Synopsis

Michelangelo, thirty years old, was a sailor in the Mediterranean, a train driver in South America, a driver in Northern Europe and dreams of becoming an airplane pilot.
The thirst for adventure and the need to experience his solitude lead him to Kenya, where the casual discovery of a poster will push him to travel to Tanzania to face the highest mountain of the continent: Kilimanjaro. Climbing is an opportunity to test himself once again, to return to experience the thrill of the unknown, to remember the past but above all to dream of the future.

Edoardo Albasini was born in Florence in 1991.
At the age of twenty he moved to London, where he carried out the most varied professions until he found the only business that seemed to do for him: aviation.
Thus he begins to travel, six months a year in a suit and tie and the remaining backpacking. He visits more than 105 countries, noting his adventures and reflections in his notebooks.
Author of Via nella notte, Nient'altro che vita and Vertigine.
Vertigo is his first book translated and published in English.
He has more than 22,000 followers on Instagram with his profile Thevanishedchronicles, where he talks about his travels.
Disponible depuis: 16/05/2023.

    For Robert Hughes fishing was a lifelong obsession and the pastime that he loved best. In A Jerk on One End he brings the wit and insight that have characterized his art criticism to the subjects of fish and fishing. He traces his love of fishing to his boyhood on Sydney Harbour and recounts the high and low points of his career with rod and reel, from his first catch to hair-raising tales of shark hunts he has picked up from other fishermen. Mixing memoir and history with folklore and anecdote, this audiobook is a celebration of the delights and beauties of fishing as well as a powerful and reasoned plea for the protection of the ecology of the ocean.

    The National Hockey League saw the birth of a new dynasty in 1980. The New York Islanders had been an expansion franchise in 1972 in the New York City suburbs of Long Island. For years they played in the long shadow of the big-city New York Rangers and were considered the league’s laughingstock during their first season. Miraculously, eight years later, they were champions. Newly revised, Birth of a Dynasty: The 1980 New York Islanders is the story of how it happened, how it came together, and what it felt like to be there.

    The Least Among Them is a most special baseball book that looks at the New York Yankees history in an original, unique, and never before written manner. Throughout their history, the New York Yankees have been defined by the legends and the successes of their most famous players. But, as part of their long history, the Yankees have also fielded players that have become lost to history. This book is those players' story, telling the unique histories of the men whose entire major league baseball career lasted but a single game with that game being played as a New York Yankee. While these players may be forgotten, their stories are compelling. Filled with a unique Yankee history, single game stats, and a love of baseball, The Least Among Them tells the story of baseball's most successful franchise in an entirely new way.

    Britain's Best Bike Ride by John Walsh and Hannah Reynolds is a beautifully illustrated and inspirational guide to the ultimate thousand-mile cycling adventure from Land's End to John o' Groats.
    There are many ways to cycle between Land's End and John o' Groats, but the route specially created for this book, LEJOG1000, is designed to show you the quiet roads, picturesque villages and dramatic landscapes that make the experience memorable. Instead of taking the most direct route, it invites you to explore the best of each region you pass through. You'll discover stunning beaches and wild ponies on your way along the quiet wild-flower-edged lanes of Cornwall and Devon, follow the meandering River Wye in Wales, wind your way through a post-industrial landscape of canals and mill chimneys in the North West, before moving on to the epic climbs and grand vistas of Scotland.
    Carefully crafted to allow you the freedom to create your own ultimate adventure, the route is split into 30 adaptable stages, each finishing in a town or village with suggested places to eat, drink and stay. Create your own bespoke itinerary, or use one of three itinerary options provided: the 2-week classic, 3-week explorer or 10-day challenge. Along with stunning photography and lively insightful writing you will find all the practical information you need to plan your LEJOG1000 – route directions, bespoke mapping, cafes, pubs and local bike shops. Downloadable GPX files of the route are also available.
    Britain's Best Bike Ride will inspire you to take on this once-in-a-lifetime challenge – you'll be pedalling into John o' Groats having experienced the very best of Britain on a bike before you know it!
