Korea - so faszinierend wie fremd. Korea - das Land der Wunder. Für uns Europäer noch immer ein fremdes Land zwischen konfuzianischer Weisheit, rasender Modernisierung und politischer Brisanz. Simon Winchester begibt sich mitten hinein in diese fremde Kultur, er entwirft ein wahres Kaleidoskop der schillernden Bewohner des Landes, seiner Sitten und Bräuche, seiner Geschichte und seiner gesellschaftlichen Probleme und politischen Konflikte.Hinreißend anschaulicher Reisebericht und scharfsinnige Analyse zugleich.

Pressestimmen:
Seine Reisebeschreibungen nehmen den Leser Meile für Meile mit durch Korea und am Ende der knapp 400 Seiten hat man nicht nur viel gelernt, sondern auch das Gefühl, ohne Anstrengungen sehr lange sehr weit weg gewesen zu sein. NDR Kultur (Neue Bücher)

Leseprobe:

Als ich Mitte der 1980er Jahre im Auftrag einer Zeitung zum allerersten Mal nach Korea geschickt wurde, um einen Artikel über das Land zu schreiben, in dem 1988 die Olympischen Sommerspiele stattfinden sollten, stieß ich im Kreis meiner Freunde und Kollegen auf eine schier unüberwindliche Mauer von Vorurteilen und Unwissenheit. Alle hatten eine ungefähre Vorstellung und ein vages Bild von einem kalten, unwirtlichen Land mit unfreundlichen, verschlossenen Einwohnern. Niemand schien mich um diese Reise zu beneiden; fast alle meinten, ich sei zu bedauern. Die einzige Ausnahme war eine schüchterne und zurückhaltende junge Kollegin, die mich kurz vor meiner Abreise anrief. »Sie sind ein Glückspilz«, sagte sie in wehmütigem Tonfall. »Korea ist das vielleicht herrlichste Land der Welt. Es ist einfach : Continue Reading for Korea - Zu Fuß durch das Land der Wunder: Zu Fuss durch das Land der Wunder

Teaching in the Land of Kimchi: Discovering South Korea As a Working Ground

Teaching in the Land of Kimchi: Discovering South Korea As a Working Ground

Teaching in the Land of Kimchi: Discovering South Korea As a Working Ground , Price: $14.00 -

There has been an exploding demand for native English speakers to come and teach English in South Korea. English programs and English academies have been spreading like wildfire, and in the ups and downs of the economy, university graduates, travelers, and people from all walks of life are packing their bags and taking advantage of the English boom.

Korean institutions are paying good money and offering excellent benefits to Westerners who are willing to explore the unfamiliar, pack up their bags, and teach Korea

About the Author

Melissa Christine Karpinski has spent five years traveling on and off through East and Southeast Asia. She has become quite familiar with South Korea and its culture while working as an English teacher for nearly two and a half years and for six different institutions. She has taught English to employees and CEOs of big companies such as Texas Instruments Korea (currently Sensata), Samsung Electronics, and Namyang Aloe. She has also taught elementary and high school children of all ages in Korean English academies and an elementary school.

After her first year living and working in South Korea, Melissa recognized there was not enough information or publication material available about the opportunities in the country. Most books about Korea were geared for the traveler and sightseer and focused mainly on tourist destinations. Melissa wanted to compile useful information about how and where to get a teaching job, what to really expect while living and working in Korean culture, and what to be aware of when choosing a contract. Aside from her own, she also wanted to share other teachers

Crashed and Byrned: The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw

Crashed and Byrned: The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw

Crashed and Byrned: The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw , Price: $13.95 -

Winner of the William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year Award

“One of the most extraordinary sporting autobiographies you are likely to come across.”—Daily Telegraph

Crashed and Byrned is the thrilling tale of a poverty-stricken kid’s rise to become the only driver Formula One legend Ayrton Senna ever feared—and how it all went wrong from there. For a brief moment Tommy Byrne was arguably the world’s greatest driver, the equivalent of Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali rolled into one. But in a sport where talent isn’t always as important as the money you bring to the table, he was almost doomed from the start. With all the chips stacked against him, he became the 1980 Double British Formula Ford 1600 champion, the 1981 British Formula Ford 2000 champion and the European Formula Ford 2000 champion. In 1982—having also become British F3 champion—he entered F1, but by the following year had disappeared without trace.

This is the true story of Byrne’s improbable escape from the streets of Dundalk, Ireland, his rapid rise, and his fall from grace. From his hardscrabble childhood to navigating Irish sectarian violence, and from the spectacular trials of the racing circuit in the 1980s to the time he spent driving for a rich, gun-toting Mexican playboy—Byrne’s memoir details how he finally found peace within himself and became an instructor for high school students, professional drivers (Al Unser III), and rock stars (Vince Neil) alike. Peppered with dark humor, the insights of fellow F1 racers, and a cast of over-the-top characters, this book is raw, passionate, and—with Byrne’s ability to tell it like it is—not for the faint-hearted.
