    Reisverhaal A Divided Heart | Mathew Thorpe
    Reisverhaal A Divided Heart | Mathew Thorpe
    In dit reisdagboek beschrijft Mathew Thorpe zijn tochten over de Oostenrijkse Jakobswegen, onderdeel van de pelgrimsroute naar Santiago de Compostela. Hij schrijft over de geschiedenis van Oostenrijk en de vele kloosters die het land rijk is, maar ook over de kleurrijke verzameling mensen die hij onderweg tegenkomt.   An enthralling and eye-opening account of a long trek through the Austrian mountains. Mathew Thorpe didn't set out to write a book. He didn't plan to devote so much time to exploring the Austrian Jakobswege.   But during a fortuitous visit shortly before retiring from his role as Head of International Family Justice, Thorpe was captivated by the glorious history and unrivalled natural beauty of these pilgrim trails. A Divided Heart is the fascinating account of four long walks: the first the East-West March from Vienna to the Swiss border; the second crossing the Southern Provinces of Steiermark, Karnten, Ost Tirol, Sud Tirol and on to Innsbruck; the third from the Czech …

    Reisverhaal Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes | Robert Louis Stevenson
    Reisverhaal Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes | Robert Louis Stevenson
    In 1878 Robert Louis Stevenson escaped from his numerous troubles--poor health, tormented love, inadequate funds--by embarking on a journey through the Cévennes in France, accompanied by Modestine, a rather single-minded donkey. The notebook Stevenson kept during this time became Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, a highly entertaining account of the French and their country. The Amateur Emigrant describes his travels to and around America: the crowded weeks in steerage, the cross-country train journey. Filled with sharp-eyed observations, it brilliantly conveys Stevenson's perceptions of America and the Americans. Together, these writings reveal as much about the traveler as the places he travels to.

    Reisverhaal Mani - Travels in the Southern Peloponnessos | Patrick Leigh Fermor
    Reisverhaal Mani - Travels in the Southern Peloponnessos | Patrick Leigh Fermor
    Mani is het meest afgelegen, meest geïsoleerde en wildste gebied van Griekenland. Van de rest van het land afgesneden door de torenhoge bergketen van de Taygetos en ingeklemd tussen de Egeïsche en Ionische Zee, is deze rotsgie centrale uitloper van de Peloponnesus het zuidelijkste punt van mediterraan Europa. Tussen Kaap Matapan, het antieke Tenaron, en de kust van Afrika liggen alleen nog een paar verspreide eilanden. Dicht bij de laatste kaap ligt de grot die naar Hades leidt. Deze bergen waren volgens de bewoners het toevluchtsoord van hun voorouders, de Spartanen, toen er aan hun hegemonie achter de Taygetos een einde werd gemaakt. Het is een gebied vol peilloze afgronden, desolaat en ondoordringbaar, en de paar reizigers die zich er hebben gewaagd, wijzen steeds op een overeenkomst tussen de grillige rotsen en de mensen die er wonen. Mani is het verslag van het verblijf van Patrick Leigh Fermor in deze ruige streek, waarin hij op onnavolgbare wijze het heden en het verleden bij el…

    Wegenkaart - landkaart Jersey - Guernsey - Sark - Alderney (Kanaaleilanden) | ITMB
    Wegenkaart - landkaart Jersey - Guernsey - Sark - Alderney (Kanaaleilanden) | ITMB
    Goede detailkaart van alle kanaaleilanden. Het is zo gedetailleerd dat zelfs straatnamen er op staan. De kaart is ook nog eens geplastificeerd en daarmee scheur- en watervast.  ITMB is pleased to re-introduce the Channel Islands map area after a lengthy hiatus of preparing new artwork. The first version of this part of Europe was licensed artwork by a local firm in Jersey, and upon running out of copies of the printed map, we opted to prepare fresh artwork of our own to continue this interesting corner of the continent to continue to be available. The islands, collectively known in English as the Channel Islands, are one of those anomalies that make Europe so attractive. They are part of Great Britain, but not part of the UK; hence, they are not part of the EU. They are self-governing entities ‘owned’ by the Queen in her role of being Duchess of Normandy. This is, of course, merely a hereditary situation, but the islands were the personal possessions of William the Conqueror in 1066, a…

    Reisverhaal Walking the Wharfe | Johno Ellison
    Reisverhaal Walking the Wharfe | Johno Ellison
    In a world of globetrotting explorers and record-breaking journeys - of which he has been part himself - Johno Ellison decided to return to his roots and walk the entire length of the River Wharfe, the Yorkshire waterway beside which he grew up. In his new book for Bradt, Walking the Wharfe, Ellison retraces the steps of Victorian author Edmund Bogg to investigate how the riverscape and its communities have evolved during the intervening 120 years. While wild camping, meeting modern-day Vikings, wartime ghosts and the fearless 'Dales Dippers', and learning how not to deal with a herd of over-inquisitive cows, Ellison encounters a microcosm of English history and culture. Starting in the Vale of York, Ellison walks upstream to explore the region's Viking and Roman heritage, as well as more modern developments such as Tadcaster's disastrous bridge collapse in 2015. He examines a profusion of Victorian spa towns, considers the impact of the Industrial Revolution and enjoys rare wildlife s…

    Productomschrijving

    A charming memoir exploring the history, landscape and people of rural France, told through the eyes of a Parisian-born Englishman, writer and poet. Adam Thorpe's home for the past 25 years has been an old house in the Cévennes, a wild range of mountains in southern France. Prior to this, in an ancient millhouse in the oxbow of a Cévenol river, he wrote the novel that would become the Booker Prize-nominated Ulverton, now a Vintage Classic. In more recent writing Thorpe has explored the Cévennes, drawing on the legends, history and above all the people of this part of France for his inspiration. In his charming journal, Notes from the Cévennes, Thorpe takes up these themes, writing about his surroundings, the village and his house at the heart of it, as well as the contrasts of city life in nearby Nîmes. In particular he is interested in how the past leaves impressions--marks--on our landscape and on us. What do we find in the grass, earth and stone beneath our feet and in the objects around us? How do they tie us to our forebears? What traces have been left behind and what marks do we leave now? Part celebration of both rustic and urban France, part memoir, Thorpe's humorous and precise prose shows a wonderful stylist at work, recalling classics such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.
