New 7 Wonders of the World was an initiative started in 2001 to choose another Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments. The popularity poll was led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foun- dation based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Atlas Obscura
Wondrous, curious, and bizarre locations around the world
Obskure Orte auf der ganzen Welt

(E?)(L1) http://www.atlasobscura.com/

Atlas Obscura is the definitive guide to the world's wondrous and curious places.

In an age where everything seems to have been explored and there is nothing new to be found, we celebrate a different way of looking at the world. If you're searching for miniature cities, glass flowers, books bound in human skin, gigantic flaming holes in the ground, bone churches, balancing pagodas, or homes built entirely out of paper, the Atlas Obscura is where you'll find them.

Atlas Obscura is a collaborative project. We depend on our far-flung community of explorers (like you!) to help us discover amazing, hidden spots, and share them with the world. If you know of a curious place that's not already in the Atlas, let us know.

There is plenty out there to discover, so let's start looking!

getty - The Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names - TGN
Orts-Koordinaten auf der Erde

Man gibt einen "Ort" ein - wenn der Name gefunden wird erhält man die Ortskoordinaten und einige weitere Informationen und Links.

Der "Thesaurus (weltweiter) geografischer Namen" liefert zwar nur gelegentlich auch etymologische Hinweise zu den über 1Mio. erfassten Ortsnamen. Dennoch kann er ganz hilfreich bei der Suche nach Zusammenhängen zwischen Ortsnamen sein, wie etwa "Amsterdam" und "New Amsterdam". - Oder suchen Sie mal nach "Paris". Dabei kann man erfahren, dass "Bukarest" folgende Namen haben kann: "Bucuresti" (name first documented in document of Vlad Tepes (the Impaler) from 1459) | "Bükres" | "Bucuresci" | "Bucarest" | "Bucharest" | "Bukarest" | "Bukharest" | "Bukhorest" | "Little Paris"

(E?)(L1) http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/


(E?)(L1) http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabulary/tgn/

The TGN is a structured vocabulary containing around 912,000 records, including 1.1 million names, place types, coordinates, and descriptive notes, focusing on places important for the study of art and architecture.


Ein Beispiel für eine etymologische Randnotiz ist z.B. der der Ortsname "Buffalo", der nicht auf ehemalige Büffelherden zurückgeht, sondern vermutlich eine Verballhornung von frz. "beau fleuve" = "beautiful river" = "schöner Fluß" darstellt:

Coordinates:
Lat: 42 53 00 N degrees minutes Lat: 42.8833 decimal degrees
Long: 078 52 00 W degrees minutes Long: -78.8667 decimal degrees

Note: Located on Lake Erie where it narrows into Niagara River; here explorer La Salle built ship in 1679; was French trading post in 1758, but abandoned; then settled by Seneca Indians, taken by Holland Land Company 19th cen.; expanded greatly after Civil War.

Names:
Buffalo (preferred, C,V,N) ............ early name, probably was mispronunciation of French "beau fleuve" ("beautiful river"); no buffalo (bison) inhabited the area
New Amsterdam (H,V,N)

Les noms de villes les plus étranges

(E?)(L?) www.linternaute.com/voyage/magazine/villes-aux-noms-improbables/

Ces villages et ces villes du monde portent des noms tellement étonnants qu'ils justifient à eux seuls une visite. Lors de vos prochains voyages, n'hésitez pas à passer dans la petite ville de "Å" (prononcer "O"), un ancien village de pêcheurs aujourd'hui reconverti dans le tourisme, situé dans les îles Lofoten en Norvège. Si de nombreuses villes norvégiennes portent ce nom considéré comme l'un des plus courts du monde, c'est ici qu'il faut se rendre pour observer de sublimes paysages, faire de la randonnée, des musées et voir le soleil de minuit. Son nom provient du mot "rivière" en vieux norrois.

The place names of the Maghreb come from a variety of origins, mostly Arabic and Berber, but including a few derived from Phoenician, Latin, and several other languages. This is well illustrated by the three largest cities of Algeria, for instance: Algiers from Arabic al-jaza'ir "the islands", Oran from Wahran from berber wa-iharan "place of lions" and Constantine (Arabic Qasantina ???) from the Latin name of the emperor Constantine. For a Phoenician name, one has to look a little harder, but take, for instance, Jijel, shortened from Latin Igilgili, from Phoenician i gilgilt "Island of the Skull" (according to Lipinski.)

