360° NordAmerika. Kanada und USA - Reisen, Natur und Gesellschaft

Ontario und das benachbarte Québec stehen im Fokus dieser Ausgabe: Karl-Hans Kern nimmt uns mit auf eine herbstliche Rundreise - mit Stopps unter anderem im Thousand Islands National Park und Parc national de la Mauricie. Auf den Spuren von "Chief Inspector Gamache" aus den Krimis der Bestsellerautorin Louise Penny war Martin Wein unterwegs - und hat viel Wissen von den Schauplätzen mitgebracht. Nach seiner Reportage ist ein Buch der Autorin fast schon Pflichtlektüre. In die ganz eigene Welt unterhalb von Montréal ist Ole Helmhausen hinabgestiegen: Die Ville Souterraine gilt laut Guinness World Records als größtes unterirdisches Fußgängernetz der Welt. Wiederum in Alberta nimmt uns Jörg Michel mit in seine zwischenzeitliche Heimat: Er hat mehrere Jahre in Banff und Jasper gelebt und stellt nun zehn besonders lohnende Stopps, Aktivitäten und Unterkünfte vor. 
Südlich der Grenze lässt sich in Wisconsin manches entdecken, was Einwanderer aus Deutschland und anderen europäischen Ländern an kulinarischer Tradition mit in die Vereinigten Staaten gebracht haben. Bei einer Rundreise am Westufer des Lake Michigan erwartet Besucher zudem ein vielfältiger Mix aus der Natur mit 15.000 Seen, NFL und Harley Davidson. Und ebenfalls im Norden der USA lockt Neuengland - nicht nur im Herbst, wie Christiane Flechtner zu berichten weiß.Eine der ältesten Städte Amerikas hat Verena Wolff für Sie erkundet: Mobile in Alabama. Christian Dose war auf einem Roadtrip in Kalifornien unterwegs. Besonders begeistert hat ihn Lake Tahoe, für viele der schönste Bergsee der USA. Und weiter südlich lautet sein Fazit: Mariposa County ist mehr als nur der beliebte Yosemite National Park. Das kleine Mariposa ist ein Goldgräberstädtchen wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Beim anschließenden Besuch des Parks traf er unter anderem Yosemite-Legende Ken Yager, Initiator des sogenannten Facelifts im Park und Gründer des Climbing Museums.

So when her parents announce they’re separating, and Ellis has to move with her mom from NYC to Bramble Falls, Connecticut, it couldn’t come at a worse time. Especially as Ellis has no time for distractions, and Bramble Falls has the biggest one of all – local barista Cooper Barnett, former best friend and first kiss, now majorly glowed-up and ignoring Ellis completely. With her aunt roping her into helping plan The Falling Leaves Festival, the biggest event on the Bramble Falls calendar, Ellis can’t stop bumping into Cooper, and can’t help but fall in love with the town and the people in it. As her return to Manhattan gets pushed further and further back, Ellis is caught between the future each place represents. Maybe there are some things you can’t plan for…

THE LATEST SHORT STORY COLLECTION FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MATRIX'Brawler captures a towering talent.' FINANCIAL TIMES'Groff conjures a whole world in each brilliant story.' CLAIRE FULLER'You'll walk away feeling more connected to other people and with more compassion for yourself.' HARPER'S BAZAAR'Groff reminds us of the myriad human galaxies around us, spinning off brightly into the dark.' MELISSA HARRISONRanging from the 1950s to the present day and moving across age, class, and region - from New England to Florida to California - these nine stories reflect and expand upon a single shared theme: the ceaseless battle between the dark and light in all of us.Among those caught in this match are a young woman suddenly responsible for her disabled sibling; a hot-tempered high school swimmer in need of an adult; a mother blinded by the loss of her family; and a banking scion endowed with a different kind of inheritance. Motivated by love, impeded by human fallibility, they try to do the right thing for as long as they can.Precise, surprising and provocative, anchored by profound insight into human nature, Brawler reveals the repeated fracture points between love and fear, compassion and violence, reason and instinct, altruism and survival. It is a timeless, stunning achievement from one of the very best short story writers working today.Praise for Lauren Groff'Her writing has a timeless quality' The Times on The Vaster Wilds 'Groff's writing is muscular and precise, her themes wildly resonant' Sunday Times on Matrix 'An audacious piece of storytelling, full of passion, wisdom and magic' Sarah Waters on Matrix 'It's as brightly lit as an illuminated manuscript' Naomi Alderman on Matrix 'One of its stories is a bracing read; together they form a masterpiece' Stylist on Florida 'She's a writer whose turn of phrase can stop you in your tracks' Financial Times on Florida 'Easily the year's best story collection' Vogue on Florida

Something is unfolding in the distance at the edge of the forest - something sinister that is watching them back. The adults don't seem to notice that the youngest of the group has disappeared. Too busy bickering over politics and reminiscing about the family's domineering late matriarch, Beezy, they leave the children with no choice but to get Abi back themselves. As the cousins embark on a quest through their grandmother's sprawling estate, buried family secrets come to light and long-awaited plans are set in motion. Will they lose themselves while trying to find her? Idle Grounds is a chilling, evocative and darkly comic debut about childhood, legacy, and the burdens and privileges we carry with us.
