The Pyramids of the Sun, and the Moon and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent are frustrating to archaeologists who simply cannot believe that these majestic buildings are not concealing treasure troves, tombs and messages that will reveal the secrets of the Aztecs down to the tiniest detail. Then comes the legend of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Horizontal Vertigo: A City Called Mexico

At once intimate and wide-ranging, and as enthralling, surprising, and vivid as the place itself, this is a uniquely eye-opening tour of one of the great metropolises of the world, and its largest Spanish-speaking city. Horizontal Vertigo: The title refers to the fear of ever-impending earthquakes that led Mexicans to build their capital city outward rather than upward. With the perspicacity of a keenly observant flaneur, Juan Villoro wanders through Mexico City seemingly without a plan, describing people, places, and things while brilliantly drawing connections among them. In so doing he reveals, in all its multitudinous glory, the vicissitudes and triumphs of the city 's cultural, political, and social history: from indigenous antiquity to the Aztec period, from the Spanish conquest to Mexico City today-one of the world's leading cultural and financial centers. In this deeply iconoclastic book, Villoro organizes his text around a recurring series of topics: "Living in the City," "City Characters," "Shocks," "Crossings," and "Ceremonies." What he achieves, miraculously, is a stunning, intriguingly coherent meditation on Mexico City's genius loci, its spirit of place.

The Lawless Roads

Brought to you by Penguin. In 1938 Graham Greene was commissioned to visit Mexico to discover the state of the country and its people in the aftermath of the brutal anti-clerical purges of President Calles. His journey took him through the tropical states of Chiapas and Tabasco, where all the churches had been destroyed or closed and the priests driven out or shot. The experiences were the inspiration for his acclaimed novel, The Power and the Glory. ©Graham Greene 1978 (P) Penguin Audio 2020

Mexico - Teotihuacan / Aztecs Empire

Today we will be visiting the Pyramid of the Sun - the third tallest pyramid in the world, after Giza in Egypt and the Pyramid of Cholula, which is also in Mexico. The main road through the ancient city of Teotihuacan is the Boulevard of the Dead. The Pyramid of the Sun is to the east. It is in excellent condition for its age, and we will climb the pyramid to enjoy the view of the surrounding ruins from the summit. From here we can imagine the scale of construction and the enormous scope of the once prosperous empire... Academics continue to ask many questions about the purposes of the buildings in Teotihuacan. For years, archaeologists have searched for the tombs of Aztec rulers from the city's most prosperous period between 100 and 700 AD, but so far have found no definite trace of such. However, one thing they agree on is that the Great Goddess was worshiped in Teotihuacan. An amazing day! "No Luggage"! We can't wait to delve into the colorful heritage of Mexico!

Die geilste Lücke im Lebenslauf:: 6 Jahre Weltreisen

Ein spektakuläres Abenteurerleben Warum heißt es: 'Wo sehen Sie sich in zehn Jahren?' Warum heißt es nicht: 'Wo sehen Sie sich genau jetzt?' In seinem kaufmännischen Bürojob läuft Nick sein Leben davon. Nach einem Winterurlaub in Neuseeland beschließt er einen Cut: Er lässt Job und Sicherheiten, Freunde und Alltag zurück und geht auf Weltreise. Aus einem Jahr werden bald sechs Jahre, und aus dem jungen Mann aus der fränkischen Provinz wird ein anderer Mensch. Auf seinen Reisen durch über 70 Länder lernt er mehr fürs Leben als in jeder noch so steilen Karriere: Er wird verhaftet, angeschossen und ausgeraubt, er durchsegelt einen Hurrikan auf dem Pazifik, arbeitet als Reisejournalist für eine renommierte Fluggesellschaft, versucht sich als Schmuggler und verdient ein paar Dollar als Stripper in Las Vegas. Für Nick gibt es kein Ich muss fort, ich muss einpacken, ich muss da und da hin, sondern er lebt in den Tag hinein. Und seine Abenteuer sind noch lange nicht zu Ende. Aus Nicks geilster Lücke im Lebenslauf ist ein neuer Lebensinhalt geworden. Seine humorvollen und hochspannenden Erlebnisse liest Nick im Hörbuch selbst vor. Und das zu recht, denn wer könnte diese Erfahrungen besser erzählen als der, der sie mit Haut und Haar erlebt hat.
