A közkedvelt Barangoló sorozat új köntösben. Útikalauzunk segítségével megismerheti Görögország legnagyobb szigetének gazdag történelmét, eljuthat az ókori műemlékekhez azokból az időkből, amikor Kréta több európai és ázsiai civilizáció fennhatósága alá került, egyúttal bepillantást nyerhet a sziget modern mindennapjaiba. Kréta: erről a városról számtalan dolog jut eszünkbe. Ókori régészeti leletek, zajos és forgalmas városok, neonfényes bárokkal teli, zenétől hangos üdülőhelyek, kétszemélyes romantikus vacsora egy apró halászkikötő mellett, a túrázókat csábító hegyek és szurdokok, tengerparti napozás és vízi sportok. A sziget mindenki számára kínál valami érdekeset. Hol máshol látogathatná meg a barlangot, ahol Zeusz, az olümposzi főisten született? Útikönyvünk Krétát négy részre osztva mutatja be: megismerheti a fővárost, Irákliót, Közép-Krétát, valamint a sziget keleti és nyugati részét. Felsoroljuk a főbb látnivalókat, hogy segítsük az utazás megtervezését, de bemutatjuk a vidéki területeket is, amelyek tele vannak rejtett kincsekkel: hagyományos közösségek, freskókkal díszített templomok és hegyi ösvények. Kiadványunk a közeli Szantorini szigetét is körbejárja. Az útikalauzunkban rengeteg gyakorlati információ található, amelyek tökéletesen felkészítik az utazásra, megismertetik a krétai kultúrával és életmóddal, valamint sok hasznos tanáccsal szolgálnak a szállás, az étkezés és a szabadidő eltöltésének módjával kapcsolatban. A kiadvány részét képezik a térképek Kréta szigetéről, valamint a két nagyvárosról, Iráklióról és Haníáról. Nem hiányoznak a szállással és az étkezéssel kapcsolatos javaslatok sem. A könyv egy kis szótárat is tartalmaz, amely segít az éttermi rendelésben. A kiadványban megtalálható: - Iráklio: a belváros, a kikötő környéke, az Irakliói Régészeti Múzeum - Közép-Kréta: Knósszosz, Gortüsz, Fesztosz, Agia Triada és Vori, Közép-Kréta hegyvonulata - Kelet-Kréta: Maliától Neapoliig, Agiosz Nikolaosz, Eloundától a Szpinalonga-szigetig, Kritsza felé, A Lassithi-fennsík, A keleti Szitia felé, Toploutól Zakroszig, A délkeleti part - Nyugat-Kréta: Réthimnótól délre, A déli part, Réthimnótól Haníáig, A Fehér-hegység és a Szamaria-szurdok - Kirándulás Szantorini szigetén: Fíra, Ia (Oia), Pürgosz, A Profitisz Iliasz és Akrotiri

Women warriors planned and led slave revolts on slave ships during the passage across the Atlantic. They fought their enslavers throughout the Americas. And then they were erased from history. In Wake Rebecca Hall, a historian, a granddaughter of slaves, and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery, tells their story. With in-depth archival research and a measured use of historical imagination, she constructs the likely pasts of women rebels who fought for freedom on slave ships bound to America, as well as the stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York. Beneath both is Hall's own tale: of a life lived in the shadow of slavery and its consequences. Strikingly illustrated in black and white, Wake explores both a personal and a global legacy. Part graphic novel, part memoir, it is a powerful reminder that while the past is gone, we still live in its wake.