The following toponymic elements are common in place names in the Maghreb:

Atlas der literarischen Orte
Entdeckungsreisen zu den Schauplätzen der Weltliteratur

(E?)(L?) http://barbarasternthal.at/publikationen/atlas_der_literarischen_orte/

Von Paris über London nach Dublin, von Florenz bis Neapel, von Monterey bis Catagena und zurück zum Mississippi: Die Schauplätze der wesentlichen Romane der Literaturgeschichte sind über die ganze Welt verteilt. Sarah Baxter hat sich in ihrem neuen Buch diesen literarischen Orten rund um den Globus angenähert und führt uns in pulsierende Städte, an Plätze spiritueller Ruhe und Zurückgezogenheit, in spektakuläre Landschaften, unberührte Natur – an jene Orte eben, von denen sich die großen Literaten inspirieren ließen.

Die wichtigsten Bücher der Literaturgeschichte spielen auf der ganzen Welt. Sarah Baxter bereist in ihrem neuen Buch literarische Orte rund um den Globus: Pulsierende Städte voller Urbanität, Plätze spiritueller Ruhe und Zurückgezogenheit, spektakuläre Landschaften, unberührte Natur, Plätze, die Weltliteratur inspiriert haben.

Wir entdecken die Weiten von La Mancha mit Don Quixote, besuchen Clara del Valle im Geisterhaus in Santiago, spazieren über den Alexanderplatz in Berlin oder streifen mit Cathy und Heathcliff durch das Moor von Yorkshire. Jeder Ort hat eine besondere Geschichte: Baxter verknüpft die Geschichte und Kultur des realen Ortes mit seiner literarischen Wirkung bis in unsere Gegenwart. Handgemalte Illustration mit liebevollen Details komplettieren diese Liebeserklärung an die Phantasie.

Sarah Baxter, Autorin, ist Mitherausgeberin von Wanderlust, der Bibel für Individualreisende. Sie schreibt u.a. für den Guardian, The Telegraph und für Runner’s World und hat mehrere Lonely Planet Bücher verfasst. Zuletzt erschienen ihre beiden Bücher A History of the World in 500 Walks sowie A History of the World in 500 Railway Journeys.

Barbara Sternthal, Übersetzerin, promovierte Theater- und Kommunikationswissenschaftlerin, war in der Werbung, Regieassistentin bei George Tabori und Cheflektorin in einem renommierten Verlag, bevor sie sich selbstständig machte. Heute schreibt und übersetzt sie Bücher. Ihre thematischen Schwerpunkte: Biografien, Reisen, Kunst, Kultur, Architektur und Design. Zahlreiche Publikationen zum Wiener Fin de Siècle, über Venedig und vieles mehr. Sie lebt in Wien und ist so oft wie möglich in Italien.

Eine Reise durch die Welt der Literatur zum Nachschmökern, Mitreisen und Weiterlesen.

Der Buchumschlag kommt eher unscheinbar daher. Doch blättert man die Seiten durch, nehmen einen sofort die farbintensiven und kraftvollen Illustrationen gefangen. Noch schöner wird es, wenn man zu lesen beginnt: die Reisejournalistin führt den Leser zu realen Landschaften und Städten der Weltliteratur. Da wandert man durch die Landschaft Yorkshires auf den Spuren von Emily Bronte, flaniert über den Alexanderplatz Berlin mit Alfred Döblin, besucht mit James Joyces "Ulysses" Dublin, mit Graham Greens "Der stille Amerikaner" Saigon oder mit Elena Ferrante Neapel. Die Texte zu den insgesamt 25 Schauplätzen der Weltliteratur umfassen jeweils 2 bis 3 Seiten und verbinden aktuelle Eindrücke mit den Momentaufnahmen der damaligen Zeit. Die anregenden Beschreibungen inspirieren dazu, die Romane zu lesen und den einen oder anderen Ort als nächstes Urlaubsziel zu wählen.

