VOR EINIGEN WOCHEN sahen wir an einem Laternenmast einen Hilferuf: »Wer kann Hinweise geben? Letzte Nacht wurde unser voll bepackter Bulli gestohlen, mit dem wir heute in den Urlaub fahren wollten.« Was für ein Jammer in diesem ohnehin schwierigen Reisejahr! Bester Laune hingegen sind trotz Corona-Krise die Caravan-Vermieter und Wohnmobil-Hersteller. Das Geschäft brummt wie ein fabrikneuer Motor. Nach Angaben des Caraving- Industrie-Verbandes sind 700 000 Caravans und 590 000 Reisemobile in Deutschland zugelassen; das Wohnmobil hat in der Mitte der Gesellschaft eingeparkt. Kein Wunder, bietet es doch die größtmögliche Freiheit, während uns das Virus in unsere Grenzen weist. Vor allem aber steht das Reisen auf vier Rädern für ein einzigartiges Gefühl – weil sich Fernweh und Heimweh gleichermaßen stillen lassen. Aus diesem Grund laden wir Sie bereits zum zweiten Mal ein, sich mit GEO Special auf Tour zu machen. Back on the road. Schreiben Sie uns gern, wie es Ihnen gefällt ([email protected]). Bis dahin viel Spaß beim Lesen und Nachreisen!

How the most powerful country in the UK was forged by invasion and conquest, and is fractured by its north-south divide. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. England—begetter of parliaments and globe-spanning empires, star of beloved period dramas, and home of the House of Windsor—is not quite the stalwart island fortress that many of us imagine. Riven by an ancient fault line that predates even the Romans, its fate has ever been bound up with that of its neighbors; and for the past millennia, it has harbored a class system like nowhere else on Earth. This bracing tour of the most powerful country in the United Kingdom reveals an England repeatedly invaded and constantly reinvented—yet always fractured by its very own Mason-Dixon Line. It carries us swiftly through centuries of conflict between Crown and Parliament (starring the Magna Carta), America’s War of Independence, the rise and fall of empire, two World Wars, and England’s break from the EU. We discover: why the American colonists of 1776 believed that they were the true Anglo-Saxons how the British Empire was undermined from within why Winston Churchill said the UK could only be saved by splitting up England itself and how populism spawned Brexit and its “new elite.” The Shortest History of England brings all this and more to prescient life—offering the most direct, compelling route to understanding the country behind today’s headlines.

Between Germany and Russia is a region strewn with monuments to the horrors of war, genocide and disaster – the bloodlands where the murderous regimes of Hitler and Stalin unleashed the violence that scarred the twentieth century and shaped so much of the world we know today. In September 2016 the German-Iranian writer Navid Kermani set out to discover this land and to travel along the trenches that are now re-emerging in Europe, from his home in Cologne through eastern Germany to the Baltics, and from there south to the Caucasus and to Isfahan in Iran, the home of his parents. This beautifully written travel diary, enlivened by conversations with the people Kermani meets along the way, brings to life the tragic history of these troubled lands and shows how this history leaves its traces in the present. It will be of great interest to anyone concerned with current affairs and with the events that have shaped, and continue to shape, the world in which we live today.

In dieser Ausgabe kommen wir endlich zum Zug: Wie oft hatten wir uns schließlich schon vorgenommen, eine Titelgeschichte dem Thema Bahnreisen zu widmen. Zumal die Fangemeinde innerhalb der Redaktion groß ist. Kaum jemand unter uns, der beim Wort »Zug« nicht aus dem Stand ins Schwärmen und Erzählen gerät. Eine Kollegin reiste beispielsweise eine Woche in einer Dampflok und mit ihrem jungen Neffen durchs schottische Hochland (was sie weitaus weniger Geld als Nerven kostete). Eine hat streikenden italienischen Bahnern eine ungeplante Nacht im Zug und die ungewöhnlichste Freundschaft ihres Lebens zu verdanken. Einer anderen ist die Winterreise durch die watteweiße Schweizer Alpenwelt unvergessen, und uns selbst fielen die Interrailtouren ein, die uns beide unabhängig voneinander quer durch Europa führten. Was für abwechslungsreiche Tage und Wochen: Heute Rotwein trinken unterm Eiffelturm, morgen Kopfschmerzen in Barcelona. Vielleicht wirken Zugreisen auch deshalb heute noch so anziehend, weil beim Gedanken daran immer eine Nuance Melancholie mitschwingt. Zugreisen stehen für eine romantische Art des Unterwegsseins, so zeitgemäß sie auch sind. Besondere Lust möchten wir Ihnen an dieser Stelle noch auf eine andere moderne Form des Reisens machen: Ab Seite 118 haben wir für Sie spezielle Touren für Elektroautos zusammengestellt. Denn was uns als Reisemagazin ja besonders beschäftigt, ist die Mobilität von heute, morgen und übermorgen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen und Nachreisen wünschen.

'Ian Morris has established himself as a leader in making big history interesting and understandable' Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel 'Morris succeeds triumphantly at cramming 10,000 years of history into a single book' Robert Colvile, The Times For hundreds of years, Britannia ruled the waves and an empire on which the sun never set - but for thousands of years before that, Britain had been no more than a cluster of unimportant islands off Europe's north-west shore. Drawing on the latest archaeological and historical evidence, Ian Morris shows how much the meaning of Britain's geography has changed in the 10,000 years since rising seas began separating the Isles from the Continent, and how these changing meanings have determined Britons' destinies. From being merely Europe's fractious, feuding periphery - divided by customs, language and landscape, and always at the mercy of more powerful continental neighbours - the British turned themselves into a United Kingdom and put it at the centre of global politics, commerce and culture. But as power and wealth now shift from the West towards China, what fate awaits Britain in the twenty-first century?

Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize A Portuguese woman shuts herself away after the Angolan War of Independence in this stunning novel from a master storyteller whose writing evokes Gabriel García Márquez and J.M. Coetzee. On the eve of Angolan independence, an agoraphobic woman named Ludo bricks herself into her Luandan apartment for 30 years, living off vegetables and the pigeons she lures in with diamonds, burning her furniture and books to stay alive, and writing her story on the apartment's walls. As the country goes through various political upheavals—from colony to socialist republic to civil war to peace and capitalism—the world outside seeps into Ludo’s life through snippets on the radio, voices from next door, glimpses of someone peeing on a balcony, or a man fleeing his pursuers. Almost as if we're eavesdropping, the history of Angola unfolds through the stories of those she sees from her window . . . A General Theory of Oblivion is a perfectly crafted, wild patchwork of a novel, playing on a love of storytelling and fable.

The world-renowned anthropologist and adventurer reviewed his amazing life's work in this captivating memoir, completed shortly before his death in 2002. In the Footsteps of Adam captures the excitement that surrounded Heyerdahl's bold experiments and the conclusions they pointed to. Choosing to put his life on the line for the sake of proving his theories, Heyerdahl most famously crossed the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia in a hand-built raft made of balsa wood (the Kon-Tiki) to show that ancient civilizations were capable of a much wider range of travel and exploration than previously thought. Heyerdahl also recounts his journeys to the Galapagos, the Maldives, and Easter Island, and meetings met with leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev, Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein. Moving in the footsteps of Adam, Heyerdahl brings to our myopic and often destructive modern world an understanding of the richness and vibrancy of our ancient past.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Written to commemorate the Bicentennial in 1976, James A. Michener’s magnificent saga of the West is an enthralling celebration of the frontier. Brimming with the glory of America’s past, the story of Colorado—the Centennial State—is manifested through its people: Lame Beaver, the Arapaho chieftain and warrior, and his Comanche and Pawnee enemies; Levi Zendt, fleeing with his child bride from the Amish country; the cowboy, Jim Lloyd, who falls in love with a wealthy and cultured Englishwoman, Charlotte Seccombe. In Centennial, trappers, traders, homesteaders, gold seekers, ranchers, and hunters are brought together in the dramatic conflicts that shape the destiny of the legendary West—and the entire country. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii. Praise for Centennial “A hell of a book . . . While he fascinates and engrosses, Michener also educates.”—Los Angeles Times “An engrossing book . . . imaginative and intricate . . . teeming with people and giving a marvelous sense of the land.”—The Plain Dealer “Michener is America’s best writer, and he proves it once again in Centennial. . . . If you’re a Michener fan, this book is a must. And if you’re not a Michener fan, Centennial will make you one.”—The Pittsburgh Press “An absorbing work . . . Michener is a superb storyteller.”—BusinessWeek

An exotic, heartbreaking memoir that should finally earn Paula Fox, a distinguished novelist and children's book writer, the audience she has for decades deserved Paula Fox has long been acclaimed as one of America's most brilliant fiction writers. Borrowed Finery, her first book in nearly a decade, is an astonishing memoir of her highly unusual beginnings. Born in the twenties to nomadic, bohemian parents, Fox is left at birth in a Manhattan orphanage, then cared for by a poor yet cultivated minister in upstate New York. Her parents, however, soon resurface. Her handsome father is a hard-drinking screenwriter who is, for young Paula, "part ally, part betrayer." Her mother is given to icy bursts of temper that punctuate a deep indifference. How, Fox wonder, is this woman "enough of an organic being to have carried me in her belly"? Never sharing more than a few moments with his daughter, Fox's father allows her to be shunted from New York City, where she lives with her passive Spanish grandmother, to Cuba, where she roams freely on a relative's sugar-cane plantation, to California, where she finds herself cast upon Hollywood's grubby margins. The thread binding these wanderings is the "borrowed finery" of the title-a few pieces of clothing, almost always lent by kind-hearted strangers, that offer Fox a rare glimpse of permanency. Vivid and poetic, Borrowed Finery is an unforgettable book which will swell the legions of Paula Fox's devoted admiriers.

'Effortless and compelling, Brooks is a wonderful storyteller. I doubt I will read a better book this year.' Sunday Telegraph Each of Vermeer's paintings tells a story. In one, a military officer leans toward a laughing girl; in another, a woman stands by a window and weighs silver; in a third, fruit spills from a porcelain bowl onto a lavish Turkish carpet. Hiding in plain sight, these details hint at the intricate threads that bound Vermeer's world together - the officer's hat is made from North American beaver, bought with silver extracted from the mines of Peru, while beaver pelts were traded in their thousands for the Chinese porcelain so beloved by the Dutch in the Golden Age. From a view of Delft, Vermeer gives us the world. As a new Vermeer exhibition opens at the Rijksmuseum, the largest of its kind in history, Vermeer's Hat offers a fascinating perspective on how the burgeoning forces of trade and commerce shaped Vermeer's masterpieces.
