Travels with Herodotus
Travels with Herodotus records how Kapuscinski set out on his first forays - to India, China and Africa - with the great Greek historian constantly in his pocket. He sees Louis Armstrong in Khartoum, visits Dar-es-Salaam, arrives in Algiers in time for a coup when nothing seems to happen (but he sees the Mediterranean for the first time). At every encounter with a new culture, Kapuscinski plunges in, curious and observant, thirsting to understand its history, its thought, its people. And he reads Herodotus so much that he often feels he is embarking on two journeys - the first his assignment as a reporter, the second following Herodotus' expeditions.

Мустанг - королевство Ло на границе времен
Мустанг, или Ло, как называют расположенное на севере Непала королевство местные жители, - одно из тех редких мест, где жива уникальная культура, сложившаяся еще в Средние века. Изоляция от внешнего мира, естественно-географическая и затем насильственно-политическая, привели к тому, что здесь сохранился вековой уклад жизни, пока лишь слегка приправленный артефактами современности.

Только в 1991 году Мустанг был открыт для туристов, причем годовая квота посетителей - не более одной тысячи человек. Но и эта цифра кажется огромной, если учесть, что все нынешнее население не превышает семи тысяч. А создаваемый веками баланс между природой и хозяйством, общиной и личностью, верой и испытанием очень хрупок и легко может быть нарушен или даже полностью уничтожен.

Сейчас, когда эта страна, некогда затерянная на высоте нескольких тысяч метров, гостеприимно распахнула двери для внешнего мира, очень важно, кто и с какой целью будет приезжать. Войдет ли в этот маленький замкнутый мир гость, готовый быть доброжелательным наблюдателем чужой жизни и способный ценить хрупкость этого мира. Или это будет равнодушный обыватель, бесцеремонно вторгающийся в ее тихое бытие.

Не хотелось бы думать, что этот фотоальбом запечатлел уходящую натуру. Как рассказали Иван Дементиевский и Владимир Афанасенко, участники фотоэкспедиции в Мустанг, состоявшейся осенью 2007 года, не так давно королевский двор был озабочен проблемой, где найти деньги на то, чтобы починить канал, проводящий воду к Ло Мантангу, столице Королевства. Не менее остро перед жителями Мустанга стоит вопрос о сохранении уникальных буддийских монастырей.

Когда вы посмотрите этот альбом, на страницах которого столь выразительно запечатлены и суровая красота высокогорий Тибетского плато, и безыскусный быт местных жителей, то, возможно, затерянное в Гималаях королевство перестанет быть для вас таким уж далеким, а люди, его населяющие, - чужими.

The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. GUIDE
"On 17 (29) August 1898, the scene in the former Carriage Yard near the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Volkhonka was unusually animated. Members of the royal family had just arrived. Professors and students of Moscow University, artists, young ladies from the Alexandro-Mariinsky Institute, government officials, and members of the City Duma, the nobility and the merchantry had taken their places on two specially installed stands. On one stand the Moscow intelligentsia was congregated: ladies in white dresses and hats, gentlemen in dark morning suits. The other stand was resplendent with frothy lace and the aiguillettes of military uniforms. The occasion was the laying of the foundation stone for a new Moscow museum, created on public funds, the Museum of Fine Arts named in honour of Emperor Alexander III and attached to the Imperial Moscow University."

The Old Patagonian Express. By Train Through the Americas
Setting off in his hometown, and ending up 'almost at the end of the world', Paul Theroux's The Old Patagonian Express is a travel writing tour de force from one of the masters of the genre contains a new preface by the author in Penguin Modern Classics.



'The journey, not the arrival, matters'



The Old Patagonian Expresstells of Paul Theroux's train journey down the length of North and South America. Beginning on Boston's subway, he depicts a voyage from ice-bound Massachusetts to the arid plateau of Argentina's most southerly tip, via pretty Central American towns and the ancient Incan city of Macchu Pichu. Shivering and sweating by turns as the temperature and altitude rise and plummet, he describes the people he encountered - thrown in with the tedious, and unavoidable, Mr Thornberry in Limon and reading to the legendary blind writer, Jorge Luis Borges, in Buenos Aires. Witty, sharply observed and beautifully written, this is a richly evocative account of travelling to 'the end of the line'.



