Dresden feiert ganzjährig: Es swingt im Frühling beim Dixielandfestival und berauscht im Sommer mit Musikfestspielen und Filmnächten auf den Elbwiesen. Im Herbst locken Weinwanderungen und Stadtpartys und im Winter der älteste deutsche Striezelmarkt. Das deutsche Florenz, wie Gottfried Herder die Kunst- und Musikstadt an der Elbe nannte, zählt zu den vier begehrtesten Reisezielen Deutschlands. Wir besuchen den Zwinger und die Brühlschen Terrassen, und wandeln beim Trichtertrinken auf den Spuren der Gräfin Cosel. Carin Marquardt begrüßt uns in der Dresdener Staatsoperette, Jutta Kappel zeigt uns das Grüne Gewölbe und Harry Schumann führt uns in die Unterwelt der Kasematten. Ein Ausflug bringt uns mit der ältesten Raddampferflotte zu einem architektonischen Meisterwerk - dem Blauen Wunder. Die akustische Reise wird abgerundet durch einen Besuch in der lebendigen Neustadt mit ihren beliebten Cafés und Szenekneipen. Die Geschichten rund um den Zwinger und August den Starken, um Porzellan und Barockarchitektur wird durch die vielen Interviews mit Dresdnern zu einem lebendigen Stadtporträt, unterhaltsam und informativ zugleich.

Language: English

Release date: 10-11-14

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

The stories in this book are all true. Its author has been held up at gunpoint at night on a road in Guatemala and shot with a machine gun in the chest and shoulder in Vietnam. He's come close to dying of thirst in the Sahara and freezing to death in the Himalayas. He's contracted malaria and typhoid fever in Ethiopia and hepatitis in India. There have been accidents involving motorcycles and automobiles. He's had close calls involving lions (twice), elephants (three times) and a rhino (once). He's visited over a hundred countries, seen revolutions, famines, wars, and panty raids, feasted in palaces and fasted in caves. He's discovered paradises, been saved by dolphins, hopped freight trains, danced with an 108-year-old woman, swam with sharks, frequented whore houses and opium dens, and met a man capable of revealing God.

In the pages of this book you'll meet the queen of the Ecuadorian prison system, the Dalai Lama, Dick Cheney, a swami from Katmandu who makes his living picking up large stones with his penis, yak herders, tunnel rats, 300 pound go-go girls, deep sea divers, drug dealers, stock car drivers, Indonesian princes, Bolivian miners, beanheads, powder monkeys, hookers and saints. Between the stories the author gives advice to would-be travelers, describes six tropical paradises where you can live comfortably on five hundred dollars a month, and includes his personal lists of the best things in the world. Mr. Linnemeier hails from the Hoosier state. Today he treads the path of moderation, living contentedly in a small town, surrounded by friends and family. He claims to have abandoned most of his previous vices, and has the stated aim of dying peacefully in bed at ninety five. In his own words, "I'm not the kind of person that men automatically defer to. I don't usually make women's hearts beat faster when they see me across a crowded room."

Average American's 100 places to see before you die

This is the competitive travel by numbers style of travel. For me travel is about the characters and interactions not how many cool destinations I can rack up. This is a materialistic list that predictably includes coffee in Paris with the Herald Tribune, Jim Morrisons grave, Spiritual excursions to India etc. If you are into a Lonely Planet style 100/1000 places things to do list this is the book for you

Completely inspiring.. fascinating..

Told in his own voice, very naturally which just makes it soo easy to listen to.

Amazing! A must for anyone who loves to travel!

What made the experience of listening to How an Average Man Lived an Adventurous Life the most enjoyable?

The stories re-opened my love for adventure, reminded me of what is out there to discover and what we can all learn from seeing outside of the usual "box" that we live in.

What did you like best about this story?

The author's life experience is very colourful. You will not expect the range of tales you will come across in this book.

What about the narratorss performance did you like?

Very down to earth way of depicting the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I couldn't stop once I started listening!

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended!

Title: Everest 4/19/04 - Khumbu Icefall

Author: Joe Hughes, Liz Pace

Narrator: Joe Hughes, Liz Pace

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-19-04

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Liz Pace has arrived safe and sound at home in New Jersey. Now, Joe is climbing with his guide, JJ (Jeff Justman). In this dispatch, Joe talks about a rough time he had climbing through the Khumbu Icefall. Here, the glaciers are as big as trucks, and the climb between base camp (17,500 ft) and camp one (19,200 ft) is treacherous. After one of their first trips to establish camp one, Joe realized he was short on water. He became very dehydrated and struggled to make it back to base camp. Throughout the difficult journey back, Joe was inspired by all of the school-children and friends and family back home. He knew things were looking up when Joe Cocker's version of "I Get By with A Little Help From My Friends" and "I Feel Alright" started going through his head.

Title: Kingdoms in the Air

Subtitle: Dispatches from the Far Away

Author: Bob Shacochis

Narrator: P. J. Ochlan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-15-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Best known for his sweeping international and political fiction narratives - including The Woman Who Lost Her Soul, which won the Dayton Peace Prize and was finalist for the Pulitzer Prize - Bob Shacochis began his writing career as a pioneering journalist and contributing editor for Outside Magazine and Harper's. Kingdoms in the Air brings together the very best of Shacochis's culture and travel essays in one livewire collection that spans his global adventures and his life passions; from surfing, to his obsession with the South American dorado, to the time he went bushwhacking in Mozambique.

In the titular essay "Kingdoms", the longest work in the collection, Shacochis ventures to Nepal with his friend, the photographer Thomas Laird, who was the first foreigner to live in Nepal's kingdom of Mustang as the forbidden Shangri-la prepared to open its borders to trekkers and trade. When the two men return a decade after Laird first lived there, Shacochis observes in brilliantly evocative prose both the current cultural and political landscape of the country and the changes that his friend has to reconcile with.

Replete with Shacochis's signature swagger, humor, and crystalline wisdom, Kingdoms in the Air is a majestic and essential collection from one of our most important writers.

Critic Reviews:

"Shacochis has extended his knowledge and imagination into places most of us have never ventured." (Washington Post)

Members Reviews:

Not up to Pico Iyer

I was hoping to read another Video Night in Khatmandu, but this was far less interesting. I found it to be glib and leaking is substance.

Informative and Poetic

Shacochi's political analysis of developing nations is enlightening and complex at the same time. His ability to look into the contradictions and non sequiturs that abound at the crossroads of ancient culture and encroaching industrialization is acute; I came away fully convinced that I had visited and been immersed in these obscure and sometimes dangerous corners of the world. His descriptions of the island of Providence, as well as his musings on the American military-industrial complex at the end of this travelogue, were scintillating and some of the best prose I've ever read. And I'm an English Literature major! I don't have to board a jet and suffer through en route turbulence or breach dangerous war zones to travel the world--with this book, I can do that vicariously. And come away with a deeper more comprehensive knowledge of world politics at the same time!

grabs you right from the start

Kingdoms in the Air grabs you right from the start and pulls you along on the authors far off notable adventures. I fully connected with Bob's irreverent, in your face writing style. Looking forward to reading more!

Great... almost all the way through

The portion on Nepal was great, but some of the rest was a little preachy and self serving

One Star

never could get my mind into these adventures
