protect Dustin and that young girl. Can she protect them?" Egon said with an evil laugh. The mouse soldiers said nothing. They hung their heads low. "You!" Egon hollered as he pointed to one of the mouse soldiers up front. All heads immediately turned. Some mice could be heard sighing with relief. Egon was not speaking to them. The soldier Egon pointed out quickly ran forward. Directly in front of Egon, he knelt down on one knee and bowed his head. "Yes, King Egon," he said meekly, almost in a whisper. Tears could be seen welling up in the soldier's eyes. "I remember you from our last battle," Egon continued as he walked from side to side with his head held high. The poor mouse soldier softly responded, "Yes." "Stand and look behind you!" Egon ordered while he rammed his sword into its holster. The mouse soldier jumped up and looked at the rows of mouse soldiers still kneeling with their faces partly lowered. "Now, tell me what you see." The mouse soldier looked perplexed and gulped. In a shrill and confused voice, he responded, "Mouse soldiers?" Egon walked from left to right and templed his sharp claws, tapping them together in front of his chest. "Yes, mouse soldiers," he affirmed in a commanding low voice. "And none of those faces will be here tomorrow if we don't get that girl and Dustin by the stroke of the next hour." Egon then charged forward. The mouse soldiers followed quickly behind him. Their long tails swished from side to side, leaving marks in the snow.
