Diese bemerkenswerte Sammlung aus über 30 Jahren fotografischer Arbeit vereint Sebastião Salgados kraftvolle Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder Afrikas in einem Band. Die Aufnahmen erzählen die Geschichte eines Kontinents, der von Unruhen verwüstet wurde und doch unermesslich reich ist an Geschichte und Kultur. Mit Verständnis und Demut zeigt uns Salgado einige sehr unterschiedliche Regionen, die im Angesicht ökologischer und humanitärer Krisen überleben.

I'm Off Then has sold more than three million copies in Germany and has been translated into eleven languages. The number of pilgrims along the Camino has increased by 20 percent since the book was published. Hape Kerkeling's spiritual journey has struck a chord. Overweight, overworked, and disenchanted, Kerkeling was an unlikely candidate to make the arduous pilgrimage across the Pyrenees to the Spanish shrine of St. James, a 1,200-year-old journey undertaken by nearly 100,000 people every year. But he decided to get off the couch and do it anyway. Lonely and searching for meaning along the way, he began the journal that turned into this utterly frank, engaging book. Filled with unforgettable characters, historic landscapes, and Kerkeling's self-deprecating humor, I'm Off Then is an inspiring travelogue, a publishing phenomenon, and a spiritual journey unlike any other.

Despite the perils that faced the medieval traveller, not to mention the formidable length of time that many journeys could take, large numbers of people were on the move. From Viking seafarers and migrating hoards to kings and queens on royal progressions and ordinary men and women on their pilgrimage, this book demonstrates just how many different groups of people travelled in Europe and even to other continents. In this informative and well-presented study, Norbert Ohler considers in turn the different motivations that drove people, including the involuntary type, the forms of transportation, the places of hospitality en route, the dangers and the protection. Seafarers, missionaries, mobile royal courts, Saxons and Vikings, wandering bishops and popes, crusaders, soldiers, pilgrims, explorers to Asia, Columbus, roaming scholars, poets and artists are all considered.