Paul Edward Theroux (b. 1941) is an American travel writer and novelist, born in Medford, Massachusetts. Among his best known works of travel-writing are The Great Railway Bazaar (1975), The Old Patagonian Express (1979), and Riding the Iron Rooster (1985). Theroux has published numerous works of fiction, some of which have been adapted into films, including The Mosquito Coast (1981), a 1986 film directed by Peter Weir and starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Theroux is the father of British documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux, and the uncle of American actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux.

Moscow Metro
The guidebook offers five itineraries focussing on the art and architecture of Moscow's most interesting stations with a brief account of their history and special features.

An index of all the stations on the Moscow Metro and a list of museums, theatres, sport centres, stadiums, railway stations, shopping facilities and parks in their vicinity make the guidebook invaluable for intrepid foreign tourists who prefer to explore for themselves.

Secret french riviera
A game of petanque played with square boules, an astonishing aerial well, stained-plastic windows, a marble bench built in memory of the Queen of England's haemophiliac son, the instruments of the Passion of Christ, a cannon that fires cherry stones, a good-luck pig, a mysterious pyramid, a monument to secret agents, an entire village that "moved house", a gas mask for horses, a statue sculpted by Saint Luke, a chapel showing the dead rising from their tombs, a trapdoor in the nave of a church that opens onto a rushing torrent, a restaurant in an Orient Express railway car, Babar's beach, Tintin's Black Island, and Sleeping Beauty's chateau, a chance to admire the Riviera's first pair of naked breasts, or spend the night sleeping in a tree

The French Riviera is not limited to the cliches of its beaches, private yachts, and luxury hotels.

For those who know how to leave behind the beaten paths, the Riviera is full of surprising details and curious sights. It will even amaze its inhabitants as well as visitors who think they know it well.

Blood River. A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart
A compulsively readable account of an African country now virtually inaccessible to the outside world and one journalist's daring and adventurous journey.



When war correspondent Tim Butcher was sent to cover Africa in 2000 he quickly became obsessed with the idea of recreating H.M. Stanley's famous nineteenth century trans-Africa expedition - but travelling alone.



Despite warnings that his plan was 'suicidal', Butcher set out for the Congo's eastern border with just a rucksack and a few thousand dollars hidden in his boots. Making his way in an assortment of vessels including a motorbike and a dugout canoe, helped along by a cast of unlikely characters, he followed in the footsteps of the great Victorian adventurers.



Butcher's journey was a remarkable feat, but the story of the Congo, told expertly and vividly in this book, is more remarkable still.



A masterpiece John Le Carrй



Extraordinary, audacious, completely enthralling William Boyd



A remarkable marriage of travelogue and history, which deserves to make Tim Butcher a star for his prose, as well as his courage Max Hastings

The Great Railway Bazaar. By Train Through Asia
The Great Railway Bazaar is Paul Theroux's classic and much-loved homage to train travel.



The Orient Express; The Khyber Pass Local; the Delhi Mail from Jaipur; the Golden Arrow of Kuala; the Trans-Siberian Express; these are just some of the trains steaming through Paul Theroux's epic rail journey from London across Europe through India and Asia. This was a trip of discovery made in the mid-seventies, a time before the West had embraced the places, peoples, food, faiths and cultures of the East. For us now, as much as for Theroux then, to visit the lands of The Great Railway Bazaar is an encounter with all that is truly foreign and exotic - and with what we have since lost.

South From Granada
Part autobiography, part travelogue, and wholly a tribute to the unspoilt beauty of southern Spain, Gerald Brenan's South from Granada includes an introduction by Chris Stewart, author of the bestselling Driving Over Lemons, in Penguin Modern Classics.



Between 1920 and 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen and South of Granada depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings and the Spanish way of life before the Civil War. Here he portrays the landscapes, festivals and folk-lore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions and characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan's friends from the Bloomsbury group - Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf among them. Knowledgeable, elegant and sympathetic, this is a rich account of Spain's vanished past.



Gerald Brenan (1894-1987) was an English writer who spent much of his life in Spain. He is best known for The Spanish Labyrinth, a work of history on the background to the Spanish Civil War and for South From Granada: Seven Years in an Andalusian Village. He was awarded a CBE in 1982, and was much honoured in Spain

Great Escapes Asia
Much more than a travel or holiday guide, Great Escapes Asia is first and foremost a paradisiacal photo album. Featuring opulent photographs of places that seem too perfect to be real, some of which look like James Bond movie sets or National Geographic subjects, this book will quickly convince you that an Asian sojourn is crucial to your mental and physical wellbeing. The icing on the cake is that not only do these hotels really exist, but-thanks to the pricing and contact information provided-you can succumb to their mysterious charms and book yourself a room (or houseboat, hut, or tree house, whatever the case may be).

