Almost anyone growing up in an English-speaking culture knows the story of The Tortoise and the Hare.

Publisher's Summary:

When Gaspare Galati took over management of the Fondo Riella in 1872, he knew he was in for a headache. The ten-acre lemon and tangerine farm just outside of Palermo should have been a prime piece of property, bringing its owner a slice of the booming citrus market that had northwest Sicily overflowing with wealth. Instead, it seemed cursed. Galatis late brother-in-law, who had left him charge of the farm, had died of a heart attack after receiving a series of mysterious, threatening letters. And everyone knew that the farms warden, Benedetto Carollo, had been stealing more than his share of the profits for years.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

15.000 Kilometer auf dem Motorrad - von Deutschland nach Vietnam. Ein langer und kräftezehrender Road-Trip, der als fixe Idee im beschaulichen Schwerte beginnt und wird später zur humanitären Großaktion wird. Peter Maffay ist so begeistert von Lothars sozialem Engagement, dass er Schirmherr seiner Charity-Aktionen wird.

In der Folge überschlagen sich die Ereignisse, zwischenzeitlich ist Lothar "Vater" von über 70 Patenkindern weltweit. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Jürgen legt er den Grundstein für die "Stars of Vietnam". Ein Verein, der blinde Kinder in Vietnam unterstützt.

Von Chu, seinem Reisebegleiter in China, hat Lothar einmal einen Satz gehört, der ihn bis heute beschäftigt: "Mao ging den langen Marsch, von 1935 bis 1936. Er durchquerte dabei sein China und sagte danach: Ein kleines Feuer kann eine ganze Grassteppe anzünden."

Die PDF-Datei enthält eine umfangreiche Dokumentation der beschriebenen Ereignisse mit zahlreichen Bildern und ergänzenden Infos.

Kritik Bewertungen:

Ich unterstütze sehr gerne die Aktionen von Lothar Baltrusch. In einer kurz- und schnelllebigen Zeit ist es besonders wichtig auch an andere Menschen zu denken.

-- Peter Maffay

Lothar ist ein Mensch mit sehr großem Herzen. In seinem Hörbuch lässt er uns intensiv daran teilhaben, wie eng seine Projekte in Vietnam mit seiner persönlichen Veränderung und seinen Extremreisen verknüpft sind. Wer bei diesem Hörbuch ungerührt bleibt, der ist vermutlich aus Stein.

-- Patrick Lynen (Die Runde Ecke im WDR)

Knapp zwei Monate Fahrt, weit über 15.000 Kilometer: Lothar Baltrusch ist mit seinem Motorrad bis Vietnam gefahren, um sein Patenkind Thi Thao Huyen zu besuchen und das Projekt, in dem sie lebt, mit Spenden zu unterstützen. Nun ist er zurück in Schwerte - und hat noch viel mehr vor.

Título: Los funerales en la Indonesia profunda

Subtitular: Tana Toraja, una región diferente

Autor: María Esther Estrada Martínez de Alva

Narrador: María Esther Estrada Martínez de Alva

Formato: Unabridged

Duración: 22 mins

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 06-02-17

Editor: ILO TEMPORE, B.V.

Categorías: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Resumen del editor:

La región de los Toraja se encuentra enclavada en la zona montañosa de la isla indonesia de Célebes. Aún hoy es complicado llegar ya que sólo está comunicada por tierra y el trayecto desde el aeropuerto más cercano toma ocho horas por unas carreteras angostas y sinuosas. Sin embargo, vale la pena el viaje.

Lo que encontré fue una comunidad cristiana (la mayoría protestante) muy sencilla, cuyo medio básico de subsistencia es el cultivo del arroz, pero que mantiene una firme creencia en la importancia de los funerales como medio para llegar con dignidad al mundo de los espíritus, a "Puyá". Los rituales alrededor de los sepelios, el lugar que juegan los búfalos de agua y los sitios que se eligen como última morada siguen unas costumbres únicas en el mundo. Este es el relato de una visita a esta fascinante comunidad.

Opiniones de los miembros:

Una cultura tan diferente...

Fue sumamente interesante adentrarme en esta lectura y conocer las tradiciones de la región de los Toraja. Sobre todo porque es una cultura tan diferente a la que conozco, que me fue inevitable sentirme atraída a continuar la lectura y procurar entender más su estilo de vida, especialmente cuando se trata de las costumbres que giran en torno a los funerales. Como los demás libros de María Esther, sentí que la acompañé durante toda su travesía.

Muy interesante

El libro, en una forma sucinta, me llevó a la Indonesia profunda, como la llama la autora. Fue un viaje sin viajar. Agradable y enriquecedor. Conocí unas tradiciones funerarias que nunca hubiera imaginado.
