Zwischen postkolonialem Blues und Ölboom In London lernt Daniel Metcalfe den angolanischen Dichter Rui kennen, aus dem bizarre Geschichten über seine Heimat nur so heraussprudeln. Er karikiert die neue, märchenhaft reiche Elite, die Starlets und Präsidenten-Mätressen, Geschäftemacher und Ölmagnaten, die den Reichtum des Landes auf ihre Bankkonten lenken und die Skulpturen in ihren Villen Champagner pinkeln lassen. Die blumigen Namen der Bohrplattformen, von Orchidee bis Dahlie, können nicht verbergen: Das sprudelnde Öl nährt eine Welt anmaßender Exzesse. Neugierig geworden und trotz der Warnungen eines Reiseführers beschließt Metcalfe, als Rucksacktourist loszuziehen und jenseits der Baukräne von Luanda die alte Seele des Landes zu suchen: das Angola der gütigen Großväter, der guten Feste, des Kizomba-Tanzes und der kunstvollen Geistermasken. In Bussen und klapprigen Jeeps ist er unterwegs, er spricht mit Stammesältesten und Minenräumern, Straßenkindern und Ölarbeitern und erfährt eine Lebenswirklichkeit voller Extreme. Er findet die Narben der portugiesischen Kolonialgeschichte, des Sklavenhandels und des fast drei Jahrzehnte dauernden angolanischen Bürgerkriegs. Seine Reise führt ihn direkt in einen explosiven Cocktail aus Korruption und Vetternwirtschaft, sprudelndem Ölgeld und schnellem Aufstieg der Neureichen, Elend und postkolonialem Blues.

Gavin Francis fulfilled a lifetime's ambition when he spent fourteen months as the basecamp doctor at Halley, a profoundly isolated British research station on the Caird Coast of Antarctica. So remote, it is said to be easier to evacuate a casualty from the International Space Station than it is to bring someone out of Halley in winter. Antarctica offered a year of unparalleled silence and solitude, with few distractions and a very little human history, but also a rare opportunity to live among emperor penguins, the only species truly at home in he Antarctic. Following Penguins throughout the year –– from a summer of perpetual sunshine to months of winter darkness –– Gavin Francis explores the world of great beauty conjured from the simplest of elements, the hardship of living at 50 c below zero and the unexpected comfort that the penguin community bring. Empire Antarctica is the story of one man and his fascination with the world's loneliest continent, as well as the emperor penguins who weather the winter with him. Combining an evocative narrative with a sublime sensitivity to the natural world, this is travel writing at its very best

First published in 1858 ‘Handbook to the New Gold-Fields’ is a fascinating guide by prolific author R.M. Ballantyne to the land of California following the initial gold rush there. In it he describes the new gold-fields, the wildlife, and the people of the area – both the American Indians and the workers who had come to seek their fortune from afar. With beautiful and evocative descriptions throughout, this is a fascinating glimpse of California following perhaps one of the most altering periods of its history. R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children’s fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16 Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, travelling all over the country to trade for fur. He returned to Scotland in 1847 following the death of his father, and it was then that he began his literary career in earnest, writing over 100 children’s adventure books over the course of his life. Stories such as ‘The Coral Island’ and ‘The Young Fur Traders’ were hugely popular, and many of them drew on his own experiences of travelling throughout Canada. A stickler for detail, Ballantyne continued to travel widely to research the backgrounds and settings for his exciting stories. His tales became an inspiration for authors of the future, including ‘Treasure Island’ novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Ballantyne spent the latter period of his life living in London and Italy for the sake of his health. He died in Rome in 1894 at the age of 68.

‘The Buffalo Runners’ is a pioneering adventure story by prolific author R.M. Ballantyne. Set in Canada, a country where Ballantyne had lived, worked, and adventured as a young man, the story is full of realistic details no doubt drawn from the author’s own experiences. The tale centres around a new settlement which is trying to establish itself in a hostile and as yet unsettled part of Canada. The community must contend with all sorts of dangers – from plagues of locusts, to kidnappings and famine - this is an adventure story full of the extremes of pioneer life. R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children’s fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16 Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, travelling all over the country to trade for fur.
