Graphic USA

Visiting an unfamiliar city is usually best when you have a guide, a knowledgeable local pal who can show you the hidden treasures of his or her hometown. In the most ideal scenario, this friend would be motivated by sensibilities similar to your own–which is why so many traditional travel guidebooks, with their emphasis on well-trod landmarks and obvious institutions, are of such limited utility to travelers with offbeat tastes. But this is no typical guidebook. Abundantly illustrated and...

Revenge of the Saguaro

Tom Miller

Revenge of the Saguaro

Tom Miller's Southwest is a vortex of cockfights and cantinas, of black velvet paintings and tacky bolo ties, of eco-militants, border-crossers, and eccentric characters whose outlook is as spare and elemental as the desert that surrounds them. This is Miller's turf. With wit and insight, he reveals how the clichés of romanticism and capitalism have run amuck in his homeland. When a saguaro cactus outside Phoenix kills its own assassin, it becomes clear that no other guide...

Die Autorin von Romanen, Novellen und Reisebeschreibungen besteigt 1828 in Bonn beängstigt und gleichzeitig beeindruckt ein Dampfschiff, empört sich über englische Touristen und erholt sich kurend in Bad Godesberg. In Köln schaudert es ihr beim Anblick der Dom-Ruine, die Schriftstellerin empört sich über Unrat und Gestank und kapituliert vor der Kölner Mundart. Lediglich...

Mit Johann Pezzl durch Bayern

Johann Pezzls «Reise durch den Baierischen Kreis» von 1784 ist der Versuch eines radikalen Aufklärers, die sozialen Missstände dort anzuprangern. Der im Wiener Exil lebende Schriftsteller besucht neben Passau, Straubing, Regensburg und Landshut auch Ingolstadt, und ist entsetzt über die dortige Universität. In Augsburg belustigt ihn das Nebeneinander der beiden christlichen Konfessionen, allein München verdient höchste Anerkennung. Pezzl schildert anekdotenhaft absonderliche Gebräuche, erklärt,...

Alexander von Humboldt

Mit Alexander von Humboldt nach Teneriffa (Gekürzt)

Alexander von Humboldts Startpunkt zur «Reise in die Aequinoctial-Gegenden des neuen Kontinents» war Teneriffa. Prostituierte versuchen, sein Schiff zu stürmen, die betrunkenen einheimischen Führer auf den Vulkan Pico del Teide entsorgen heimlich seine Steinproben. Der deutsche Entdecker spricht über die Urbevölkerung der «Guanchen» ebenso wie über die einzigartig schöne Vegetation auf dem Eiland. Das Alltagsleben der wenigen Tausend Einwohner Teneriffas beschreibt er jedoch als ärmlich und ist...

Oma Honig (Ungekürzt)

Wer behauptet, dass 6jährige zu klein für Abenteuer sind, der hat wirklich keine Ahnung. Als erstes stürzt Bennis Großmutter auf der steilen Kellertreppe und kann alleine nicht mehr aufstehen. Natürlich will Benni helfen, aber wie war das gleich nochmal – erst den Notruf oder doch die Mama im Büro anrufen? Und wo waren zum Kuckuck die Telefonnummern? Schon prima, dass Benni eine Freundin wie Pepa hat – auch wenn die niemand sehen kann, weil sie aus Glas ist. Als Benni und Pepa dann auch noch für...

Der Zauberschlüssel (Ungekürzt)

Früh morgens, die Vögel zwitschern, ein junger Wanderer kommt den Berg herab durch den Wald, vorbei an bemoosten Steinen und uralten Eichen – das bin ich: «Wandern ist eigentlich nicht so mein Ding, aber ich hatte einen Auftrag von meinem Zaubermeister – einen geheimen Auftrag! In unserem Beruf ist vieles geheim. Mein Meister war in Besitz eines alten und sehr wertvollen Schlüssels, der wahrscheinlich von einem der größten Zauberer der Weltgeschichte gemacht wurde. Nach 77 Jahren musste dieser...
