Sinopse

In 'The Island of Desire,' Robert Dean Frisbie presents a mesmerizing narrative that explores the intricate interplay between love and the longing for paradise. Set against the backdrop of the South Pacific, Frisbie's lyrical prose immerses readers in a world teeming with vivid imagery and sensory detail, depicting the allure and complexities of idealized living. The book artfully balances romantic idealism with the stark realities of island life, delving into themes of isolation, cultural encounters, and the profound impact of nature on human emotions, thus situating itself within the broader context of early 20th-century adventure literature. Frisbie, a notable American writer and traveler who spent significant time in Polynesia, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the islands. His firsthand knowledge of the region's landscapes and cultures imbues the text with authenticity and depth. Frisbie's unique blend of wistfulness and realism reflects his own struggles with identity and belonging, making this work not only a narrative of escapism but also a personal exploration of self-discovery amidst the allure of the tropical paradise. I wholeheartedly recommend 'The Island of Desire' to readers who seek both adventure and introspection. Frisbie's evocative storytelling will captivate those yearning for a deeper understanding of the nuances of desire, offering not only a glimpse into a forgotten world but also timeless insights into the human condition.

If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.

Andrew’s second book, Travels with Tracy: Tales from a Midlife Gap Year, is not your typical travel memoir. With successful careers behind them, supportive families and a lifetime of hard work up their sleeves, Andrew and Tracy decided to pack up their lives and embark on a richly diverse two-year journey through seventeen countries, across five continents.  
Brimming with unforgettable adventures and encounters with remarkable people, Andrew takes readers from the Shibuya crossing and earthquakes in Tokyo to the Louvre and the Olympics in Paris, then all the way to the Amazonian rainforest and the breathtaking Galápagos Islands.  
Closer to his home, he braves the Alps 2 Ocean trail in stunning New Zealand and discovers the wonder of crossing the Nullarbor while playing the world’s longest golf course. As their travels unfold, Andrew and Tracy begin to ponder what makes life important, think deeply about what makes us who we are, and together come to understand life’s ultimate question – who do you want to be? 
In Travels with Tracy, Andrew’s thoughtful search for truth and identity – delivered with a sharp wit and a fast pace – will inspire you to box up your life and dive headfirst into an adventure of your own.