Atlas der spirituellen Welt
Eine Reise zu mythischen Kraftplätzen und religiösen Pilgerstätten

(E?)(L?) http://barbarasternthal.at/publikationen/atlas_der_sprituellen_orte/

144 Seiten, Erschienen: 2018, Brandstätter Verlag, Wien

Übersetzung aus dem Englischen

Warum wurden Kathedralen fast immer an Orten erbaut, an denen sich in grauer Vorzeit bereits heidnische Weiheplätze befanden? Warum wandern Menschen immer noch auf alten Pilgerwegen, auch wenn sie gar nicht religiös sind? Warum empfinden die Kraft eines Ortes selbst jene, die Esoterik für reinen Humbug halten?

Die Reise-Journalistin Sarah Baxter entführt uns zu den spirituellen Orten unseres Planeten: von den jungsteinzeitlichen Steinstatuen auf den Osterinseln bis zum mittelalterlichen Pilgerweg nach Santiago de Compostela, vom mythologischen Wohnsitz der Götter auf dem Olymp bis zum tiefblauen Kratersee des Mount Mazama in Oregon, der bis heute als heilige Stätte verehrt wird.

Vom Naturschauspiel des Saut d’Eau-Wasserfalls auf Haiti, wo sich Voodoo-Gläubige ihren Reinigungsritualen hingeben, bis zur Millionenstadt Varanasi: Wessen Asche hier in den Ganges gestreut wird, so heißt es, der kann den Kreislauf der ewigen Wiedergeburt durchbrechen.

Ein Reiseführer für „mindful travellers“ mit inspirierenden Geschichten und 50 außergewöhnlichen Illustrationen. Und das perfekte Geschenk für alle, die sich auf eine spirituelle Reise begeben wollen.

Wer auf Partys mit Geschichten von Reisen in exotische Länder auftrumpfen kann, hat schon gewonnen. Aber muss man dafür unbedingt dort gewesen sein?

Keineswegs, meint Pierre Bayard, der uns schon mit seinem Bestseller »Wie man über Bücher spricht, die man nicht gelesen hat« vergnüglich das Leben erleichterte.

Wie fürs Plaudern über Ungelesenes gibt es auch für das entspannte Sprechen über nicht besuchte Orte berühmte Vorbilder: Karl May hat Winnetous Wilden Westen nie gesehen; Marco Polo, der angeblich jahrelang in China lebte, füllte sein Buch mit Fabelwesen. Selbst Jules Vernes Romanfigur Phileas Fogg trägt ein enzyklopädisches Wissen über die Welt zur Schau, die er in 80 Tagen wie im Blindflug umkreist hat. Auch Journalisten, Philosophen und Wissenschaftler schwadronierten munter über Erlebnisse aus zweiter Hand: Kant hob die Welt aus den Angeln, ohne Königsberg zu verlassen; Margaret Mead stellte mit weitgehend fiktiven Berichten über das Sexuallebenauf Samoa die Anthropologie auf den Kopf.

Bayards höchst unterhaltsame Typologie des Nichtreisens singt das Lob des sesshaften Reisenden: praktische Lebenshilfe für alle, die lieber zu Hause bleiben und trotzdem mitreden wollen.

Pierre Bayard, geboren 1954, hat mehrere literarische Essays veröffentlicht und lebt als Literaturprofessor und Psychoanalytiker in Paris.

Spätestens seit Google Earth ist die Welt bis in den letzten Winkel erforscht und vermessen. Es gibt keine unbekannten Orte mehr, keine unberührten Eilande, nichts mehr zu entdecken - oder etwa doch?

Alastair Bonnett stellt in diesem Buch faszinierende und außergewöhnliche Orte vor, die unsere Vorstellungen von der Welt gehörig durcheinanderbringen. Sie tauchen auf und unter, wie die Inseln im Gangesdelta, verschwinden von Satellitenbildern, wie Sandy Island vor der australischen Küste, oder verstecken sich unter Gebüsch und Gestrüpp, das alle Spuren überwuchert, wie auf der britischen Halbinsel Arne. Unterhaltsam und leichtfüßig werden Orte wie "Bir Tawil" in Ostafrika beschrieben, die partout keine Nation haben will, oder Orte, die scheinbar zu zwei Nationalstaaten gleichzeitig gehören. Berichtet wird von versteckten Labyrinthen, unterirdischen, verlassenen oder überbauten Städten ebenso wie von ihrer historischen Entwicklung. Lehrreich, aber nicht belehrend führt Bonnett durch geographische Kuriositäten und zeigt, dass auch für den heutigen Menschen das Entdecken nie aufhört.

