In 1951, the Festival of Britain commissioned a series of short guides they dubbed ‘handbooks for the explorer’. Their aim was to encourage readers to venture out beyond the capital and on to ‘the roads and the by-roads’ to see Britain as a ‘living country’. Yet these 13 guides did more than celebrate the rural splendour of this ‘island nation’: they also made much of Britain’s industrial power and mid-century ambition. Armed with these About Britain guides, historian Tim Cole takes to the roads to find out what has changed and what has remained the same.

Se la fata Morgana vive a Bagno a Ripoli e il Diavolo fa i ponti a Borgo a Mozzano, se a Chiusi ci si può perdere nei labirinti di Porsenna e a Firenze bisogna prestare attenzione al quadrilatero della morte, allora bisogna riconoscere che la Toscana è una regione ancora da scoprire e che, dietro l'arte e la cultura di questa terra, esiste un mondo oscuro: un paesaggio dove l'Ulivo del Sabba di Magliano, la spada nella roccia di Montesiepi, il borgo fantasma di Palaia e la volpe d'oro di Poggibonsi sono solo alcune tappe di un viaggio in cui il mistero è l'attore principale.

Weil weniger so viel mehr bedeuten kann: Minimalistisch leben im Wohnmobil. Mein Haus, mein Auto, mein Boot - wer hat, der kann, und wer nichts hat, zieht in den Caravan? Das mag früher so gewesen sein, und noch immer ist das Leben in einem Wohnwagen eher ungewöhnlich und verhältnismäßig günstig. Doch die Idee von Marion Hahnfeldt ist eine andere. Nämlich herauszufinden, was man im Leben wirklich braucht. Kommt man noch klar ohne den üblichen Komfort? Reichen sieben Quadratmeter, wenn es früher mal 95 waren?

Êtes-vous de ceux qui déshabillent leurs Whippet avant de les manger ? Ou encore faites-vous partie de ceux qui font exploser la coque de chocolat avant de les déguster ? Peu importe la technique, le Whippet demeure le deuxième biscuit le plus vendu au Québec. Inventé et produit en sol québécois, il est un fleuron de la culture québécoise selon plusieurs. Le biscuit causera une commotion quand l’usine qui le fabrique sera délocalisée à l’extérieur du Québec en 2020. Un abandon selon certains… dont il ne restera que des miettes.
