Book Description
Thomas Brackmann has lived and worked in Saudi Arabia since 2010. In his spare time he travels around the world (2018 he finished all 193 UN member states), teaches Judo to Kids, organizes charity events, and writes short stories about all his adventures. In 2013 he discovered running as an additional hobby and shifted slowly to become a triathlete. Between 2014 and 2018 he finished 1 Double Ironman, 6 full Ironman, several shorter triathlons, different Marathons and Ultra Marathons. However, travelling was always his major passion. In the recent years he planned to travel to each country to have ticked off all 193 UN member states. This book is about his travel adventures around the globe. It consists of short stories from Ironman triathlons in Australia, interviews with semi-professional travelers from Sweden, fun reports from German submarines, and insights of other fellow globe trotters. Most importantly each chapter represents one country and is filled with tips, tricks and lessons learned to travel easier, better, and more intense. After reading the book you might know how penguin poo is smelling, what is the taste of a one dollar omelet in Nepal, why Tuvalu will disappear, and how the Germans know everything better. Definitely this book is not a detailed travel advice work. You will not find specific travel details about each country, it is rather filled with funny stories of a highly motivated average talented triathlete conquering the world by travelling. Therefore this book is for everyone who is infected by wanderlust and also has the desire for sports, party, new places, and interesting people around the world. It is a great guide for finding the best way to have fun in travel life. Worry we can tomorrow. Today we travel and discover new places and meet new people.

Book Description
Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining mega-bestseller from France When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Cortès is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two—confident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoé—is forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Joséphine’s charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all—a wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a très chic Paris address—but she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of her own: Joséphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Iris’s name. All is well—that is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season.

Book Description
In 1992, a gang leader was shot dead by an ANC member in Kroonstad. The murder weapon was then hidden on Antjie Krog’s stoep. In Begging to Be Black, Krog begins by exploring her position in this controversial case. From there the book ranges widely in scope, both in time - reaching back to the days of Basotho king Moshoeshoe - and in space - as we follow Krog’s experiences as a research fellow in Berlin, far from the Africa that produced her. Begging to Be Black is a book of journeys - moral, historical, philosophical and geographical. These form strands that Krog interweaves and sets in conversation with each other, as she explores questions of change and becoming, coherency and connectedness, before drawing them closer together as the book approaches its powerful end. Experimental and courageous, Begging to Be Black is a welcome addition to Krog’s own oeuvre and to South African literary non-fiction.

Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling novelist, a stunning historical novel that follows the story of Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot, two extraordinary 19th century fossil hunters who changed the scientific world forever. On the windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the English coast, poor and uneducated Mary learns that she has a unique gift: "the eye" to spot ammonites and other fossils no one else can see. When she uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton in the cliffs near her home, she sets the religious community on edge, the townspeople to gossip, and the scientific world alight. After enduring bitter cold, thunderstorms, and landslips, her challenges only grow when she falls in love with an impossible man. Mary soon finds an unlikely champion in prickly Elizabeth, a middle-class spinster who shares her passion for scouring the beaches. Their relationship strikes a delicate balance between fierce loyalty, mutual appreciation, and barely suppressed envy, but ultimately turns out to be their greatest asset. From the author of At the Edge of the Orchard and Girl With a Pearl Earring comes this incredible story of two remarkable women and their voyage of discovery.