Atlas der erfundenen Orte
Die größten Irrtümer und Lügen auf Landkarten

DTV, Erscheinungsjahr: 2017, 256 Seiten, Höhe: 246 mm, Durchgehend vierfarbig

Zu schön, um wahr zu sein

Kalifornien als Insel, versunkene Königreiche und das irdische Paradies - diese und andere gefühlten Fakten haben Kartografen quer durch die Jahrhunderte fein säuberlich in ihren Atlanten festgehalten. Dabei hatten manche dieser Phantome ein erstaunlich langes Leben.

Nach einer im 17. Jahrhundert der Phantasie entsprungenen Insel im Golf von Mexiko etwa hat man bis 2009 gesucht. Dann gab man sich geschlagen. Wo nahm der Irrglaube seinen Anfang? Warum wurden geografische Orte aufgezeichnet, die es gar nicht gab? Und was faszinierte die Menschen an all den bizarren Geschichten und Gestalten?

Die hier vorgestellten historischen Karten präsentieren neben mancher tatsächlichen Entdeckung von Reisenden und Forschern vor allem Erfindungen und Irrtümer. Zusammen mit spannenden Begleittexten ergeben sie ein amüsantes Buch zum Blättern, Staunen und Wundern.

»Vom Magnetberg am Nordpol bis zum Süßwassermeer in Australien - Edward Brooke-Hitching blättert 500 Jahre falscher Karten auf.« The Guardian

Zahlreiche Abbildungen in bunten Farben machen diesen Band zu einem ganz besonderen Lesevergnügen.

Edward Brooke-Hitching ist ein preisgekrönter britischer Dokumentarfilmer, der sich vor allem für die exzentrischen Seiten des Lebens interessiert. Der Sohn eines Antiquars arbeitete in einer Eisfabrik, bei mehreren Zeitungen und am Theater, ehe er einen Abschluss in Filmwissenschaft an der University of Exeter machte. Ausgangspunkt für seine Recherche in Sachen geografischer Phantome war eine historische Karte aus dem Fundus der Familie. Er ist ein unverbesserlicher Kartenfreak und lebt in London zwischen staubigen alten Büchern.

Co-life (Autor)
100 einzigartige Orte, die schon bald verschwinden könnten

Gebundene Ausgabe: 290 Seiten
Verlag: Knesebeck (24. Februar 2010)
Sprache: Deutsch


Nicht nur die Malediven, sondern auch Venedig, Bangkok, New York und Rotterdam, das Mississippi-Delta und viele weitere einzigartige Plätze auf der Welt sind vom Untergang bedroht, wenn die Temperatur unseres Planeten weiterhin ansteigt. Der mit dem Nobelpreis ausgezeichnete IPCC Report (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) hat diese Tatsache in erschreckender Weise dokumentiert, und Co+life führt uns nun auf der Basis dieser Studie eine Auswahl von 100 der schönsten Orte auf der ganzen Welt in einem Bildband vor. Die Bilder der besten Fotografen von Getty Image werden begleitet von Texten, die die Geschichte der Plätze und ihre besondere Problematik schildern. Die Bedrohung liegt nicht in einer fernen Zukunft, sondern könnte schon in den nächsten Jahren stattfinden. Menschliche Kulturen würden verschwinden und die wirtschaftliche Basis vieler Bewohner. Muss es so kommen? Nicht, wenn wir die Appelle an die Vernunft des Menschen erhören, die uns dieses Buch auf eindrucksvolle Weise nahebringt.

Informationen zum Buch

Was ist ein Gründungsort? Wie werden solche Orte gemacht und gepflegt? Was für Geschichten werden mit ihnen erzählbar und für wen? Welche Widerstände oder Widersprüche fordern sie heraus?