Among the gems waiting for you in Great Escapes Asia:

In Kerala, India, choose between luxurious tree houses suspended 25 meters off the ground or futuristic-looking, Star Wars-style houseboats made of bamboo poles, palm leaves, and coconut fibers

Are you more the resplendent-resort or budget-bungalow type? Find the best of both in Bali

The best place for a delectable cup of joe: a luxury lodge and spa on a java plantation in (you guessed it) Java

In the Philippines, an organic resort composed of superimposed huts whose every room affords instant access to the beach via rope ladder

Tadao Ando's sprawling minimalist concrete-and-steel hotel attached to the contemporary art museum in Naoshima, Japan-the perfect place to contemplate on the relationship between humans and nature

An exclusive hotel on a private island in Sri Lanka, once owned by Paul Bowles and frequented by Arthur C. Clarke and Peggy Guggenheim

Thatched-roof cottages in India whose gardens overflow with mangos, nutmeg, and cardamom

An Ayurvedic spa in the Himalayas where nothing matters but peace and relaxation

In Myanmar, an elegant river cruise boat and a hotel on a breathtaking archeological site

Chairman Mao's former getaway in Beijing, where you can rent his lavish, traditionally-decorated suite complete with adjoining concubine rooms

Around the World in 80 Days
'The pace of this kind of travel has not much changed since Fogg set out in 1872. Trains may be a little faster, but there are certainly no high-speed rail links yet across India, China or the USA. Passenger services have practically disappeared from the world's shipping lanes ... Recourse to air travel, even as a convenient means of escape, was not allowed.'

Following the route taken by Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier, Michael Palin set out from the Reform Club to circumnavigate the world. The rules were simple, but nothing else about the trip was straightforward...

From a tour of Venice on a rubbish barge to ship spotting at the Suez Canal and the bicycle rush hour and snake snacks in China, this is an unparalleled tribute to man's ability to make life difficult for himself.

Barcelona. Restaurants & More
When the sun goes down, Spain's culinary culture comes alive; the Catalans like to enjoy their meals late into the night, to the surprise of many foreigners who are not accustomed to eating dinner as late as 11 p.m. or even midnight. But they quickly become accustomed to this very relaxed way of life, having learned to enjoy a siesta in the afternoon when all the shops are closed. A favorite way to usher in the evening hours is to visit a classic tapas bar such as TapaC24 or Cerveceria El Vaso de Oro, where fresh, simple, and delicious nibbles can be had while sipping a cold cerveza. When your appetite is in full swing and the hour grows late, choose from our restaurant recommendations such as 7 Portes, the oldest eatery in the city, or the very glamorous Noti. If after-dinner drinks are in order, be sure to visit Bar Gimlet for cocktails and jazz. And forget about that diet: you must try the scrumptiously sweet suizos and churros at Granja La Pallaresa!

Great Escapes. Around the World

Our selection of the 90 best hotels around the globe.

Whether you want to take a relaxing vacation in Asia, a backpacking journey in South America, a road trip in the USA, a cultural tour in Europe, or a safari in Africa, we've got the most inspiring and eclectic collection of hotels, guesthouses, boats, lodges, spas, and houseboats that you could ask for. Culled from our Great Escapes series, favorite spots include futuristic-looking, Star Wars-style houseboats made of bamboo poles, palm leaves, and coconut fibers in Kerala, India, as well as a luxury lodge and spa on a java plantation in (you guessed it) Java. An Ayurvedic spa in the Himalayas where nothing matters but peace and relaxation will certainly tempt you, or perhaps you're more the type for a lush Kenyan open-walled, thatched-roof hut fashioned from tree trunks? On a more modern vibe, oogle Gio Ponti's sleek blue and white hotel perched on the cliffs in Sorrento, Italy, and you'll yearn for a sojourn there.

