The Stable Boy of Auschwitz - Henry Oster And Dexter Ford - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The Stable Boy of Auschwitz - Henry Oster And Dexter Ford - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

The instant Sunday Times and Amazon charts bestseller " I found myself in the Auschwitz stables, and I felt an ember of hope. If I could make myself useful, helping these horses, maybe I could stay alive." In the darkest moment of history, one child found the courage and strength to survive the unimaginable. This is Henry''s true story. One hot, humid day in July, 1944, the Gestapo abducted fifteen-year-old Henry and his mother, forcing them onto cramped cattle cars in the Lódz Polish Ghetto. Like so many Jews before them, they had been selected to disappear - they were being sent to Auschwitz . Exhausted after hours of traveling, they finally emerged from the stifling, filth-ridden cattle car. Already devastated at having lost his father to starvation, Henry clutched his mother''s frail hand, knowing she was all he had left in the world, and that he was the only one left to protect her. In a flash, he felt them being brutally torn apart. Crying out for her, his heart shuddered as he watched her disappear into a sea of other women. Henry knew that was the last time he would ever see her , and he felt like he had failed her. He was now completely alone in the world.Starving, and close to giving up all hope, Henry volunteered to work in the stables, responsible for breeding horses for the war effort. As he watched other prisoners leave and never return, Henry quickly realised these horses were his only lifeline - because every morning he was sent to the stables, was one more morning he escaped the gas chambers. Before long, caring for the horses became a passion, and their comfort and strength gave Henry a glimmer of life and hope in an ocean of death. Although with every second that passed, Henry knew if he became too weak or made one mistake, he would be mercilessly replaced... This is the heart-wrenching and inspirational true account of a courageous little German boy who, against all odds, after losing almost everything a human being can lose, survived to tell his story. This book was originally published as The Kindness of the Hangman .'' Heartbreaking. Eye opening. Tear jerking ... kept having to tell myself that this was a real account of the Holocaust.'' Amazon Reviewer, ★ ★ ★ ★ ★'' Phenomenal ... I learned more about the Holocaust than anything I have read in the past... I can''t express how much this book affected me .'' Amazon Reviewer, ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ '' Inspiring book - a Must Read!! '' Amazon Reviewer, ★ ★ ★ ★ ★'' Spellbinding ... I could not put this book down.

At 2,922 miles, the Congo is the eighth longest river and the deepest in the world, with a flow rate second only to the Amazon. Ex-Marine Phil Harwood embarked on an epic solo journey from the river''s true source in the highlands of Zambia through war-torn Central Africa.

He collapsed from malaria, and was arrested, intimidated and chased. On one stretch, known as ''The Abattoir'' for its history of cannibalism and reputation for criminal activity, the four brothers he hired as bodyguards were asked by locals, ''Why haven''t you cut his throat yet?'' But he also received tremendous hospitality from proud and brave people long forgotten by the Western world, especially friendly riverside fishermen who helped wherever they could on Phil''s exhilarating and terrifying five-month journey.Author''s documentary film of the journey, available on his website ww.canoeingthecongo.com, won several awards and went on tour in North America with the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.

The Kindness of Strangers - Anna Mcnuff - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer Travel opens our minds to the world; it helps us to embrace risk and uncertainty, overcome challenges and understand the people we meet and the places we visit. But what happens when we arrive home? How do our experiences shape us? The Kindness of Strangers explores what it means to be vulnerable and to be helped by someone we''ve never met before. Someone who could have walked past, but chose not to.This is a collection of stories by accomplished travellers and adventurous souls like Sarah Outen, Benedict Allen, Ed Stafford and Al Humphreys, who have completed daring journeys through challenging terrain, adventuring from the Calais Jungle to the Amazon, from Land''s End to the Gobi Desert, from New Guinea to Iran and many other places in between. Each has a story to tell of a time when they were vulnerable, when they were in need and a kind stranger came to their rescue.These are stories that make our hearts grow, stories that will restore our faith in the world and remind us that, despite what the media says, the world isn''t a scary place - rather, it is filled with Kind Strangers just like us.All royalties go directly to fund Oxfam''s work with refugees.

Jungle - Yossi Ghinsberg - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

I heard the rustle again, too close and too real to ignore. I clutched the flashlight, stuck my head out of the mosquito net... and found myself face-to-face with a jaguar. Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the Amazon rainforest to find a hidden tribe and explore places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare. After weeks of wandering in the dense undergrowth the group splits up after disagreements, and Yossi and his friend try to find their own way back without a guide. When a terrible rafting accident separates him from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it out of the jungle alive. The basis of an upcoming motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jungle is the incredible story of friendship and the teachings of nature, survival and human fortitude and a terrifying true account that you won''t be able to put down.
