Sometimes searching for true love can be a little...Outlandish. I met Jamie Fraser when I was nineteen years old. He was tall, red-headed, and at our first meeting at least, a virgin. I fell in love hard, fast and completely. He knew how to ride a horse, wield a sword and stitch a wound. He was, in fact, the perfect man. That he was fictional hardly entered into it. At 29, Emma Sheridan's life is a disaster and she's tired of waiting for the perfect boyfriend to step from the pages of her favorite book. There's only one place to look, and it means selling everything and leaving her world behind. With an unexpected collection of allies along the way, can Emma face down a naked fishmonger, a randy gnome, a perfidious thief, and even her own abdominal muscles on the journey to find her Fraser?

Ze wordt verscheurd door de keuze waar ze zich voor gesteld ziet: in haar eigen tijd blijven, bij haar dochter Brianna - het kind van James - of teruggaan naar de gevaarlijke Schotse Hooglanden. Als Claire´s dochter volwassen is, besluit ze nog eenmaal, en nu voorgoed, terug te keren naar het Schotland van de achttiende eeuw, waar James inmiddels het respectabele beroep van boekdrukker uitoefent. Kort na hun gepassioneerde hereniging wordt het paar gedwongen tot een lange zeereis, in achtervolging van het schip waarop James´ neef is ontvoerd om als slaaf te worden verkocht. Piraten, een epidemie aan boord, niets blijft hun bespaard. De vlucht voert hen uiteindelijk naar de verre kust van de koloniën in West-Indië, waar hun tocht een onverwachte wending neemt...

Voormalig jakobijn en rebel Jamie Fraser weet drie dingen over de Amerikaanse opstand: de Amerikanen zullen winnen - hoewel het daar in 1778 nog niet naar uitziet -, tot het winnende kamp behoren betekent nog niet dat hij het er levend af zal brengen en hij sterft liever dan zijn zoon tegen te komen op het slagveld. Frasers vrouw, de uit de twintigste eeuw afkomstige verpleegster Claire Randall, weet dat de prijs die de Amerikanen voor de overwinning zullen betalen hoog zal zijn en ze is vastbesloten ervoor te zorgen dat Jamies leven daar niet bij hoort…

Brianna, la figlia di Claire e Jamie, ha lasciato l'America del Ventesimo secolo e attraversato il cerchio di pietre, decisa a intraprendere il periglioso viaggio nel passato alla ricerca dei suoi genitori. Ha una missione importantissima: aiutarli a schivare un'insidia mortale di cui lei, grazie appunto all'osservatorio privilegiato del futuro, è venuta a sapere. Così, giunta nella Scozia del 1769, li cercherà a Lallybroch dove troverà ad accoglierla la numerosa famiglia di Jamie e la notizia che lui si trova insieme a sua moglie al di là dell'oceano. Non le resta che imbarcarsi a sua volta, affrontando innumerevoli peripezie prima del tanto agognato incontro con i genitori.

Al snel blijkt echter dat Claire heen en weer kan reizen in de tijd, en wordt ze verscheurd tussen twee volkomen verschillende mannen en twee onverenigbare levens.Zo begint de Reiziger--serie, een epische reeks vol passie en avontuur, angst en verraad… en een liefde die alle barrières van plaats en tijd overstijgt.

Nell'Amuleto d'ambra Claire Randall, viaggiatrice nel tempo e nello spazio, aveva incominciato a spiegare una difficile verità alla figlia Brianna: negli anni in cui era ufficialmente data per dispersa, fra il 1945 e il 1946, era in realtà precipitata, attraverso il magico cerchio di pietre di Craigh na Dun, nella Scozia del Settecento, dove si era innamorata follemente del nobile James Fraser. In un susseguirsi di avventure palpitanti, tra campi di battaglia e manieri misteriosi, i due amanti consumano la loro ardente passione, consapevoli che Claire, prima o poi, si sarebbe trovata di fronte a una difficile e dolorosa decisione: seguire il suo uomo perdendosi definitivamente nel passato, o tornare a un presente che ormai non le appartiene più, con la sola speranza di portare con sé una traccia del suo amato... Sullo sfondo di una Scozia settecentesca magica ed evocativa, Diana Gabaldon ci regala un romanzo intenso e appassionante che offre immagini suggestive di un passato lontano visto attraverso lo sguardo di una donna del ventesimo secolo.