Other highlights include an elegant auberge in Napa Valley, California, where you can stay during your wine tasting tour, a historic ranch nestled in a Death Valley oasis, an adobe hotel in the Chilean desert, a hotel built entirely of salt in Bolivia's Uyuni salt desert, and an "ecolodge" on a natural reserve in the Amazon rain forest. Just flip through the pages of this new compilation of dreamy spots to plan your next holiday, wherever on the planet it may be.

Berlin. Hotels & More
Glamorous in the Roaring Twenties, destroyed during World War II and divided afterwards, rebuilt in the 1950s, and now reunited, Berlin is a city of vibrant contrasts where diverse cultures form a multihued urban fabric. Derelict former Communist neighborhoods have been reincarnated as haunts for artists and designers while elsewhere the city's old traditions are also still very much alive. Places Angelika Taschen recommends you stay while visiting Berlin include everything from classic hotels like The Regent Berlin, bed and breakfast-style pensions such as Nurnberger Eck and Askanischer Hof in Charlottenburg, or the serviced apartments Lux 11 in Berlin-Mitte. And of course none of the hotel books would be complete without a copious helping of hotspots to visit and places at which to eat and drink during your stay. Favorite recommendations for Berlin: include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's New National Gallery, the Helmut Newton Foundation, a curry wurst stand in Prenzlauerberg where Berlin's signature dish was invented and a ballroom nearly a century old.

Barcelona may be design-crazed these days, but visitors can still take a trip back in time by visiting devotional shops that have hardly changed in centuries, such as Cereria Subira (est. 1761). Cooks and culinary fans will appreciate our recommendations for the best places to find kitchenware, chef's apparel, fresh-roasted coffee, or world-famous Spanish hams. If clothes-shopping is more your style, you'll want to visit one of our selected boutiques such as Josep Font, one of Spain's most celebrated designers, or the concept store Lobby. Be sure to keep this guide with you while you jaunt through Barcelona so you don't miss any of the local institutions (n.b. when you're drooling over a leg of jamon iberico, you may want to remind yourself that the airlines impose a weight limit for checked baggage).

Special features:

- exclusive hand-illustrated cover

- exclusive hand-illustrated map for each area

A Man on the Moon. The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts
'Through the windows of the slowly turning spacecraft they looked out at the place where the sun had once been, and there was the moon: a huge, magnificent sphere bathed in the eerie blue light of earthshine, each crater rendered in ghostly detail.'



The race to the moon was won spectacularly by Apollo 11 on 20 July 1969. When astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their 'giant step' across a ghostly lunar landscape, they were watched by some 600 million people on Earth 250, 000 miles away.



A Man on the Moon is the definitive account of the heroic Apollo programme: from the tragedy of the fire in Apollo 1 during a simulated launch, through the euphoria of the first moonwalk, to the discoveries made by the first scientist in space aboard Apollo 17. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with the astronauts and team, this is the story of the twentieth century's greatest human achievement, minute-by-minute, in the words of those who were there.

Иерусалим не просто город
Фотоальбом Дмитрия Брикмана - это рассказ об одном из самых удивительных и загадочных городов мира. О городе, в котором смешалось все: религия, история, истины, судьбы людские... О нем трудно говорить словами. Да и не город это вовсе. Скорее, безнадежно запутанный клубок страстей человеческих. Или их зеркало. А может, пуповина, соединяющая то, что здесь, с тем, что не здесь. Каждого приводит к нему своя дорога. И каждый находит в нем свое.

Это рассказ о великом Иерусалиме.

Love and War in the Apennines
Hailed as Newby's 'masterpiece', Love and War in the Apennines is the gripping real-life story of Newby's imprisonment and escape from an Italian prison camp during World War II.



After the Italian Armistice of 1943, Eric Newby escaped from the prison camp in which he'd been held for a year. He evaded the German army by hiding in the caves and forests of Fontanellato, in Italy's Po Valley. Against this picturesque backdrop, he was sheltered for three months by an informal network of Italian peasants, who fed, supported and nursed him, before his eventual recapture.



'Love and War in the Apennines' is Newby's tribute to the selfless and courageous people who were to be his saviours and companions during this troubled time and of their bleak and unchanging way of life. Of the cast of idiosyncratic characters, most notable was the beautiful local girl on a bike who would teach him the language, and eventually help him escape; two years later they were married and would spend the rest of their lives as co-adventurers. Part travelogue, part escape story and part romance, this is a mesmerising account of wisdom, courage, humour and adventure, and tells the story of the early life of a man who would become one of Britain's best-loved literary adventurers.

