In his small New England hometown, Mark Vanhoenacker spent his childhood dreaming of elsewhere—of the distant, real cities he found on the illuminated globe in his bedroom, and of one perfect metropolis that existed only in his imagination.

Teilweise Auszug aus meinem Buch "Tumor ist wenn man trotzdem lacht!". Es geschah während des künstlichen Komas, nach meiner Gehirntumor-OP. Hier erlebte ich meinen eigenen Tod.

Aber auch noch ein weiteres Erlebnis, das sich zuvor ereignete, hat mich fasziniert und bis heute bei mir eine nachhaltige Wirkung hinterlassen.

Iversen kom ud for, da de ufrivilligt måtte tilbringe tre år i den nordøstgrønlandske ødemark. Med sirlig håndskrift og nedskrevet på store folioark har Ejnar Mikkelsen også i en række breve til sin far og mor givet nogle mere personlige beskrivelser af opholdet i Grønland.

Peaks and Lamas is one of the classic early 20th-century accounts of travelling in the Himalayas on the borders of Tibet. It describes two journeys in the 1930s, one physically active and one more of spiritual investigation.

The audiobook ends with a warning of the deleterious effect of Western culture on traditional art and values and an idealistic polemic on education.
