Wat heerlijk als je eerst met oom en tante met vakantie gaat en leert zwemmen en je mag daarna ook nog kamperen met je vriendjes!
In een speciale kliniek worden mannen die tijdens de oorlog door ernstige gelaatsverwondingen zijn verminkt, verpleegd met als doel hen weer aan de maatschappij te laten deelnemen.
Karl May's most popular work originally published in 1892 and influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Winnetou is the story of a young Apache chief told by his white friend and blood-brother Old Shatterhand. The action takes place in the U.S. Southwest, in the latter half of the 1800s, where the Indian way of life is threatened by the first transcontinental railroad. Winnetou, the only Native Indian chief who could have united the various rival tribes to reach a settlement with the whites, is murdered. His tragic death foreshadows the death of his people. May's central theme here, as in much of his work, is the relationship between aggression, racism, and religious intolerance.
Quando uma garrafa com uma mensagem surge numa praia alemã, todos julgam que só pode tratar-se de uma brincadeira. A mensagem, escrita por um tal Werner Bäcker, diz que, após uma violenta tempestade, ele sobreviveu numa ilha perdida do Pacífico. E precisa de ajuda. Mas a história de Werner está longe de ser uma brincadeira. Perdeu a mulher e os três filhos num mar enraivecido e, embora a princípio apenas desejasse a morte, a vontade de viver prevaleceu. Agarrando-se à vida com todas as fibras do seu corpo e tendo como única companhia um albatroz, Werner aprende a viver sozinho e a amar a sua ilha. O destino reserva-lhe contudo mais surpresas. Quando toda a esperança de regressar ao mundo dos homens desaparece do seu coração, eis que surgem sobreviventes de um naufrágio, um outro homem e uma mulher. Os seus novos companheiros trazem para a ilha segredos desconcertantes. Conseguirá Werner lidar com os sentimentos que se geram e que mudarão uma vez mais, a sua vida para sempre?
