Irish Wonders
Irish Wonders-The Ghosts, Giants, Pooka, Demons, Leprechawns, Banshees, Fairies, Witches, Widows, Old Maids, and other Marvels of the Emerald Isle is a great collection of Irish/Celtic folklore and fairy tales about Ireland. This classic volume includes the following passage: "The wonderful imaginative power of the Celtic mind is never more strikingly displayed than in the legends and fanciful tales which people of the humbler walks of life seldom tire of telling. Go where you will in Ireland, the story-teller is there, and on slight provocation will repeat his narrative; amplifying, explaining, embellishing, till from a single fact a connected history is evolved, giving motives, particulars, action, and result, the whole surrounded by a rosy wealth of rustic imagery and told with dramatic force an actor might envy."

Malta & Gozo - Islands of Cats
A diverting read with 232 original colourful photographs for animal lovers and travellers alike. Mention the Maltese Islands and one arouses thoughts of sun, sea and beaches. Whilst enjoying the archipelago's rich offerings in history, culture, and, of course gastronomy, you cannot help but notice the feline members of the local population. You will find strays in most corners of the world, the only difference is in Malta and Gozo the cats are not scraggy and musty, in fact the opposite, they are well fed and in peak condition, with glossy fur and bright eyes. This is thanks to a group of 1,000 and more devoted carers who have taken upon themselves to be the guardians of the thousands of stray cats that inhabit the Islands. "Islands of Cats" is a photographic journey, portraying a representative 22 of these humble and dedicated caregivers. Each chapter is teeming with colourful descriptive photographs, which capture the carers and the cat colonies in genuine, unfeigned situations, and a narrative highlighting each caregiver. The book also includes interesting facts about the localities visited, besides cat related information. "Islands of Cats" is unique, as it is the first book to feature Stray Cat Carers and their work. Treat yourself and open up Chapter One in this entertaining book. Available in German (Malta & Gozo - Inseln der Katzen), English (Malta & Gozo - Islands of Cats) and Maltese (Malta & Gozo - Il-Gżejjer tal-Qtates).

Savoring the Camino de Santiago
Savoring the Camino de Santiago: It's the Pilgrimage, Not the Hike is the first book by author Julie Gianelloni Connor. The book focus on the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage trail that began around 820 AD. A resurrection of interest in the Camino since the 1970s has meant that more than 300,000 individuals are nowadays undertaking the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela each year. The author made the pilgrimage in 2016 via the French route from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, a journey of some 500 miles. Her book incorporates a blog and travel journal she kept during that pilgrimage. The book is also a memoir, with Ms. Connor explaining how and why she decided to make the pilgrimage.Savoring the Camino is also a practical guide to the Camino for those interested in it. While the prevailing culture of the Camino is to walk the route, Ms. Connor believes that walking is not the only way to undertake the route. Taking buses, taxis, or even driving are also valid ways to experience the Camino, in her opinion. She advocates for pilgrims to slow down and savor the pilgrimage by stopping in churches, cathedrals, museums, and interesting towns and cities along the route. Not everyone experiences spiritual or personal growth through the act of walking; Ms. Connor urges pilgrims to take the trip in the manner that will most connect them with their spiritual, religious, and transcendent well springs.After completing the pilgrimage, the author journeyed on to Madrid and Toledo, and there are chapters in the book covering those visits. Ms. Connor also recounts activities following the journey related to the Camino, such as writing an open letter to relevant governmental authorities in Spain and hosting a thank-you dinner in Houston for those who helped her plan and organize her pilgrimage.The book also includes a useful chapter on resources as well as an index.
Europe, Europe
In this highly acclaimed and entertaining book, already "among the touchstones of the new travel writing" (Newsweek), one of West Germany's leading authors takes us on an insider's tour of Europe in the recent past. Focusing on Italy, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Spain, and Portugal, he describes how Europe has been moving toward a new identity. Enzensberger makes a witty and knowledgeable traveling companion, delving into surprising corners and byways--from the back alleys of Budapest to the halls of the Italian mint--and striking up conversations with everyone from bankers to revolutionaries, astrologers to apparatchiks. In the process, he suggests that Europe's strength lies increasingly in embracing diversity and improvisation, not bigness and regimentation. He enables us to see with fresh eyes one of the most exciting parts of the world today.

Into Trouble
2022 Readers' Favorite award winner2022 Best Book Awards Finalist "It's honest and authentic, and quite simply an amazing story!" Barbara Noe Kennedy, former Senior Editor -- National Geographic Travel Books "A well-written account about a young man's mistake and the threat of dire consequences. Our verdict: Get it." Kirkus Reviews "Loved it! Along the lines of 'On the Road' and less depressing than 'Into the Wild'. Gorman's writing is clear and honest!" -- Victoria Irwin - Discovery In 1969, impetuous 19-year-old Paul Gorman leaves Seattle during a snowstorm seeking adventure, dodging the draft, and escaping a domineering father. With just $300 in his pocket and blind ambition, he hitchhikes to see a girl in Germany. As a harbinger of things to come, he has run-ins with cops, criminals, and cons by the time he arrives in Europe. Spurned by the girl, he searches out sunny beaches and cheap prices, settling in Spain's Canary Islands. Grifting the streets, sleeping under fishing dories, his troubles explode, as does the suspense and intrigue. Told with flair and sparkling with humor, Into Trouble tells the dramatic true story of a young man traveling alone, searching for his place in the world, and the thrills and dangers he experiences. In the spirit of Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Catch Me if You Can by Frank Abagnale, and Midnight Express by Billy Hayes, Gorman's writing is "honest and authentic." 52 years later, he is finally recounting his riveting odyssey and how it matured him.

What to Do? (Esprios Classics)
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) commonly referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer - novelist, essayist, dramatist and philosopher - as well as pacifist Christian anarchist and educational reformer. He was the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family. His first publications were three autobiographical novels, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856). They tell of a rich landowner's son and his slow realization of the differences between him and his peasants. As a fiction writer Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction.

Charanik-PB
Originally written in 1942 by Mohonlal Gangopadhyay, Charanik beautifully captures the trials and travails of the author and his friend Mirek while trekking through pre-World War II Czechoslovakia, when it was still independent and posed no problems of entering or leaving the country. The duo set out on an adventure of a lifetime, walking through the tranquil and beautiful Czechoslovak countryside. As they cross villages and small towns, and climb hills and valleys, they discover the sheer joy of walking. Meeting strangers and making new friends on the way, they realize that sometimes you have to lose your way to find yourself. Charanik has been translated by Jayanta Sengupta, who had earlier translated Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay's Chander Pahar, published as The Mountain of the Moon.