Der Band präsentiert die Ergebnisse des internationalen Abschlusssymposiums der Forschergruppe »Anfänge (in) der Moderne« an der LMU München. Die Beiträge befassen sich mit fiktiven wie realen Gründungsorten des 19. bis 21. Jahrhunderts. Ob St. Petersburg, Jerusalem, Washington/D.C. und Florenz oder die Künstlerkolonien in der Bretagne, die Inseln der Südsee und die Occupy-Camps oder aber auch Tlön, Wolkenkuckucksheim und der literarische Spaziergang - die Anfänge sind so vielfältig wie die Orte, an denen sie stattfinden. Die Autoren betrachten diese gemeinsame Konstruktion von Anfang und Ort in verschiedenen Medien in Hinblick auf ihre symbolische, politische, historische, kulturelle und ästhetische Bedeutung.

Die Welt ist voller seltsamer und geheimnisvoller Orte: dem Meer abgetrotzte Landstriche, verlassene Inseln, unterirdische Labyrinthe, rätselhafte Ruinen voller Geschichte und Geschichten, eine Stadt, die vollständig unter Lava begraben ist, ein Fantasiepalast, errichtet aus Versatzstücken europäischer Architekturen, ein irisches Schloss, in dem es Tag und Nacht spukt.

Travis Elborough, Kulturjournalist und Weltreisender mit einem Blick für das Ungewöhnliche, ja Unmögliche, hat die unwahrscheinlichsten Plätze der Welt erkundet und sie in einen Atlas des Staunens eingeschrieben. Er nimmt uns mit auf seine Reise zu verwaisten Städten, unerhörten Plätzen und abgelegenen Winkeln, erzählt ihre Geschichte und entführt uns Leser zu Orten, die unseren kühnsten Träumen entsprungen sein könnten.

Wir benutzen Karten, wenn wir einen Ort auf der Welt finden wollen. Aber was ist mit all jenen Orten, die nirgends mehr verzeichnet sind? Wo findet man einst großartige Städte, die unter neuen Siedlungen verborgen liegen, Landschaften, die vom Wasser völlig neu geformt wurden, oder Plätze, die einfach spurlos verschwunden sind?

Travis Elborough nimmt seine Leser mit auf eine Reise zu längst untergegangenen, gerade verschwindenden oder bald nicht mehr existierenden Orten. Auf eigens angefertigten Karten sieht man die heutige Geografie im Vergleich zum ursprünglichen oder künftigen Zustand.

Mit seinen geistreichen und kurzweiligen Informationen ist dieses Buch ein faszinierendes Erlebnis für alle, die Geografie und Geschichte auf neue Art entdecken möchten.

Atlas der ungezähmten Welt
Eine Reise zu extremen Landschaften, unberührten Plätzen und wilden Orten

(E?)(L?) http://barbarasternthal.at/publikationen/atlas_der_ungezaehmten_welt/

208 Seiten, Erschienen: 2017, Brandstätter Verlag, Wien

Übersetzung aus dem Englischen

Wir haben die Natur unter unsere Kontrolle gebracht.

Wo sich früher weiße Flecken auf den Landkarten befanden, durchziehen heute Straßen die Landschaft, breiten sich Städte aus, werden Flüsse reguliert. Es regiert eine gewisse Unformität, und was Natur war, ist durch und durch domestiziert.

Und so bleibt das wahrhaft Faszinierende die unberechenbare Wildnis – jene ungezähmte Natur, die sich ihre eigene Ordnung schafft und die sich in keinen Rahmen pressen lässt.

Chris Fitch, Geograf und Reisejournalist, hat diese wilden Welten gefunden – manchmal weit abgelegen und exotisch, manchmal scheinbar vertraut und erforscht, tatsächlich jedoch immer voller Geheimnisse und unbeantworteter Fragen.

Er nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Entdeckungsreise zu nie erklommenen Gipfeln, lebensgefährlichen Küsten und verlassenen Orten, die sich die Natur zurückerobert hat.

Mit seinen Geschichten über Wüsten und ewiges Eis, geheimnisvolle Höhlen und entlegene Inseln werden wir selbst zu kühnen Entdeckern von Weltgegenden, die unsere wildesten Fantasien nicht erfinden könnten.

Ein Atlas der Berührungspunkte zwischen den Welten, ein Atlas aller Orte seltsamen Geschehens auf der Erde, der den weltumspannenden Charakter der Phänomene belegt!

