An account of his journey through England – from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home – English Journey is funny and tender. But it is also a forensic reading of a changing England and a call to arms as passionate as anything in Orwell’s bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalysed the public mood of its time. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, Priestley influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation.

Was zunächst wie der makabre Unfall eines unachtsamen Schatzsuchers aussieht, wirft nach und nach immer mehr Fragen auf, zumal die Polizei den Fall schon bald zu den Akten legt, obwohl das Opfer der stadtbekannte Bombenentschärfer Gert Weimeister war.

The only place in the United States that Hemingway could really call home after he started writing was the tropical island of Key West. During his decade here in the 1930s, he acquired his famed macho persona as Papa, the biggest Big Daddy of them all. This vivid portrait of Ernest Hemingway's Key West reveals both Hemingway, the writer, and Hemingway, the macho, hard-drinking sportsman. His Key West years turned out to be his most productive: he finished A Farewell to Arms, started For Whom the Bell Tolls, and wrote several other books, including Green Hills of Africa.

I denne podcast-serie tager jeg jer med på mit solo-eventyr til eksotiske destinationer. Jeg vil hver uge dele ud af datingoplevelser, alt imens jeg søger efter prinsen på det hvide surfboard. Gennem rejser og romantik håber jeg ikke kun at finde den true låve, men også at opdage mere om mig selv.

Mit fokus er ikke kun på at finde kærligheden, men også på at genfinde livsglæden, som jeg har savnet i det travle danske liv de sidste par år. Følg med, mens jeg udforsker, ...
