Reisen auf den legendären Hippie-Trails der 60er und 70er Jahre Zweite erweiterte und aktualisierte Auflage! 'Ein buntes und unterhaltsames, lehrreiches und anregendes Buch, voller Nostalgie und Aktualität und eine Pflichtlektüre vor der Entscheidung fürs nächste Reiseziel' Mainpost ' Autor Detlef Fritz widmet sich den Reiselegenden wie der Route 66 und ihren Geschichten und liefert konkrete Ratschläge für das Reisen in heutiger Zeit auf den Hippie-Trails der 60er- und 70er Jahre.' Clever reisen Waren die Globetrotter der 1960er und 1970er Jahre, unterwegs auf dem Landweg von Mitteleuropa nach Marokko, Kreta, via Istanbul und Kabul nach Indien und Thailand wirklich, wie oft behauptet, die Pioniere des modernen Massentourismus? Welchen Legenden folgten diese Rucksack-Reisenden, die mit ihren Touren selbst die Legende vom Hippie-Trail begründeten? Diesen Fragen geht der Autor nach, erzählt dabei sowohl die Geschichte einer abenteuerlichen Reise auf dem Hippie-Trail zum 'Dach der Welt' als auch eine Geschichte des Reisens in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten. Dazu bricht er schließlich eine Lanze für den viel gescholtenen Pauschaltouristen. Fazit: Reisen war schon immer ein Beitrag zur Globalisierung, macht die Welt sicher nicht schlechter, manchmal aber ein kleines Stück besser.

Hitch

Amelia stands beside a highway in the Australian desert, alone except for her dog and the occasional road train that speeds past her raised thumb. After her mother's funeral, Amelia was confronted by Zach and reminded of the relationship they had when she was a teenager. She feels complicit and remains unable to process what happened. So she ran. Her best friend, Sid, is Zach's cousin and the one person in the world she can depend upon. But, of course, the road isn't safe either. Amelia is looking for generosity or human connection in the drivers she finds lifts with, and she does receive that. But she is also let down. Hitch is a raw exploration of consent and its ambiguities, personal agency and the choices we make. It's the story of twenty-something Amelia and her dog Lucy hitchhiking from one end of the country to the other, trying to outrun grief and trauma, and moving ever closer to the things she longs to escape. Kathryn Hind, winner of the inaugural Penguin Literary Prize, writes with acuity, empathy and wisdom. She is a shining new light on the Australian literary scene.
