Eine Auswahl an unterhaltsamen und niveauvollen Geschichten von und über Mallorca aus der Zeit vor Beginn des Massentourismus von renommierten Autoren wie Jules Verne, Robert Graves, Tom Crichton, Karl Otten und anderen. Es sind Geschichten mit unterschiedlichem literarischen Anspruch, von denen jede einzelne ein Stück Mallorca widerspiegelt, teils voller Spannung, teils von leiser Ironie durchdrungen. Ihre Helden des Alltags sind dekadente Adlige, sich aufopfernde Reiseleiter, einfache Dorfbewohner, fleißige Fischer, neugierige Touristen sowie drei unglückliche Stierkämpfer, um nur einige zu nennen. In ihrer Gesamtheit bieten die Texte eine abwechslungsreiche Lektüre für jeden, der sich die Lieblingsinsel der Deutschen einmal literarisch erschließen möchte. Einige dieser Geschichten erscheinen (z.T. als Übersetzungen) in deutscher Erstausgabe. Überarbeitete Version des vergriffenen Print-Titels aus dem RKH-Verlag.
Approx. 200 page showcase of the creative writing of a community based writers' group based in Swinton, Salford. Contains nearly sixty humorous, whimsical, thought-provoking, ironic, eclectic tales written in response to the various challenges set by the group or stimulated by experiences. Look for Anne's explanation of Bobby Gentry's enigmatic ode and Alan's contemporary interpretation of 1066. Lilian goes surreal with a TV and Mavis gives the rat's eye view of the ballad of the pied piper, which Barry also brings to a Cheshire location. In a nostalgic look back, the 50s are revisited on Bill's first date and Lesley's kitchen walls! Further back, Joyce relates Calpurnia's tragic tale and similar sombre stories are included from John and Shaun. From the poetic to the more prosaic, Mary and Alan both write about a job interview and the group unites to relate tales of kitchen calamities.
