After thirty-two exhausting days of skirmishes and adventures, only 250 survivors reached the Adriatic coast.   This hair-raising journey is brought vividly to life by bestselling author Tim Parks, who in the blazing summer of 2019, followed in Garibaldi's footsteps.

    Reisverhaal Het heldenpad | Timothy Harold Parks
    Reisverhaal Het heldenpad | Timothy Harold Parks
    ‘Hij had achtenveertig uur voorbereidingstijd. Wij dachten er een jaar over na. Hij moest vierduizend man te voet organiseren, achthonderd man te paard, muilezels, voedsel en een kanon. Wij tweeën hebben alleen onze rugzakken. Hij liet zijn mannen ’s nachts in stilte lopen, vanwege vijandige legers. Onze vijanden zullen verkeer en hitte zijn, dus vertrekken we om half vijf, in de hoop dat we dertig kilometer afgelegd hebben voor de zon hoog staat.’ In de zomer van 2019 stapt Tim Parks samen met zijn partner Eleonora in de voetstappen van de Italiaanse revolutionaire generaal Garibaldi, die in de negentiende eeuw een guerrillaoorlog leidde voor een verenigd Italië.

    Reisverhaal The Way of the 88 Temples | Robert Sibley
    Reisverhaal The Way of the 88 Temples | Robert Sibley
    Shikoku eiland, de pelgrimsroute van 1400 kilometer en 88 tempels. Compelled to seek something more than what modern society has to offer, Robert Sibley turned to an ancient setting for help in recovering what has been lost. The Henro Michi is one of the oldest and most famous pilgrimage routes in Japan. It consists of a circuit of eighty-eight temples around the perimeter of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands. Every henro, or pilgrim, is said to follow in the footsteps of Kb Daishi, the ninth-century ascetic who founded the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Over the course of two months, the author walked this 1,400-kilometer route (roughly 870 miles), visiting the sacred sites and performing their prescribed rituals.Although himself a gaijin, or foreigner, Sibley saw no other pilgrim on the trail who was not Japanese. Some of the people he met became not only close companions but also ardent teachers of the language and culture. These fellow pilgrims’ own stories add to the …

    Reisverhaal Midnight in Sicily | Peter Robb
    Reisverhaal Midnight in Sicily | Peter Robb
    Mooi verslag van een reis in het echte Sicilie: over kunst, eten, geschiedenis, reizen natuurijk de Casa Nostra. Dit boek spreekt zeer tot de verbeelding, zeker als je rondreist. (Engels) Peter Robb's journey into the dark heart of Sicily uses history, painting, literature and food to shed light on southern Italy's legacy of political corruption and violent crime. Taking the trial of seven-times Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti, for alleged Mafia involvement as its starting point, Midnight in Sicily combines a searching investigation with an exuberant, sensual appreciation of this beautiful and bewildering island. Recensie(s) One of the greatest charms of Robb's book is his evident delight in southern Italy, particularly its food, which is recorded with such intensity of memory that one can almost taste it...

    Reisverhaal Everest the Hard Way | Sir Chris Bonington
    Reisverhaal Everest the Hard Way | Sir Chris Bonington
    50th Anniversary Edition Everest – the highest peak in the world, the ultimate challenge to a mountaineer’s skill and endurance. It had been climbed before, but never like this. Chris Bonington and his team had ambitions to climb it – the hard way.   Yet before Bonington and his team set out in August 1975, even their well-wishers gave them only a fifty–fifty chance of success. The South West Face of Everest had already defeated five expeditions, including one led by Bonington himself. Everest the Hard Way is an exhilarating story of courage, endurance and teamwork.   Bonington’s narrative celebrates the big moments and recreates the excitement and danger of the climb with vivid immediacy. He shares the logistical problems involved in keeping a large expedition moving, and the very real psychological ones of balancing and pairing lead climbers and giving each a chance to make the route on the face. He describes the constant avalanche threat which made the Western Cwm more dangerous th…

    Reisverhaal Koffiebars en carabinieri | Miriam Bunnik
    Reisverhaal Koffiebars en carabinieri | Miriam Bunnik
    Iedereen weet wel iets over Italië: dat er een scheve toren staat, dat ze er pasta eten en dat ze er goed kunnen voetballen. Maar er is natuurlijk nog veel meer te vertellen over dit prachtige land, met zijn bergen, stranden en vulkanen. Koffiebars en carabinieri brengt je dieper het land in dan je zelf als toerist zou komen. Niet eerder kwamen geschiedenis, reizen en echte mensen zo mooi bij elkaar in één boek over Italië.   Italië-expert Miriam Bunnik reist door de laars, op zoek naar de verhalen achter typisch Italiaanse verschijnselen. Van klassiekers als caffè, de Fiat 500 en pizza, tot belangrijke Italiaanse historische personen over wie je weleens hebt gehoord, zoals Garibaldi en Dante. Van de vanzelfsprekende liefde van Italianen voor hun geboorteplaats tot de herkomst van de Italiaanse vlag. Miriam ontmoet onderweg Italianen die er alles over weten en die haar vertellen over hun passies, tradities en cultuur. Ze zit bijvoorbeeld op de bank bij een fanatieke voetbalsupporter, …

    Reisverhaal Connemara, listening to the wind | Tim Robinson
    Reisverhaal Connemara, listening to the wind | Tim Robinson
    Een geweldig boek met prachtige sfeerbeelden in het verhaal. Heerlijk om te lezen voor iedereen met een hart voor Ierland en Connemara in het bijzonder. The first volume in Tim Robinson's phenomenal Connemara Trilogy - which Robert Macfarlane has called 'One of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English'. In its landscape, history and folklore, Connemara is a singular region: ill-defined geographically, and yet unmistakably a place apart from the rest of Ireland. Tim Robinson, who established himself as Ireland's most brilliant living non-fiction writer with the two-volume Stones of Aran, moved from Aran to Connemara nearly twenty years ago.   This book is the result of his extraordinary engagement with the mountains, bogs and shorelines of the region, and with its folklore and its often terrible history: a work as beautiful and surprising as the place it attempts to describe. Chosen as a book of the year by Iain Sinclair, Robert Macfarlane and Colm Toibin'One of t…

    Reisverhaal The Teardrop Island | Cherry Briggs
    Reisverhaal The Teardrop Island | Cherry Briggs
    Mr Fernando led me into a dark room that was lined with book-cases and smelled of leather and damp. The polished, concrete floor of the library was covered with white jasmine flowers that had blown through the windows during the storm. He began to select from the shelves a collection of disintegrating books. ‘If you are going to read any of them, it should really be this one,’ he said as he passed me two thick volumes, embossed with gold lettering and spotted with damp. The work was simply called Ceylon and was written by an Irishman named Sir James Emerson Tennent, who had been sent to the island in 1845 by Her Majesty’s Government.The Teardrop Island follows in the footsteps of the eccentric Victorian James Emerson Tennent, along a route which takes Cherry to pilgrimage trails, into tea estates and rural regions inhabited by indigenous tribes, as well as through restricted areas of the former warzone, delving under the surface of the contemporary culture via cricket matches and fort…
