Jede Reise kann ein kleines Abenteuer sein – bei dem es aber nicht darum geht, möglichst schnell irgendwo anzukommen. Denn: Der Weg ist das Ziel. Genau das ist die Idee des Slow Travel, des langsamen Reisens. Wer sich beim Unterwegssein Zeit nimmt zum Entdecken, zum Innehalten und Staunen, kann bewusster die Schönheit und Vielfalt unserer Welt erleben. Gleichzeitig ist diese Art zu Reisen viel klimafreundlicher. Statt schneller Verkehrsmittel nutzt man den Zug, das Fahrrad oder die eigenen Füße. Dieses Buch stellt 40 aufregende Slow-Travel-Reiserouten auf der ganzen Welt vor: Von der entspannten Bootsfahrt auf dem Mississippi über die Fahrradtour durch neun Länder entlang der Ostseeküste bis zur Zugfahrt in die wolkenverhangenen Berge Argentiniens. Und es erinnert immer wieder an den Zauber der kleinen Dinge, der jeden Ort zu etwas Besonderem macht – wenn wir nur genau hinsehen.

Crusading kings such as Louis IX of France and Richard I of England exert a unique hold on our historical imagination. For this reason, it can be easy to forget that European rulers were not always eager participants in holy war. The First Crusade was launched in 1095, and yet the first monarch did not join the movement until 1146, when the French king Louis VII took the cross to lead the Second Crusade. One contemporary went so far as to compare the crusades to 'Creation and man's redemption on the cross', so what impact did fifty years of non-participation have on the image and practice of European kingship and the parameters of cultural development? Constructing kingship considers this question by examining the challenge to political authority that confronted the French kings and their family members as a direct result of their failure to join the early crusades, and their less-than-impressive involvement in later ones.

Weil die Französischlehrerin mit dem Priester durchgebrannt ist, sucht Little Cove nun eine neue Lehrkraft. Rachel O’Brien vom Festland bekommt den Job: theoretisch Katholikin (immerhin getauft), theoretisch Lehrerin (immerhin abgeschlossenes Studium). Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters braucht sie dringend einen Neuanfang – und den möglichst weit weg. Dass ihre Schülerinnen kein Französisch lernen wollen, überrascht Rachel nicht. Dass sie deren Englisch kaum versteht, schon. Und doch ist sie fasziniert von der Kultur und Musik der Insel. Mit ihrem Kollegen Doug geht sie zum Fischen und ins örtliche Pub. Während sie sich in Little Cove zunehmend wohler fühlt, kommt sie auch Doug immer näher. Doch der ist vergeben … Als sie einer Schülerin mit einem vermeintlich guten Ratschlag zur Seite steht und damit die sehr katholische Moral einiger Dorfbewohner verletzt, steht ihr neues Leben wieder auf der Kippe. Ist sie zu weit gegangen? Gibt es für sie eine Zukunft in Little Cove – und vielleicht auch mit Doug? Ein Roman wie eine warme Umarmung – das Debüt von Damhnait Monaghan ist voller Romantik, Charme und Inselgefühl. Lassen Sie sich von Rachel und Neufundland verzaubern!
