At a time when nature's inner workings were largely a mystery, people from every walk of life who faced problems or circumstances they were powerless to control sought the help of 'cunning folk'. These wise women and men were often renowned for their skill at healing the sick or predicting the future, fortune-telling and divination, and for their knowledge of spells and potions. Occasionally and tragically, some were condemned as witches for using their powers for ill. But this has tended to obscure the fact that the magic they practised was a normal and accepted part of daily life.

Was ist ein Foreigner? Bedeutet dieser Begriff schlicht Ausländer, oder steckt da mehr dahinter? Warum werden alte Menschen in Indien mehr geachtet als im Westen? Wie steht es um die Korruption in der indischen Gesellschaft? Warum sind die Lautsprecher bei Veranstaltungen jeder Art in Indien immer so unerträglich laut aufgedreht? Wie steht es überhaupt und besonders heute (2017) mit der Kinderarbeit in Indien? Diese und viele andere Fragen hat der seit 14 Jahren durch Indien reisende Autor Indern gestellt und deren Antworten in dieses kleine (Hör-)Buch gesetzt, um dort Brücken der Verständigung zu schlagen, wo diese fehlen.

Story
Территория, которую ныне занимает Сочинский национальный парк и частично Кавказский государственный заповедник, привлекает туристов. Завораживают горные образования, поражает природа этих мест. Здесь в ходу легенды, походные рассказы и сказки старожилов, зачастую не имеющие под собой исторической подоплеки, но по-своему оживляющие малознакомые для широкого турсообщества жемчужины природы удивительной красоты.

Story
Os chineses nos intrigam. O regime é comunista, mas a economia é capitalista. Eles ficaram enclausurados durante os quase trinta anos de governo de Mao Tsé-Tung e agora viajam pelo mundo todo e são os maiores usuários de internet do planeta. Quem são, afinal, esses 1,3 bilhão de chineses? Por que a relação do país com o Ocidente—e com os vizinhos—mudou tanto ao longo do tempo? Como esse país milenar, responsável por invenções importantíssimas para a humanidade como o papel e a bússola, pode ser acusado de copiar tecnologias estrangeiras?