Wussten Sie, dass schon Goethe bei Leipzig auf eine geheimnisvolle Lichterscheinung traf? Dass das Wunder von Fátima in Portugal bis heute nicht befriedigend erklärt werden kann? Wo trifft man am ehesten auf wohlwollende Außerirdische? Wie kann man mit Sternenintelligenz kommunizieren? Seit den ersten »fliegenden Untertassen«, die 1947 beobachtet wurden, haben mehrere Ufo-Sichtungswellen Tausende von Informationen geliefert und zu den verrücktesten Theorien angeregt. Militär und Wissenschaft, Nachrichtendienste und internationale Organisationen haben genügend Daten gesammelt, um das Phänomen heute kartografisch erfassen zu können.

Beobachtungsplätze, versteckte Basen, geheime Botschaften, jahrtausendealte Spuren: Vom Ufo-Flughafen von Arés bis zur geheimnisumwitterten Area 51 werden in Form eines Atlanten erstmals die Orte dargestellt, an denen Menschen auf mysteriöse »Extraterrestrische Biologische Einheiten« trafen.

Eine spannende Lektüre für Ufologen und Skeptiker.

Atlas der unentdeckten Länder

(E?)(L?) http://www.rowohlt.de/hardcover/dennis-gastmann-atlas-der-unentdeckten-laender.html

Nach Marco Polo, Kolumbus und Vasco da Gama geht der nächste große Entdecker auf Reisen. Dennis Gastmann erkundet die letzten unentdeckten Länder dieser Welt: "Akhzivland", "Karakalpakstan", "R’as al-Chaima" - magische Orte, fern, unbekannt oder vergessen. So steuert Gastmann an Bord eines Seelenverkäufers auf "Pitcairn" zu, einen Felsen in der Südsee, auf dem die Nachfahren der Meuterer von der Bounty leben. Sie bitten ihn, für immer zu bleiben - es fehlt an jungen Leuten. Er wandert durch die tausendjährige Mönchsrepublik auf dem Berg Athos, in der Touristen unerwünscht sind, Frauen ein Skandal - die bärtigen heiligen Männer wollen unter sich bleiben. Gastmann taucht mit einem Rudel Haie in Palau, der weltweit ersten Haischutzzone, und sucht nach Liebe in "Transnistrien", einem Mafiastaat, der Besuchern rät: «Fahren Sie lieber nach Spanien!» Er gerät in Wüstenstürme, strandet tagelang in einem Flughafenterminal und wird zum letzten Kaiser von Ladonien gekrönt ...

Dennis Gastmann begibt sich auf eine Reise zu den Ausläufern unserer Zivilisation. Wie sieht es dort aus? Wie lebt man dort? Und was sagt das über den Rest unserer durchorganisierten Erde? Eine aufregende Mischung aus Douglas Adams und Herodot - und ein einzigartiges Reiseabenteuer.

Akhzivland is a micronation between Nahariya and the Lebanese border on the Israeli west coast. The state was founded by Eli Avivi in 1972. The micronation is promoted by the Israel Ministry of Tourism even though its legal status remains ambiguous.[2][3]

The micronation is located near the ruins of Achziv, an ancient settlement on the Mediterranean coast in the Western Galilee, about 5 kilometers north of Nahariya. A national park, field school, and the ruins of the Palestinian village of Az-Zeeb, which was captured by the Carmeli Brigade during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, are located nearby.

Atlas literarischer Orte
Von Wunderland bis Mittelerde

(E?)(L?) https://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/buecher/rezensionen/kinderbuch/der-atlas-der-literarischen-orte-von-cris-f-oliver-und-julio-fuentes-16089788.html

Wo strandet Gulliver? Und wo liegt eigentlich Phantásien? Der „Atlas der literarischen Orte“ von Cris F. Oliver und Julio Fuentes kennt die Antwort.

