Leben in allen Himmelsrichtungen

Those who travel to foreign countries and distant places are rewarded threefold: they get to know the world, its inhabitants, and themselves. Few can tell this better than Andreas Altmann, the gifted reporter who takes us on his journeys in this book and shares his wondrous, sometimes cheerful, sometimes shocking, and at times absurd encounters. Every continent is represented, featuring kind and wicked individuals, the daring and the desperate, women and men who fear for their lives, and others who are bubbling with exuberance – along with landscapes that touch a heart of stone. This volume gathers the best of Altmann's celebrated reports, a literary travel book full of life in all directions.
