Campen ist toll, es ist für viele zu einer bevorzugten Freizeit- und sogar Lebensform geworden. Am schönsten ist es, mit dem Wohnmobil zu reisen. Aber wenn man dieses Buch gelesen ist, weiß man: am allerschönsten ist es zusammen mit zwei Französischen Bulldoggen namens Odin und Frieda. Die beiden berichten hier von Reisen durch Schleswig-Holstein und nach Schweden, wobei der herrlich skurrile Blick, den die beiden Vierbeiner auf die Menschen haben, belustigt und ihre Fähigkeit, ihre Umwelt mit allen Sinnen zu erkunden, das Campingerlebnis noch intensiver macht. Natürlich erfährt man auch viel von den bereisten Ländern. Also: Bullys an Bord und los geht's!

Les singularités judiciaires sont nombreuses et variées au moyen âge, et souvent les magistrats interviennent dans des circonstances si bizarres, que nous avons peine à comprendre, nos jours, comment ces graves organes de la justice ont pu raisonnablement figurer dans de telles affaires. Toutefois notre but n¿est pas de critiquer ici des sages plus ou moins absurdes, mais d¿en constater simplement l¿existence. Nous bornons notre rôle { raconter les faits, sauf au lecteur à en tirer lui-même les conséquences. Plusieurs siècles nous séparent de l¿époque dont nous cherchons { étudier les m¿urs et les idées, qui forment avec les nôtres de si étranges disparates ; aussi n¿est-ce qüaprès de scrupuleuses recherches faites dans les ouvrages des jurisconsultes et des historiens les plus respectables, que nous avons osé présenter cette rapide esquisse.

Il était près de huit heures lorsque Michel Berthier Lautrec rentra. Sa femme commençait à s¿inquiéter.« Pourquoi ne vous êtes-vous pas mis à table sans moi ? dit Michel avec humeur. ¿ Nous avons préféré t¿attendre, dit Mme Berthier Lautrec de sa voix douce. D¿ailleurs, les enfants n¿avaient pas faim, ni moi non plus. ¿ N¿importe ! Une fois pour toutes, je t¿ai dit que je ne voulais pas qüon m¿attendît.¿ Bien, mon ami. On ne t¿attendra plus. Mon petit Henri, veux-tu sonner pour qüon serve ? » Ce n¿était pas la première fois que pareille scène de ménage se passait chez les Berthier-Lautrec. Depuis quelque temps, le caractère de Michel, plutôt gai, s¿était aigri. Presque chaque soir il rapportait à la maison un front assombri, dînait sans prononcer une parole, puis, le café pris, il se levait de table et allait s¿enfermer dans son cabinet, où il restait à veiller jusqüà une heure avancée de la nuit.

Every individual must look within themselves to decide what will make their life truly spectacular. For the author it is all about travel: the excitement of discovery and learning along the way and capturing those moments in an equally spectacular image.This book tells the story of the author's travels throughout his life with an emphasis on his love of photography and the national parks. It traces his journey from childhood, when he first experienced the time-honored road trip with his parents, through his military service, overseas and in the U.S., along with his many years in corporate America, each presenting him with new and unique travel opportunities. The wake-up call of a cancer diagnosis set him on the path to his most exciting adventures yet. He left his job, downsized his life, and moved into an RV to make travel his full-time focus rather than a thing he did only on vacation. He set a goal to visit and photograph all fifty-nine (at the time) national parks. Well on his way toward this goal, he experienced a major setback after an early-morning fire destroyed his RV and all his possessions, forcing him to rebuild his life to stay on the path to finishing his goal.

Camino Primitivo - primitiver Weg? Weit gefehlt! Die buchstabengetreue Übersetzung führt in die Irre. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Dieser Weg verlangt mir Einiges an physischer und mentaler Energie ab. Belohnt werde ich durch den Genuss atemberaubender Landschaften sowie die Vertiefung von Beziehungen - jenseits von zufälligen Begegnungen - im ersten Teil zum Fußball Kollegen und im zweiten Teil zur Lebenspartnerin. Dazu die beruhigende Erkenntnis: Auch nach über zwölf Jahren Faszination spanischer Jakobswege gibt es neben angenehm Bewährtem auch Neues zu entdecken...

This strange, topsy-turvey country, not content with having fruit with stones on the outside, has made the unique experiment of handing over its government to its peasantry! Other lands have at times fallen under the sway of the hoi-polloi, but this has always been temporary, and the result of some hysterical upheaval. But in Australia this has not been the case. The electors calmly and deliberately voted the Labour Party into power in April, 1910, and, since then, two of the six ridiculous States that this country of four and a-half millions has divided itself into have also calmly and deliberately decided, by majorities, to entrust their national guidance to butchers and bakers and candlestick-makers. That any body of people should do this¿even in a country where every man and woman, irrespective of education, wealth, or social position has a vote¿seems unintelligible to the English visitor. It certainly was unintelligible to me at first. It grew more of a mystery when I saw and heard several of the Labour leaders. Then I saw and heard the Liberal leaders, and I no longer wondered.

Persons who have yet to make their acquaintance with the early history of New South Wales will learn with surprise that the colony had been founded for almost a quarter of a century before the Blue Mountain barrier was crossed. For so long a period it was scarcely possible to proceed more than forty miles from Sydney in any direction. Many a despairing look must those early settlers have cast on the frowning ramparts of the range, which, leaving only a narrow margin between itself and the sea, threatened to convert the cradle of the colony into a Procrustes' bed, to which its dimensions would have to conform in the future, as they had done in the past. This sense of confinement was the harder to bear that it was met with in a land of freedom; and many a time did the caged eagle dash itself with fruitless rage against the bars of its prison. A record of the unsuccessful attempts to get beyond the main range would form a heroic chapter of our history, and one, too, of which we might well feel proud, if there is any truth in the saying that in great undertakings it is glorious even to fail. Within four months after the arrival of the "first fleet" our annals present a picture of Governor Phillip and party struggling laboriously westward to the gorges of the mountains.

Der Abschied von unserem Berufsleben stand unmittelbar bevor, eine Zeit des Umbruchs, in der lang ersehnte Träume endlich Realität werden konnten. Es war, als hätten wir einen Neustart-Knopf gedrückt und ein neues Kapitel in unserem Leben aufgeschlagen.Jetzt haben wir die Freiheit, es nach unseren eigenen Vorstellungen zu gestalten. Mit jedem Schritt entfernten wir uns von unserem alten Leben, und wohin genau uns dieser Weg führte, war weniger wichtig als die gewählte Richtung. Weg von den Fesseln der Regeln, Normen und Pflichten, weg von der Hektik und dem Lärm des Alltags. Unsere neue Freiheit gleicht einem unbeschriebenen Buch, jeder Tag eine leere Seite, die darauf wartet, von uns gestaltet zu werden. Und eines ist sicher: Es wird eine Reise voller Überraschungen und Entdeckungen sein.Unser Neubeginn führte uns an das "Ende der Welt". Dieser Sehnsuchtsort war für uns lange Zeit mehr ein Symbol für entlegene, unberührte Gebiete fernab der Zivilisation als eine konkrete geografische Region. Das "Ende der Welt" fanden wir schließlich im tiefen Süden des amerikanischen Kontinents. Wie zwei Nomaden durchstreiften wir die faszinierende, mystische Stille und Abgeschiedenheit Patagoniens und Feuerlands. Zu Fuß und weit entfernt von dem sicheren, vorhersehbaren Leben zu Hause. Die Einsamkeit und Stille dieser Orte gaben uns Raum und Zeit zum Nachdenken ...
