Story
Um die Vorzüge und Nachteile einer Auswanderung in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika möglichst lebensnah jenseits aller Klischees der Öffentlichkeit zu Verfügung zu stellen, entschließt sich der Ich-Erzähler (die Unkosten werden von einem Verlag getragen) die typische Auswanderungs-Route von Hamburg per Schiff nach New York zu unternehmen und für einige Zeit dort privat zu verweilen. Im zweiten Teil erreichen wir "die Insel der Tränen", auf welcher sich Passagiere der 2ten und 3ten Klasse indiskreten Fragen und ruppigem Verhalten der amerikanischen Zollbehörden ausgesetzt sehen.

Story
In Die Frauen von Capri – Das Lied vergangener Sommer erzählt SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Antonia Riepp von vier Frauen, einer unerwarteten Erbschaft und einem alten Verbrechen. Weite Himmel, türkisfarbene Wellen und steile Felsen – die Trauminsel Capri hat auch ihre Abgründe. Und in diesem 2. Band von Antonia Riepps Capri-Reihe wird Italiens schönste Insel zur farbenprächtigen Kulisse für einen packenden Urlaubsschmöker. Herrschaftlich, strahlend weiß und wunderschön – von der Villa des Sängers Carlo Romano, hoch oben auf den steilen Felsen Capris, kann man bis dorthin sehen, wo türkisfarbenes Meer und blauer Himmel eins werden

Story
The countryside is almost sacred to many Britons. There is a depth of feeling about rural places, the moors and lochs, valleys and mountains, cottages and country houses. Yet the British countryside, so integral to our national identity, is rarely seen as having anything to do with British colonialism. In Our Island Stories, Corinne Fowler brings rural life and colonial rule together with transformative results. Through ten country walks with varied companions, Fowler combines local and global history, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton.

Story
Rome. What do you associate with this city? - Do you think Rome is the Eternal City? The city that you feel has always been there? The city that fascinated and accompanied you in your Latin lessons? Is Rome for you the city where the ancient Romans strolled across the Roman Forum and gladiators fought fierce battles in the Colosseum? Would you like to get to know the city where the great emperors such as Caesar or Augustus ruled and do you dream of one day walking in the footsteps of Romulus and Remus, the founding fathers of Rome.

Story
Pamela Mulloy has always loved train travel. Whether returning to the Maritimes every year with her daughter on the Ocean, or taking her family across Europe to Poland, trains have been a linchpin of her life. As COVID locked us down, Mulloy began an imaginary journey that recalled the trips she has taken, as well as those of others.