Auf der Suche nach Kafkas Dämonen durch Prag, mit Thomas Mann den Zauberberg in den Schweizer Bergen hinauf, auf den Spuren von James Joyce durch die Pubs von Dublin: Die beliebten „literarischen Reisen“ folgen der Sehnsucht, in der realen Welt die Vorstellungen und Orte zu suchen, die sich beim Lesen gebildet haben. Die Literaturwissenschaft geht einen Schritt weiter und hat sich, womöglich aufgerüttelt von überraschend unpräzisen literarischen Angaben wie Goethes „irgendwo im Kanton Uri“ (im Singspiel „Jery und Bätely“) gemeinsam mit Kartographen darangemacht, den Forschungszweig der Literaturgeographie zu begründen und der Sache mit raumtheoretischen Überlegungen und statistischen Methoden auf den Grund zu gehen.

Radikaler noch erscheint der Ansatz der spanischen Autorin Cris F. Oliver, einen „Atlas literarischer Orte“ vorzulegen, der diese nicht in der Realwelt aufspürt, sondern in die Literatur hineinführt. An dreißig Orte führt der Atlas mit knappen Zusammenfassungen des Geschehens, Reisetipps für die fiktive Welt und weiter gehenden Hinweisen und Informationen: Zeitlich, hinsichtlich des Erstdrucks, geht es von „Gullivers Reisen“ aus dem Jahr 1726 bis zum aktuellen „Eleanor und Park“ von 2013. Gezaubert wird in „Harry Potters“ Hogwarts oder auf dem Archipel Erdsee – und der doppelbödige Hinweis fehlt nicht, es gäbe interessante „Parallelen“ zwischen der Zauberersaga, die das Genre „Zauberschule“ begründete, und dem dreißig Jahre später erschienenen „Harry Potter“: „Wie Harry ist der Protagonist von ,Der Magier der Erdsee‘ ein jugendlicher Zauberer und besitzt eine Narbe, die ihm sein Erzfeind zugefügt hat und die ihm Schmerzen bereitet, wenn dieser in der Nähe ist.“

Schultz, Patricia
1000 Places to see before you die
Die Lebensliste für den Weltreisenden
Deutsche Ausgabe

Auch mit einigen Hinweisen zu Ländernamen und Ortsnamen.

Broschiert: 974 Seiten
Verlag: Ullmann/Tandem (März 2007)
Sprache: Deutsch


Manche Menschen markieren auf einer Weltkarte mit kleinen Stecknadeln diejenigen Orte, die sie bereits bereist haben - und jene, von denen sie träumen. Wer den amerikanischen Nummer-1-Bestseller 1000 places to see before you die liest, muss sich vermutlich sowohl eine größere Weltkarte als auch schachtelweise Nadeln anschaffen. Denn was die renommierte Reiseführerautorin Patricia Schultz nach sieben intensiven Recherchejahren als „Best of the world“ zusammengetragen hat, liefert Stoff für viele Träume und ausgiebiges Nadelstechen.

Jetzt ist das knapp 1000-seitige Taschenbuch, deren übersichtliche Lesestücke durch kleine Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien ergänzt werden, auch auf Deutsch erschienen und trägt den passenden Untertitel „Die Lebensliste für den Weltreisenden“. In kurzer, aber prägnanter Weise beschreibt Schultz die aufregendsten Städte, ungewöhnlichsten Hotels, erlesensten Restaurants, berauschendsten Feste, eindruckvollsten Museen und atemberaubendsten Naturlandschaften der Welt. Gleichzeitig macht sie klar, dass Reisende unterschiedliche Prioritäten haben und andererseits auch jeder Ort auf jeden Menschen anders wirkt - eine unprätentiöse, weise und angenehme Grundeinstellung.

Welche Orte haben es nun in den touristischen Olymp geschafft? Klar, dass Ayers Rock, Pekings Verbotene Stadt, Petra in Jordanien und die großen Pyramiden von Gizeh in Schultz’ Liste nicht fehlen dürfen. Doch erstaunt werden Sie sich die Augen reiben, wenn Ihnen vom Schneefestival in Sapporo, dem Meeresschutzpark von Saba, und dem - ja wirklich - Superdawg-Hotdog-Stand in Chicago vorgeschwärmt wird. Deutschland füllt immerhin knapp 20 Seiten - inklusive Münchner Oktoberfest, dem 1a-Hotel Traube Tonbach und der Fachwerkstadt Quedlinburg. Bezeichnend jedoch ist, dass Berlin im Gegensatz zu Wien, Paris, Rom und Co. keine Top-Ten-Auflistung seiner Sehenswürdigkeiten zugestanden wird.

