Story
From a magical childhood in Kenya, through misery at an American high school, to rescue by an inspirational teacher in England, Victoria Whitworth weaves a sublimely rich narrative, which is both an ode to her beloved Greece and Corfu, and a highly original exploration of myth and legend. Her adventures in the often weird and unsettling world of a Corinth English language school, and the shattering experience of her rape by a Greek taxi driver, lead Victoria to question some deeply familiar stories.

From this pairing comes “the possibility of seeing anew, of examining how we make and assign meaning.” The essays in this year’s Best American Food and Travel Writing circle the world—from Dakar in Senegal, to Michoacán in south-central Mexico, to the Camino de Santiago in Spain—and deepen our understanding of our place in it.

Meet Chris Stewart, the eternal optimist. A man who flies to Spain, sees a peasant farm on the wrong side of the river and, with scarcely a second thought, hands over a cash deposit. And then finds he has acquired not just the farm, but the farmer, too, who has no intention of leaving. Not to mention the lack of running water, electricity or even a bridge.

Story
This is what it is like to sail an ocean alone. Not the world-girdling marathon of the Southern Ocean racers or the “cruise in company” as part of a trade-wind rally, but what it is really like to set off for 3,496 miles from the British Virgin Islands to Falmouth in the UK, totally alone. That means no contact with the shore, no high-frequency radio or satphone. No weather forecasts, no texts from loved ones. No news…Just complete and uninterrupted isolation for 44 days. In other words, this is singlehanded ocean sailing at its purest: One man in a world shrunk to its bare essentials.

Story
MIT ENDE 40 bricht Geertje Marquardt aus ihrem Familienalltag als zweifache Mutter auf, um einen Lebenstraum zu verwirklichen: eine 550 Kilometer lange Überquerung des grönländischen Inlandeises auf Skiern. Sie erzählt von schwierigen Vorbereitungen, körperlichen Herausforderungen und persönlichen Zerreißproben. Von der Angst vor Eisbären, von tosenden Stürmen und dem Kampf mit den inneren Dämonen. Vor allem aber von ihrer tiefen Liebe zu Schnee und Eis und der fast schmerzhaft schönen Sehnsucht nach der klaren Weite des arktischen Horizonts.

Ernest Hemingways berühmtes Zitat „Es gibt eine amerikanische Literatur vor Mark Twain und eine danach, denn nichts was davor da war noch etwas was danach kommt ist damit vergleichbar“ wird durch die Unterwegs und Daheim-Reihe wunderbar bestätigt.

Story
While serving on a mission trip to Rwanda, I wrote the affirmations contained in this book. It was my first time to the continent, on the heels of a broken relationship. As I watched the people of the land, I noticed something peculiar. It was gratitude. A radical and divine idea occurred to me in that moment. I am loved, I am ordained and I belong on this planet at this time. A lifetime of seeking to prove I belong had distracted me from that realization.

Auf der Suche nach Inspiration und dem in Einklang bringen seiner Gedanken mit der eigenen Kunst und der der griechischen Antike begibt sich Hofmannsthal zur Wiege aller demokratischen Gesellschaftsordnungen – nach Griechenland. Die Reise verläuft allerdings alles andere als, sagen wir, vorauszusehen war, denn der Besuch zweier traditionell-orthodoxer Glaubenseinrichtungen erzeugt eine nicht unbedingt gewünschte nachhaltige Wirkung in Form eines transzendentalen Traumzustands.
