The second-largest country in South America, Argentina has been through great changes in recent years. Its journey from dictatorship to democracy has left many scars, but these are largely eclipsed by the pride and resilience of the Argentinian people, who have developed a style, a language, and a joie de vivre that are all their own. Embracing much more than gaucho, tango, and soccer, Argentina is very unlike its neighbors. And, due to the unique way in which it evolved, is quite different from the expectations many visitors have of a stereotypical Latin American destination.

From neighboring military coups, suspected honey traps, salty spooks, and desperate migrants to dissidents, doctors, and Havana’s empty shelves, Ariosto uncovers the island’s subtle absurdities, its Cold War mystique, and the hopes of a people in the throes of transition.

गहन साक्षात्कार प्रत्येक मानवी जीवनात दैवी स्वरूप स्वत:ला व्यक्त करीत असतं; पण मानवाने त्याच्याकडे काणाडोळा केला, तर असा साक्षात्कार म्हणजे खडकाळ जमिनीत पेरलेलं बीज ठरेल, जे कधीच रुजत नाही. या दैवी जाणिवेतून कोणालाही वगळले जात नाही. किंबहुना मानवच स्वत:ला त्यातून वगळून टाकतो. नेहमीच हिरव्या फांदीवर झुलणाऱ्या प्रत्येक पक्ष्याने, आपल्या मातेचा प्रेमळ हात धरून ठेवणाऱ्या मुलाने जीवनाचे गूढ कोडे केव्हाच सोडवलेले असते आणि त्याचं उत्तरही त्याच्या मुद्रेवर झळकत असतं.

In deze reeks duiken Riet en Farah in de échte verhalen achter een weekendje weg met vrienden. Van knusse huisjes (meestal in de Ardennen… maar soms ook totaal ergens anders) tot hilarische misverstanden en zelfs momenten waarop het groepsleven nét iets minder gezellig is dan op Instagram. Hoe plan je het, hoe overleef je het, en waarom blijven we het toch altijd opnieuw doen? Een warme, eerlijke en herkenbare babbel vol vriendschap, chaos en chalet-wijsheid. Ideaal om te luisteren mét je vriendengroep — of net om er even aan te ontsnappen.
