Nebelmeer und Wermutsteppe

Travel & Adventure

Realistische Kunst sucht im Alltäglichen das Unalltägliche, sagt Uwe Berger. So erinnert er sich eigener Kindheitserlebnisse im okkupierten polnischen Kleczew. So besucht er die Heimat seiner Frau in Grimma und Umgebung. So findet er Rembrandt an der Newa. Und so steht er in Nowgorod vor der kargen Hinterlassenschaft örtlicher Partisanen. Das Grab von Puschkin im Swatogorski-Kloster rührt ihn angesichts der Ergriffenheit der Bevölkerung. Er betritt die Steppen und Wüsten Mittelasiens, ist bei den Kasachen, Ukrainern und Deutschen zu Gast, die sie besiedeln. Zu spüren ist seine Lust, das Gemeinsame im Andersartigen zu finden. Am Fuß des innerasiatischen Gebirgssystems Tienschan lernt er Lennart Meri kennen, der als estnischer Wissenschaftler auftritt und später einmal estnischer Staatspräsident sein wird.

A Million Steps

Travel & Adventure

Kurt Koontz thought he was well prepared for his 490-mile walking trip on the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. He was fit and strong. He had a good guidebook and all the right equipment. His pilgrim passport would grant him access to the shelter of hostels along the way. But all that, however helpful, did not begin to encompass the grandeur of his external or internal adventure. A Million Steps climbs over the high meadows of the Pyrenees, quests through the unceasing wind of the Meseta, and dances in the rains of Galicia. While following the yellow arrows that mark the route, Koontz also navigates through his personal history of addiction, recovery, and love. With outgoing humor and friendliness, he embraces the beauty of the countryside and joyful connections to other pilgrims from around the world. Part diary, part travelogue, A Million Steps is a journey within a journey all the way to the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela and beyond.

Guida al viaggio da Genova alla Terra Santa

Travel & Adventure

Nella primavera del 1358 Petrarca ricevette l’invito da Giovanni Mandelli, uomo d’arme ma di buona cultura, di recarsi con lui in Terra Santa in pellegrinaggio. Il poeta, che tra le altre cose soffriva il mal di mare, non se la sentì di affrontare il viaggio, che all’epoca era lungo e periglioso. Per accompagnarlo nell’avventura scrisse allora questa lettera. In realtà si tratta di un itinerario suddiviso in due parti. Una prima parte, da Genova a Napoli, che descrive luoghi effettivamente visitati da Petrarca nel corso della sua vita; una seconda, da Napoli a Gerusalemme e Alessandra d’Egitto, ricostruita esclusivamente sui testi degli storici e dei geografi. Nonostante questa eterogenea origine, il testo petrarchesco presenta comunque una sua compatta omogeneità. Di particolare interesse le pagine dedicate alla Campania, in cui il poeta si sofferma con cura a consigliare l’amico di visitare la grotta di Posillipo, l’antro della Sibilla e gli affreschi di Giotto (oggi perduti) presenti nella cappella reale di Castelnuovo. In questa occasione Petrarca definisce Giotto “il principe dei moderni pittori”. Un testo nel complesso importante, che dà modo a Petrarca di fare i conti con la tematica del viaggio, da sempre al centro delle sue epistole e delle sue preoccupazioni terrene. Testo latino a fronte

Signori, si cambia

Travel & Adventure

Il viaggio più affascinante è un viaggio antico, graduale, privato e sociale insieme: il viaggio in treno. I treni sono teatri, caffè, bazar. L'unico talk-show che non conosce crisi è quello che si replica quotidianamente sulle rotaie. La confidenza genera libertà: ci ha messo insieme il caso, ci dividerà una stazione. I treni aiutano a pensare. Tutti i grandi viaggi - dai pellegrinaggi cattolici al Grand Tour, dalla prima partenza con gli amici al viaggio di nozze - sono, in fondo, una scoperta di se stessi: il panorama che c'interessa sta dentro di noi. Il treno esenta da responsabilità, consente di restare passivi senza sentirsi pigri. Possiamo lavorare e riposare. Possiamo parlare, quando siamo stanchi di leggere. E sognare, quando siamo stanchi di parlare. L'autore ha un nome per tutto questo: la terapia dei binari. Dopo il bestseller La vita è un viaggio Beppe Severgnini ci conduce attraverso gli USA dall'Atlantico al Pacifico (due volte, passando da nord e passando da sud); segue le rotaie da Mosca a Lisbona; taglia l'Europa in verticale (da Berlino a Palermo) e l'Australia in orizzontale (da Sydney a Perth). Tra tutti - confessa - il viaggio più emozionante e istruttivo è quello che apre il volume. Gli USA attraversati col figlio ventenne, Antonio. Da Washington DC a Washington State, 8.000 km in treno, in bus, in automobile. "Un figlio, un papà e l'America: e nessun altro che disturba."
