Ja, ich bin endlich in dieser Hauptstadt der Welt angelangt! Wenn ich sie in guter Begleitung, angeführt von einem recht verständigen Manne, vor fünfzehn Jahren gesehen hätte, wollte ich mich glücklich preisen. Sollte ich sie aber allein, mit eignen Augen sehen und besuchen, so ist es gut, dass mir diese Freude so spät zuteil ward. Über das Tiroler Gebirg bin ich gleichsam weggezogen. Verona, Vicenz, Padua, Venedig habe ich gut, Ferrara, Cento, Bologna flüchtig und Florenz kaum gesehen.

Früh drei Uhr stahl ich mich aus Karlsbad, weil man mich sonst nicht fortgelassen hätte. Die Gesellschaft, die den achtundzwanzigsten August, meinen Geburtstag, auf eine sehr freundliche Weise feiern mochte, erwarb sich wohl dadurch ein Recht, mich festzuhalten; allein hier war nicht länger zu säumen. Ich warf mich ganz allein, nur einen Mantelsack und Dachsranzen aufpackend, in eine Postchaise und gelangte halb acht Uhr nach Zwota, an einem schönen stillen Nebelmorgen. Die oberen Wolken streifig und wollig, die untern schwer. Mir schienen das gute Anzeichen.

Venice waits for you. It is the home of the artist, the writer, adventurer or madman (depending on how you look at it) for thousands of years. Their spirit abides, Marco Polo, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Christie… haunting the canals, which demand exploration and defy explorers.

In 1987, Robert Harris happened upon an unusual job posting in the local paper—a new warden service was being set up on the island of Skellig Michael, and the deadline was imminent.

Herzlich willkommen zu unserer gemeinsamen meditativ-spirituellen Reise auf dem Jakobsweg! Den Jakobsweg kennt jeder. Der Sage nach war im 9. Jahrhundert Bischof Theodemir der Erste, der von einem Eremiten unter Beobachtung der hellsten Sterne zur Grabstätte des Heiligen Jakobus geführt wurde. Der berühmteste Jakobsweg ist der Camino Frances, den auch wir für unsere Reise zum Ziel, Santiago de Compostela in Nordspanien, ausgewählt haben. Der Name Jakobsweg wurde nach Sankt Jakob, einem der 12 Apostel Jesu Christi, benannt.

Most come on a holiday for a few days, a week perhaps, maybe a little longer, but I longed for more (desiderio di più): more of the language, more of the culture, more of the people. Italians have a way of making something more exotic out of life, more adventurous, lovelier, and more relaxing. In Italy, to me, even hanging laundry is beautiful, as it stretches from end to end between buildings. As I take photos in this grand city, I try to capture the endless majesty of her churches, monuments, and people. It is becoming therapeutic.

Der Postillon schlief ein, und die Pferde liefen den schnellsten Trab bergunter, immer auf dem bekannten Wege fort; kamen sie an ein eben Fleck, so ging es desto langsamer. Der Führer wachte auf und trieb wieder an, und so kam ich sehr geschwind, zwischen hohen Felsen, an dem reißenden Etschfluss hinunter. Der Mond ging auf und beleuchtete ungeheuere Gegenstände. Einige Mühlen zwischen uralten Fichten über dem schäumenden Strom waren völlige Everdingen.

In the summer of 1957, anxious to impress an admirer who had moved to Paris, while rebelling against her family, Gill Johnson, aged twenty-five, gave up her comfortable job at the National Gallery in London and travelled to Venice to take up a job teaching English to an aristocratic Italian family. Love from Venice is her vivid evocation of that summer, the last hurrah of the European Grand Tour, when the international jet set lit upon the city for their fun.

Travelling a thousand miles and across three billion years, Christopher Somerville (walking correspondent of The Times and author of Coast, The January Man and Ships of Heaven) sets out to interrogate the land beneath our feet, and how it has affected every aspect of human history from farming to house construction, the Industrial Revolution to the current climate crisis.

Some years ago a stash of family records was handed down to Michael Palin, among which were photos of an enigmatic young man in army uniform, as well as photos of the same young man as a teenager looking uncomfortable at family gatherings. This, Michael learnt, was his Great-Uncle Harry, born in 1884, died in 1916. He had previously had no idea that he had a Great-Uncle Harry, much less that his life was cut short at the age of 32 when he was killed in the Battle of the Somme. The discovery both shocked him and made him want to know much more about him.
