'Mein Ururopa Arva Fargo war zur Goldsuche nach Alaska abgehauen. He ran off to the Yukon. He ran off to the Klondike . Eine Geschichtsscherbe, hervorgekramt, ratlos zurückgelegt.' Mehr als hundert Jahre nach ihrem Vorfahren macht sich Isabel Fargo Cole von Deutschland auf nach Alaska, von dort über Seattle Richtung Kalifornien, auf den Spuren Arva Fargos und dessen fieberhafter Suche nach dem Gold - Fluch und Segen so vieler Biografien des ¿vergoldeten Zeitalters¿ Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die ¿Geschichtsscherben¿, die sie nicht nur in den verlassenen Claims findet, fügt sie zu einem vielstimmigen Recherche- und Reisetagebuch in ein fremdes, scheinbar unermessliches Land zwischen Ost und West, zwischen Ausbeutung und Bewahrung. Denn die größte Exklave der Welt ist zwar dünn besiedelt, doch wie kaum ein anderer Landstrich von Fantasien ursprünglicher Wildnis und verborgener Reichtümer besetzt. Coles Expedition führt tief in die Schürf- und Abgründe des amerikanischen Traums, der mit seinen wirkmächtigen Versprechen bis heute Menschenmassen anzieht und wieder ausspuckt: abenteuerliche Glücksritter, Vagabunden und Helden verblasster Zeitungsmeldungen. Was sie dabei zu Tage fördert, ist wertvoller als Gold: ein erzählerisch-essayistisches Schürffeld voller Geschichten und Reflexionen über ein Grenzland fremder Heimat.

Great quality pillows. Very difficult wrapping.
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
The Pillows are the real deal. Very fluffy but with good support. I was surprised by the weight of the box they came in, pretty heavy so you know there’s good quality pillows inside. The one negative is that the pillows are packed in very very tight plastic because they come compressed. But the thing is, it’s really a chore to open them. You have to be careful not to cut through the plastic to the material, but the plastic is put on so incredibly tight that it’s even hard to get your finger underneath. But I found a way to open them. Near the top, insert A very flat metal ruler as far in as you could get it. Then cut through the plastic that’s above the metal ruler. That prevents a sharp tool from damaging the pillows. As you get through the plastic above the ruler, keep pushing the ruler further down into the package. Believe me, this simplifies what could be a very difficult unpacking. I am very surprised that the company that makes them does not insert the type of opener that you find on boxes you receive in the mail or even packages that you get from the grocery store where you just pull a tab and that opens the package. These are really good pillows, but you must be very careful about using a sharp object when opening the box and when trying to cut through the plastic. I am a strong man and have the tools needed, a very flat metal ruler, and a box cutter, knife, or razor. Good luck. !!

These hold up very well
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I have NO luck with pillows. I’ve been in stores & tried them. They seemed ok there. At home, nope. I’ve been getting headaches & neck aches from lousy pillows. I’ll change one, a few nights relief. It doesn’t help that I’m prone to headaches. After reading about different pillows, I settled on these. The reviews were better than so many different ones I was looking at. Including high priced & brand names. I bought the standard size. When I saw, “Customers Usually Keep This”, I kept my fingers crossed. When I received them, I took one out of the package & put my head on it & thought, oh no! This is too hard! I tried it again. Ok….. I slept on it & haven’t had any pains since. It’s soft but firm enough to keep my head from sinking & messing up my neck. I don’t move. No more flipping my pillow over. My head doesn’t go below my neck anymore! This has been 2 months now, but it hasn’t changed at all. I wake up happy, not complaining. No more pains or headaches. This saved me from losing days with a heating pad or an ice pack. The price was excellent for 2 pillows. I can’t believe a blind buy was the answer! These are incredible. Finally, something worked for me.

Awesome Pillows!
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are super soft! I love them. I bought them when I caught a bad cold and needed to prop myself up. Worked so great! Definitely give these pillows a try. They're very reasonably priced too.
