Reisverhaal Wild Abandon - Dodecanesos | Jennifer Barclay
Reisverhaal Wild Abandon - Dodecanesos | Jennifer Barclay
'There's something about abandoned places which moves me and captures the imagination.' So says seasoned travel writer Jennifer Barclay as she walks with her dog and her backpack through the deserted spaces of the Dodecanese, islands that were once bustling but are now half forgotten and reclaimed by the wild due to a mix of misfortune and the lure of opportunity elsewhere. Join her on a journey through abandoned villages and farms, cave-houses and captains' mansions, the homes of displaced Muslim fishermen and poets, as she discovers beauty in the ruins, emptiness and silence, and inspiration in the stories of people's lives.A long-term resident of Greece, Jennifer Barclay spent more than four years researching Wild Abandon, visiting islands multiple times and hearing the stories of local people. She travels from the very west to the very east of the Dodecanese, from the very south almost to the very north, taking in some of the smallest and the biggest islands, and highlighting diff…

Vampira Statue 1/6 Queen of the Ghouls 43 cm
Vampira Statue 1/6 Queen of the Ghouls 43 cm
Vampira, even if you don't know the name you certainly know the look. In 1953 a young aspiring actress, Maila Nurmi, needed a costume for an upcoming masquerade party. She drew upon a comic strip of cartoonist and illustrator Charles Addams. The yet unnamed character of Mrs. Addams struck Ms. Nurmi as the perfect look for the party and so she set about creating her own version of the character's dress. That was the day that Vampira was born and with her a new style in beauty, the gothic queen.In a time when most actresses were blond with sun kissed skin, Vampira was every bit the opposite. Ink black hair with pale skin and very little makeup except for blood red lips, high arching eyebrows, and exceeding long fingernails. Wearing a sheer, form fitting full-length dress with sleeves torn into strips up to the elbows and long 'tendrils' extending from the hemline, Vampira was certainly unique, and she caught the attention of everyone, including a local television producer.That chance enc…

Reisverhaal Adventures in Morocco | Alice Morrison
Reisverhaal Adventures in Morocco | Alice Morrison
TV presenter, writer and adventurer Alice Morrison gives her own unique and personal insight into Morocco, the place she's made her home. When Alice Morrison headed out to Morocco, it was to take on one of the most daunting challenges: to run in the famous Marathon des Sables. Little did she expect to end up living there. But once she settled in a flat in Marrakech, she was won over by the people, the spectacular scenery and the ancient alleyways of the souks. Soon she was hiking over the Atlas mountains, joining nomads to sample their timeless way of life as they crossed the Sahara desert, and finding peace in a tranquil oasis. Despite more than 10 million tourists coming to Morocco each year, there are remarkably few books about its people, their customs and the extraordinary range of places to visit, from bustling markets to vast, empty deserts. Alice makes sure she samples it all, and as she does she provides a stunning portrait of a beautiful country. As a lone woman, she often…

Productomschrijving

An ambitious and magnificent new travelogue by internationally bestselling, prizewinning writer Erika Fatland.

The Himalayas meander for more than two thousand kilometres through many different countries, from Pakistan to Myanmar via Nepal, India, Tibet and Bhutan, where the world religions of Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism are interspersed with ancient shamanic beliefs. Countless languages and vastly different cultures exist in these isolated mountain valleys. Modernity and tradition collide, while the great powers fight for influence.

As Erika Fatland introduces us to the people she meets along her journey, and in particular the women, she takes us on a vivid and dizzying expedition at altitude through incredible landscapes and dramatic, unknown histories.

Skilfully weaving the politics, geography, astrology, theology and ecology of this vast region, she also explores some of the most volatile human conflicts of our times.

With her unique gift for listening, and for storytelling, she has become one of the most exciting travel writers of her generation.

Translated from the Norwegian by Kari Dickson
