[Dutch; Flemish] - Tussen de rails: De 35 mooiste treinreizen van Europa

De 35 mooiste treinreizen van Europa, beschreven door dé treinreisjournalist van de Lage Landen Met een voorwoord van Paul Haenen De internationale trein beleeft een glorieuze comeback. En terecht, want reizen per spoor is avontuurlijk, relaxed en klimaatvriendelijk. Er is alle ruimte om rond te lopen, een boek te lezen of te lunchen terwijl de mooiste landschappen langs je raam voorbijglijden. De trein is een microkosmos waarin tijd er even niet toe doet – een betere reden om te ontspannen bestaat niet. Bekroond reisjournalist Sander Groen brengt een ode aan de trein met dit boek vol meeslepende reisverhalen over epische treinreizen. Treed in het voetspoor van Poirot in de slaaptrein naar de Rivièra, reis heel Italië door en steek dan met trein en al op de veerboot over naar Sicilië, of bedwing je hoogtevrees op de bergspoorlijn van dictator Tito in Montenegro. Dit zijn de 35 mooiste treinreizen van Europa – die je zelf ook kunt maken. Tussen de rails is behalve een leesboek ook een inspiratiegids, met verhalen over de Trans-Europ-Express, spoorwegpioniers en Interrail, de mooiste treinstations, beroemdste luxetreinen en beste treinfilms, plus praktische tips voor het plannen van je eigen treinvakantie. Na dit boek wil je nog maar één ding: instappen en Europa ontdekken per trein. 'Tijdens de 35 Europese treinreizen die Sander Groen tipt in Tussen de rails zou ik zeker om me heen kijken. Groen vertelt waarom ze de mooiste van Europa zijn. Er komen ook leuke lijstjes voorbij: 'de tien beste Europese treinfilms' en 'de tien leukste spoorwandelingen'.' AD 'De internationale trein beleeft een comeback en reisjournalist Sander Groen, die zich de laatste jaren alleen nog duurzaam verplaatst, brengt in Tussen de rails een ode aan de trein met zijn verhalen over de 35 mooiste treinreizen door Europa.' Het Parool 'In Tussen de rails reist [Groen] door Italië, op de veerboot naar Sicilië, of langs een bergspoorlijn in Montenegro. Het boek is geen opsomming van reisroutes, maar een ode aan de romantiek van charmante stationnetjes en hotelkamers op wielen. Bomvol tips om je eigen treinvakantie te plannen.' Knack Weekend 'Al meer dan twintig jaar maakt Groen reisreportages, onder meer voor deze krant. [...] Tussen de rails is een inspirerend boek met mooie verhalen, tips en praktische informatie voor wie net als hij het liefst duurzaam de wereld in trekt.' Trouw 'Groen zelf blijft prettig afwezig in zijn reisbeschrijvingen. [...] Nuttig is ook dat hij per land praktische informatie geeft over soorten treinen en tickets, boekingsmogelijkheden en websites. Tussen de Rails is een aanmoediging om tot op hoge leeftijd te blijven tienertoeren.' de Volkskrant 'Tussen de rails van Sander Groen (what's in a name?) neemt je mee op de 35 mooiste treinreizen van Europa. [...] Meer dan een pure reisgids is het vooral een hommage aan de schoonheid van traag reizen.' Het Laatste Nieuws Sander Groen (1971) is reisjournalist sinds 2001. Hij schreef honderden reisreportages voor de Volkskrant, Trouw, National Geographic Traveler, Kampioen, Knack Weekend, De Morgen en vele andere Nederlandse, Belgische en internationale kranten en tijdschriften. Hij won diverse prijzen, waaronder de Aad Struijs Persprijs, de enige onafhankelijke vakprijs voor Nederlandstalige reisjournalistiek, met een reportage over een driedaagse treinreis van Istanboel naar Teheran in de Trans-Azië Express. Groen reist graag groen – per trein, bus, boot, fiets of te voet.

The Everest Politics Show: Sorrow and strife on the world’s highest mountain

In April 2014 Mark Horrell went on a mountaineering expedition to Nepal, hoping to climb Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world, which shares a base camp and climbing route with Mount Everest. He dreamed of following in the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, by climbing through the infamous ice maze of the Khumbu Icefall, and he yearned to sleep in the grand amphitheatre of Everest Base Camp, surrounded by towering peaks. He was also intrigued by the media publicity surrounding commercial expeditions to Everest. He wanted to discover for himself whether it had become the circus that everybody described. But when a devastating avalanche swept across the Khumbu Icefall, he got more than he bargained for. Suddenly he found himself witnessing the greatest natural disaster Everest had ever seen. And that was just the start. Everest Sherpas came out in protest, issuing a list of demands to the Government of Nepal. What happened next left his team confused, bewildered and fearing for their safety.
