A 3,000-mile Adventure on 52 Rides.

Between soaring mountains, across arid deserts, parched plains and valleys of fruit orchards and olive groves, down glittering coastlines and along viaducts towering above plunging ravines... there is no better way to see Spain than by train. Rail enthusiast Tom Chesshyre, author of Slow Trains to Venice, Ticket to Ride and Tales from the Fast Trains, hits the tracks once again to take in the country through carriage windows on a series of clattering rides beyond the popular image of "holiday Spain" (although he stops by in Benidorm and Torremolinos too).

From hidden spots in Catalonia, through the plains of Aragon and across the north coast to Santiago de Compostela, Chesshyre continues his journey via Madrid, the wilds of Extremadura, dusty mining towns, the cathedrals and palaces of Valencia and Granada, and finally to Seville, Andalusia's beguiling (and hot) capital. Encounters? Plenty. Mishaps? A lot.

Following the natural cycle of the year, The Land of Maybe captures the essence of 'slow life' on the 18 remote, mysterious islands which make up the Faroes in the North Atlantic.

Closer to the UK than Denmark, this fast disappearing world is home to a close-knit society where just 50,000 people share Viking roots and a language that is unlike any other in Scandinavia. We follow the arrival of the migratory birds, the over-wintering of the sheep and the way food is gathered and eaten in tune with the seasons. Buffeted by the weather and the demands of a volatile natural environment, people still hunt seabirds and herd pilot whales for a significant portion of their basic food needs.

This is not a travelogue, but a deeper exploration of how 'to be' in a tough landscape; a study of a people and a way of life that represents continuity and a deep connection to the past. The Land of Maybe offers not just a refuge from the freneticism of modern life, but lessons about where we come from and how we may find a balance in our lives.

Kunsten å høre hjerteslag er en usedvanlig vakker kjærlighetshistorie fra Burma, og første bok i en triologi.

Tin Win er en vellykket advokat i New York. Han er opprinnelig fra Burma, men hans amerikanske familie, kone og to barn, vet nesten ingenting om hans oppvekst og bakgrunn.

En dag like etter datteren Julia fått sin juridiske embetseksamen, forsvinner han uten et ord. Familien tvinges til å akseptere at det siste sporet slutter i Bangkok. Fire år senere finner Julia en førti år gammel kjærlighetsbrev som faren skrev til en ukjent kvinne i en landsby i Burma.

Hos Julia tennes håpet igjen og hun bestemmer seg for å oppsøke kvinnen i brevet. Når Julia ankommer den lille landsbyen i fjellene, ender hun opp i en fremmed verden.

Port and Kit Moresbury, a sophisticated American couple, are finding it more than a little difficult to live with each other. Endeavouring to escape this predicament, they set off for North Africa intending to travel through Algeria - uncertain of exactly where they are heading, but determined to leave the modern world behind.

The results of this casually taken decision are both tragic and compelling.

I denne ekstraordinære reportasjeboken, vender Kapka Kassabova tilbake til Bulgaria, landet hun emigrerte fra tjuefem år tidligere. Hun er der for å utforske grensen landet deler med Tyrkia og Hellas. Da hun var barn var det enklere å komme seg inn i Vesten her enn over Berlinmuren der det myldret av soldater og spioner. Kassabova kommer tilbake til en grense som har blitt formet av historiekreftene. Boken hennes består av utsøkte portretter av smuglere, skattejegere, botanikere og grensevakter. Det er også de fillete menn og kvinner som har vandret over Tyrkia fra Syria og Irak. Men det ser ut til å være ikke -menneskelige krefter i arbeid også her: Dette tett skogkledde landskapet er rikt på helbredende kilder og tragiske gravlunder, og den antikke verdens fortid er aldri langt unna.

Grensen er en glimrende, oppslukende reisefortelling som også viser frem skyggesiden av den kalde krigen og et skråblikk på migrasjonskrisen som plager Europa.

Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air is the true story of a 24-hour period on Everest, when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended in the worst single-season death toll in the peak's history.

In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall. Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of summit day, eight people were dead. Krakauer's book is at once the story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest landscape.

As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest trips throughout history. The author's own anguish over what happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads readers to ponder timeless questions.

One of the inspirations for the major motion picture Everest, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley.

"A mesmerising trip across Central Asia . . . A fascinating travelogue" Financial Times SHORTLISTED FOR EDWARD STANFORD/LONELY PLANET DEBUT TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR 2020 Erika Fatland takes the reader on a journey that is unknown to even the most seasoned globetrotter. The five former Soviet Republics' Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan all became independent when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. How have these countries developed since then? In the Kyrgyzstani villages Erika Fatland meets victims of the widely known tradition of bride snatching; she visits the huge and desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan where the Soviet Union tested explosions of nuclear bombs; she meets Chinese shrimp gatherers on the banks of the dried out Aral Sea and she witnesses the fall of a dictator. She travels incognito through Turkmenistan, a country that is closed to journalists. She meets exhausted human rights activists in Kazakhstan, survivors from the massacre in Osh in 2010, German Menonites that found paradise on the Kyrgyzstani plains 200 years ago. During her travels, she observes how ancient customs clash with gas production and she witnesses the underlying conflicts between ethnic Russians and the majority in a country that is slowly building its future in Nationalist colours. In these countries, that used to be the furthest border of the Soviet Union, life follows another pace of time. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the bleakness of Soviet architecture, Erika Fatland moves with her openness towards the people and the landscapes around her. A rare and unforgettable travelogue.

På vandring uten esel i Cevennene er en rik, underholdende og underfundig bok, i dialog med en av litteraturhistoriens største fortellere Rober Louis Stevenson.

Robert Louis Stevenson er kanskje mest kjent som forfatter av klassikerne Skatten på sjørøverøya og Dr. Jekyll og Mr. Hyde. Men han har også skrevet det som i dag regnes som en klassiker i friluftslitteraturen: På vandring med et esel i Cevennene utkom i 1879. I boken, som var en av Stevensons første, reflekterer han over den tolv dager lange turen han gikk gjennom det sørfranske landskapet, menneskene han møtte, og erfaringene han gjorde seg som eseldriver.

I 2017 får Alexander Leborg i oppdrag å oversette Robert Louis Stevensons klassiker På vandring med et esel i Cevennene. Helt siden Leborg leste boken for første gang, har han drømt om å komme til dette landskapet og gå den samme turen. Som ledd i forberedelsene velger han å gå i forfatterens fotspor. Leborg tar selv dagboksnotater underveis. Han er ingen erfaren vandringsmann, men hans betraktninger om livet på landeveien er kloke, entusiastiske og fulle av beundring for turen Stevenson tok nesten 140 år tidligere.
