“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.

But other than cooking three squares a day for the cowpunchers over at the Lazy G ranch, Laramie’s not good for much. But Laramie’s luck - and life - are about to take an amazing turn. Quite by accident, he somehow manages to save a family of Mexicans from bandits, and as a token of their gratitude they give him The Magic Quirt - a horsewhip that he’s told will turn him into a new man.

Un itinerario por los espacios más indómitos y los más sometidos que chocan y crecen dentro de nosotros. Desde la niñez, desde la semilla, desde distintas partes del mundo, una reflexión poética y conmovedora, un canto a todo lo que crece.

Unicum erzählt von zwei portugiesischen Forschern, die in Afrika eine sensationelle Entdeckung machen. Der Parasit eines Riechtieres löst beim infizierten Menschen einen unbegrenzten Arbeitseifer aus.
