In her twenties, journalist Sarah Macdonald backpacked around India and came away with a lasting impression of heat, pollution and poverty. So when an airport beggar read her palm and told her she would return to India—and for love—she screamed, “Never!” and gave the country, and him, the finger. But eleven years later, the prophecy comes true. When the love of Sarah’s life is posted to India, she quits her dream job to move to the most polluted city on earth, New Delhi. For Sarah this seems like the ultimate sacrifice for love, and it almost kills her, literally. Just settled, she falls dangerously ill with double pneumonia, an experience that compels her to face some serious questions about her own fragile mortality and inner spiritual void. “I must find peace in the only place possible in India,” she concludes. “Within.” Thus begins her journey of discovery through India in search of the meaning of life and death. Holy Cow is Macdonald’s often hilarious chronicle of her adventures in a land of chaos and contradiction, of encounters with Hinduism, Islam and Jainism, Sufis, Sikhs, Parsis and Christians and a kaleidoscope of yogis, swamis and Bollywood stars. From spiritual retreats and crumbling nirvanas to war zones and New Delhi nightclubs, it is a journey that only a woman on a mission to save her soul, her love life—and her sanity—can survive. |

Deliciously funny, fact-filled and adventurous, In a Sunburned Country takes us on a grand tour of Australia. It's a place where interesting things happen all the time, from a Prime Minister lost — yes, lost — while swimming at sea, to Japanese cult members who may (entirely unnoticed) have set off an atomic bomb on their 500,000 acre property in the great western desert. Australia is the only island that is also a continent, and the only continent that is also a country. Its aboriginal people, a remote and mysterious race with a tragic history, have made it their home for millennia. And despite the fact that it is the most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all inhabited continents, it teems with life. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else: sharks, crocodiles, the planet's ten most deadly poisonous snakes, fluffy yet toxic caterpillars, sea shells that actually attack you, and the unbelievable box jellyfish (don't ask). The dangerous riptides of the sea and the sun-baked wastes of the outback both lie in wait for the unwary. Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide. In a Sunburned Country offers the best of all possible introductions to what may well be the best of all possible nations. Even with those jellyfish. |

From the acclaimed author of The Art of Stillness- -one of our most engaging and discerning travel writers--a unique, indispensable guide to the enigma of contemporary Japan. After thirty-two years in Japan, Pico Iyer can use everything from anime to Oscar Wilde to show how his adopted home is both hauntingly familiar and the strangest place on earth.

A Beginner's Guide to Japan is a playful and profound guidebook full of surprising, brief, incisive glimpses into Japanese culture. Iyer's adventures and observations as he travels from a meditation-hall to a love-hotel, from West Point to Kyoto Station, make for a constantly surprising series of provocations guaranteed to pique the interest and curiosity of those who don't know Japan, and to remind those who do of the wide range of fascinations the country and culture contain. |

Lisbon's charm is legendary, but its vibrant 2,000-year history is not widely known, from its Roman legacy to its centuries under Moorish rule. Its journey from port town to Portugal's capital was not always smooth sailing--in 1755 the city was devastated by the largest earthquake ever to strike modern Europe, followed by a catastrophic tsunami and a six-day inferno that turned sand to glass. Barry Hatton unearths these forgotten memories in a vivid account of Lisbon's colourful past and present, bringing to life the 1147 siege during the Iberian reconquista, the assassination of the king, the founding of a republic and the darkness of a modern dictatorship. He reveals the rich, international heritage of Portugal's metropolis--the gateway to the Atlantic and the unrivalled Queen of the Sea. |

Partez à la découverte du Fabuleux nord du Portugal avec ce chapitre extrait du guide Ulysse Fabuleux Portugal. Viana do Castelo peut se vanter d’être à la fois une ville attrayante et une station balnéaire riche en architecture. La Praia do Cabedelo, animée et familiale, ainsi que la Praia de Afife, située un peu plus au nord, vaste et couverte de sable blanc, sont les plus réputées. Située aux confins septentrionaux du Portugal, et faisant face au Rio Minho et à l’Espagne, Valença renferme une très intéressante ville fortifiée qui surplombe le fleuve et s’avère propice à la flânerie. Réputée déjà au Moyen Âge comme place forte, la cité a été, tout au long des siècles, dotée d’imposantes fortifications. Ponte de Lima est un paisible petit bourg où l’activité rurale continue d’être très présente a été habité dès 150 av. J.-C. Les Romains lui insuffleront de l’importance en construisant un imposant pont afin de franchir à sec le Rio Lima, sujet à de violentes crues. Aujourd’hui connu sous le nom de Ponte Medieval, il fut partiellement reconstruit dans la première moitié du XIVe siècle. L’une des plus vieilles villes du pays, Guimarães est la seule cependant à pouvoir s’enorgueillir d’être le berceau du royaume. C’est en effet ici que naquit Afonso Henriques, le premier roi du Portugal. Inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, Guimarães est une ville à ne pas manquer, tant pour son charme que pour sa richesse architecturale. La région située à l’est de Porto et plus particulièrement la vallée du Douro bénéficient d’un climat moins pluvieux et plus doux que la région nord du pays. Dans la splendide vallée escarpée le long du Rio Douro et de ses affluents est cultivée la vigne. S’il est vrai que le Portugal compte un nombre impressionnant de châteaux, le Castelo de Bragança figure parmi les plus beaux du pays. Bien que le nom de Bragança soit fameux à travers le pays entier pour être associé à la dernière dynastie qu’ait connue le Portugal, celle des Bragances (1640-1910), cette petite ville eut beaucoup à souffrir de sa situation géographique. Ce chapitre contient des informations sur les attraits et les meilleurs sites à visiter, cotés selon un système d’étoiles pour vous aider à identifier les lieux les plus importants, le tout illustré de nombreuses photographies en couleurs, en plus d’une carte de la région en couleurs indiquant les localités, les parcs, les plages et autres points d’intérêt. |