Zwei weitere Wermutstropfen gibt es bei der Lektüre dieses in dieser Art einmaligen Lesebuchs zu schlucken. Zum einen stammt der Originaltext aus dem Jahr 2003, was in den meisten Fällen nicht zum Tragen kommt, an einigen Stellen jedoch lediglich Vergangenes beschreibt. Prominentes Beispiel ist New Orleans, wo seit dem Wirbelsturm Katrina nichts mehr so ist, wie es war und im Buch noch seitenlang beschrieben wird. Zum anderen tut sich die Übersetzung an manchen Stellen doch etwas schwer mit einer gelungenen Übertragung von flapsigen englischen Ausdrücken in die dafür manchmal wenig kompatible deutsche Sprache. An den Titel haben sich die Übersetzer erst gar nicht gewagt, sondern gleich im Original gelassen.

Verlag: Thorbecke; Auflage: 1., Aufl. (18. September 2006)

Kurzbeschreibung
Entdecker wie Marco Polo, Christoph Columbus, James Cook und Alexander von Humboldt gehören zu den bekanntesten Persönlichkeiten der Geschichte und sind die Helden unserer Kindheit. Wer wäre nicht gern wie sie aufgebrochen, um unbekannte Welten zu erforschen und Abenteuer zu bestehen. Ohne sie sähe unser heutiges Bild der Welt ganz anders aus. Spannend und anschaulich erzählt Dierk Suhr von bekannten und weniger bekannten, doch nicht minder "großen" Entdeckern, wie z.B. dem Wikinger Erik dem Roten. Ihre Lebensgeschichte, ihre Abenteuer und ihr Forscherdrang werden in seiner "Kleinen Geschichte der großen Entdecker" lebendig.

Tocqueville, Aude de
Atlas der verlorenen Städte

(E?)(L?) https://www.jokers.de/artikel/buch/atlas-der-verlorenen-staedte_19891293-1

Weltreise ins Verborgene. Wenn Städte von der Landkarte verschwinden bleibt stets etwas zurück - sei es Geschichte, Erinnerung oder ganz reale Artefakte. Das sind zum Beispiel die Ruinen einer vergangenen Kultur, die sich die Natur zurückerobert, wie im mexikanischen Teotihuacán. Oder ein unterirdisches Feuer, das das US-amerikanische Centralia seit Jahrzehnten unbewohnbar macht. Oder auch die leeren Straßen und Gebäude einer Hals über Kopf verlassenen Stadt wie Prypjat bei Tschernobyl.

Immer geht von solchen verlorenen Orten eine seltsame Faszination aus. Dieser wundervoll gestaltete Band erzählt die spannendsten Geschichten hinter mehr als 40 Städten in aller Welt, die für die Menschheit für immer verloren sind. Tauschen Sie ein in die Geschichten ihrer Bewohner und in eine andere Zeit, die dort wie eingefroren zu sein scheint.

Cabin Porn Book

San Francisco 2015
18 x 23 cm, 336 Seiten, zahlreiche farb. Abb., geb.

Unsere Lieblingswebsite endlich als Buch! Seit sechs Jahren sammelt eine Gruppe Amerikaner auf der Website cabinporn.com spannende Häuschen, Lodges und Hütten aus aller Welt. Eine inzwischen auf 80.000 Fans angewachsene Community postet die auf ihren Wanderungen entdeckten Sehnsuchtsorte, das Team um Robert Zach kuratiert. Dieses fabelhafte Buch zeigt die schönsten 200 (von insgesamt 12.000 auf der Website) jeweils mit der Ortsangabe, Beschreibung und Interiorfotos. Es hebt sich ab von den vielen Publikationen über Holzbauten: Hier werden keine Paläste gezeigt, sondern die wirklich tollen, die selbstgebauten, die kreativen Hütten, eingebettet in wunderbare Landschaften. Hier waren keine Architekten am Werk sondern Schäfer, Handwerker und Einsamkeitssuchende. Henry David Thoreau lässt grüßen, wir sind hingerissen. (Text engl.)
