STEPHAN ORTH
Absolutely ausgesperrt. Wie ich 700 Kilometer durch England reiste und immer draußen blieb
Stephan Orth, who thrilled the packed Culture Tent at the NORDEN Festival three years ago with a travelogue about China, is now a guest with his very latest book: Absolutely ausgesperrt. Wie ich 700 Kilometer durch England reiste und immer draußen blieb (MALIK).
From London to Newcastle, without entering an interior or an enclosed vehicle - this is how Hamburg bestselling author Stephan Orth defies the pandemic in England. He hikes, cycles and paddles, camps in front gardens, forests and city parks. In Manchester he cheers at a soccer match, in Oxford he experiences the peculiarities of British drinking culture, and on the Rochdale Canal he discovers the most beautiful toilet in the world. He describes how he comes to terms with Brexit fans and belligerent cats, how he gets into conversation with homeless people, life artists and environmental activists.

His original account of how to travel safely in Corona times, richly peppered with the finest observations and flanked by many photographs, addresses highly topical issues - and becomes a plea for a new way of traveling.