In Xanadu. A Quest
One of the most successful, influential and acclaimed travel books of recent years from the author of Return of a King , which has been shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize.

At the age of twenty-two, William Dalrymple left his college in Cambridge to travel to the ruins of Kublai Khan s stately pleasure dome in Xanadu. This is an account of a quest which took him and his companions across the width of Asia, along dusty, forgotten roads, through villages and cities full of unexpected hospitality and wildly improbable escapades, to Coleridge s Xanadu itself.

At once funny and knowledgeable, In Xanadu is in the finest tradition of British travel writing. Told with an exhilarating blend of eloquence, wit, poetry and delight, it is already established as a classic of its kind.

A Time In Rome
'A great writer... she is what happened after Bloomsbury... the link that connects Virginia Woolf with Iris Murdoch and Muriel Spark' Victoria Glendinning



Elizabeth Bowen's account of a time spent in Rome is no ordinary guidebook but an evocation of a city - its history, its architecture and, above all, its atmosphere. She describes the famous classical sites, conjuring from the ruins visions of former inhabitants and their often bloody activities and speculates about the immense noise of ancient Rome, the problems caused by the Romans' dining posture, and the Roman temperament. She evokes the city's moods - by day, when it is characterised by golden sunlight, and at night, when the blaze of the moon 'annihilates history'.

Great Escapes Mediterranean
The Mediterranean is a mythical place, with three continents - Europe, Africa and Asia - and 21 countries sharing its coastline. These disparate cultures are all blessed with its fine climate, luxuriant fauna and flora, and the intense blues of its sea. Angelika Taschen has discovered the very best of this legendary region. Included here are the glamorous Eden-Roc on the Cote d'Azur, the stylish Monte Carlo Beach created by India Mahdavi, the hotel Stella Maris north of Portofino - accessible only by boat or trekking - and of course the famous Amalfi Coast with its numerous beautiful hotels. Add to these the tiny hotel on the small Croatian island of Lopud, the exclusive Perivolas in Santorini, and last but not least, the new branch of the Hotel Nord-Pinus in Tangier, looking out at the Straits of Gibraltar.

Highlights include the Hotel Le Corbusier in the "Cite Radieuse", a Le Corbusier building in the residential district of Marseille, built in 1952; Casadelmar on Corsica, set in beautiful gardens overlooking Porto Vecchio, where every room has a sea view; and the enchanting private rocky beach Cala Piccola of the remote hotel Torre di Cala Piccola on the little-known Tuscan island of Argentario, which takes you back to 1960s Italy. Other gems include the charming La Locanda del Barbablu (with only six rooms) on the mythical island of Stromboli, set in the shadow of its active volcano; the amazing hotels in the "masserie" of Apulia, such as the Borgo San Marco in Fasano; and the beautifully designed Orloff Resort near the Old Harbour of Spetses, a small Greek Island which relaxes the eyes and calms the mind.

Иллюстрированная энциклопедия: РОССИЯ: Города, люди, традиции
Книга для иностранцев, изучающих русский язык.

Книга адресована всем тем, кто интересуется Россией, ее реалиями и традициями, кто хочет знать русский этикет и хочет научиться правильно вести себя в ситуациях повседневного общения с русскими. Она позволит получить много новой информации и о современной России, о тех изменениях, которые произошли в ней за последнее время.

Автор предлагает 19 глав, в которых подробно рассматриваются самые разнообразные темы, вызывающие неизменный интерес у иностранцев (стереотипы общения у русских, знакомство и представление, разговор по телефону, праздники и поздравления и т.д.). В книге можно найти ответы на многие вопросы, возникающие при знакомстве с Россией (Когда к русским можно обращаться на "вы", а когда на "ты"? Когда человека можно назвать только по имени, а когда по имени-отчеству? Русский и россиянин - какая разница? Что такое дача, блины, бабье лето, Масленица и т.д.).

Книга будет интересна и российским читателям. Она позволяет взглянуть на нас, русских, и на нашу страну несколько с другой точки зрения. В ней представлены факты и освещены реалии нашей жизни, на которые мы сами, может быть, и не обращаем внимания, но с которыми и нам будет интересно познакомиться.

Кроме того, автор подобрал ко всем главам иллюстрации, с помощью которых можно не только лучше узнать Россию, но и почувствовать ее.
