Ode an die Schönheit des langsamen Reisens
Sein Großvater war Weichensteller, sein Onkel Fahrdienstleiter und sein Cousin Lokführer. Klar, dass Jaroslav Rudi so oft wie möglich Zug fährt. In seinem Buch begibt er sich im Takt der Schienen durch Europa: von Berlin aus bis zum Gotthardtunnel und von Sizilien bis nach Lappland; im Nachtzug durch Polen und die Ukraine sowie im Speisewagen von Hamburg nach Prag.
Leidenschaftlich berichtet er davon, wie er vor seinem Waggonfenster zwischen Felsen und Bäumen zum ersten Mal die Adria erblickt. Wie er mit der Schmalspurbahn die Wälder im Harz erkundet. Und wie er in vierzig Stunden auf so vielen Verbindungen wie möglich durch ganz Deutschland fährt.
Rudi widmet sich dabei den schönsten Bahnhöfen, den Kathedralen des Verkehrs. Erklärt, was Krokodile und Brigitte Bardot mit Lokomotiven zu tun haben. Und verwebt die Historie der Eisenbahn mit den Geschichten der Menschen, denen er begegnet.
Er verrät, warum die schnellste Strecke selten die schönste ist und weshalb der Eisenbahngott ganz sicher eine Göttin sein muss. Er erzählt von der Freude darüber, den Anschluss zu verpassen, von 'singenden' Lokomotiven und Haltestellen, die 'Güterglück' und 'Herzberg' heißen. Und verführt uns mit seinen brillanten und mitreißenden Erzählungen, wieder öfter und achtsamer Zug zu fahren.
Steigen Sie ein, und lassen Sie sich von dieser literarischen Reise durch Europa tragen!

Discover more about Juneteenth, the important holiday that celebrates the end of chattel slavery in the United States.
On June 19, 1865, a group of enslaved men, women, and children in Texas gathered around a Union solder and listened as he read the most remarkable words they would ever hear. They were no longer enslaved: they were free. The inhumane practice of forced labor with no pay was now illegal in all of the United States. This news was cause for celebration, so the group of people jumped in excitement, danced, and wept tears of joy. They did not know it at the time, but their joyous celebration of freedom would become a holiday--Juneteenth--that is observed each year by more and more Americans.
Author Kirsti Jewel shares stories from Juneteenth celebrations, both past and present, and chronicles the history that led to the creation of this joyous day.