Im historischen Roman müssen Claire und Jamie Fraser während des amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges um ihre Familie und Liebe kämpfen. 1779 steht für sie mehr auf dem Spiel als je zuvor: Die Rückkehr ihrer Tochter Brianna bringt Freude, doch die Gefahr, die sie aus dem 20. Jahrhundert zur Flucht gezwungen hat, bleibt ungewiss. Claire und Jamie suchen nach Wegen, ihre Familie zu schützen. Gleichzeitig ringt der junge William Ransom mit seiner wahren Abstammung, während Lord John Grey versucht, Versöhnung zu finden und neuen Gefahren zu begegnen – sowohl für seinen Sohn als auch für sich selbst. Die Geschichte vereint Spannung, Dramatik, Leidenschaft, Liebe und Abenteuer und setzt die Tradition der Serie fort, die für ihren fesselnden Mix aus Zeitreise- und historischem Roman bekannt ist. Im 9. Band wird der Leser erneut hautnah in das Schicksal von Claire, Jamie, ihrer Familie und Freunden hineingezogen. Die „Outlander“-Reihe von Diana Gabaldon umfasst insgesamt 8 internationale Bestseller, die die fesselnde Reise der Charaktere weiterverfolgen.

Claire e Jamie hanno attraversato oceani e secoli per costruirsi una vita insieme, ma tensioni passate e presenti minacciano il loro sogno d'amore. E non solo il loro, ma anche quello della figlia Brianna, di suo marito Roger, e del loro bambino, Jemmy, così come di tutti i membri del clan. La rivoluzione americana è imminente, Jamie è stato inviato dal Governatore della colonia a radunare una milizia per soffocare la rivolta dei cosiddetti Regolatori, sudditi che si oppongono all'esosa tassazione imposta dalla madrepatria. Rompere il giuramento con la Corona renderebbe Jamie un traditore, mantenerlo lo può portare a un destino funesto, come sa bene Claire che conosce l'esito finale della guerra inevitabile. La prima battaglia contro i Regolatori, tuttavia, si mette bene per le milizie del Governatore Tryon e Jamie, temendo un massacro, invia il genero Roger al campo dei ribelli per convincerli a ritirarsi. Ma Roger cade in un tranello e, accusato a sua volta di essere un ribelle, viene condannato all'impiccagione... Come se non bastasse, Jamie viene morso da un serpente durante una caccia al bisonte e sembra destinato a morte certa. Insomma, ce n'è abbastanza perché Claire debba mettere in campo tutte sue conoscenze mediche e soprattutto tutta la sua forza vitale e il suo ottimismo per riuscire a sopravvivere e a salvare le persone amate.

A tak vzplane hořící kříž - prastarý symbol skotských válečných vůdců - svolávající své věrné do bitvy. Jamie ví, že musí ochránit svou rodinu a vytáhnout do krvavé války. A Clarie tuší, že se budou muset všichni obětovat.Román plný života, zrady, lásky, touhy po penězích a moci, pokračuje.

Brianna a Roger vychovávají společně syna Jemmyho a připravují se na sněm skotských klanů, na němž se má konat i jejich právoplatná svatba. Jamie již dříve využil nabídky guvernéra a získal do svého vlastnictví rozsáhlé pozemky, na které přivádí své druhy z dřívějších dob, aby je společně osídlili. Potýkají se přitom s divokou přírodou, indiány i každodenními starostmi v hospodářství a domácnosti. V roce 1771 ale přichází povolávací rozkaz, v němž guvernér vyzývá pány, aby svolali své muže a připojili se k armádě. Jamie proto sestaví kříž z borového dřeva a vkládá jej do ohně, protože ohnivý kříž je skotským symbolem pro svolání mužů do bitvy. A zatímco ostatní jen mlhavě tuší, tři návštěvníci z doby daleko budoucí už s jistotou ví, co nadchází…

Zijn zoektocht naar de waarheid levert hartstocht en gevaar op, maar brengt hem ook steeds dichter bij het antwoord op de vraag in het diepst van zijn ziel: wat is belangrijk in iemands leven? Liefde, trouw, familie? Zelfrespect of oprechtheid? Nadat hij zowel een veldslag als een keihard persoonlijk verraad heeft doorstaan, keert John terug naar het Lake District om de man te vinden die misschien kan helpen. Hier vindt hij de waarheid en komt hij voor een laatste keuze te staan: tussen eergevoel en het leven zelf...

Continuano le avventure di Jamie Fraser, nobile scozzese del diciottesimo secolo, e di Claire Randall, intraprendente infermiera inglese del ventesimo secolo, instancabile viaggiatrice nello spazio... e nel tempo. Nuovo Mondo, 1771: le relazioni fra l'Inghilterra e le colonie americane sono sempre più tese e la guerra è imminente. Claire e Jamie hanno avuto in concessione dal Governatore della Corona un ampia tenuta dove vivono insieme alla figlia Brianna, al suo compagno Roger e al loro figlioletto Jemmy. E benché i rapporti dello scozzese Jamie con i "vicini" inglesi non siano mai stati idilliaci, per non perdere la concessione Jamie è costretto ad accettare la nomina a colonnello con il compito di arruolare un reggimento e soffocare le insurrezioni dei cosiddetti Regolatori, gruppi di uomini armati che reagiscono con la violenza ai soprusi che l'Inghilterra infligge ai sudditi oltreoceano. In questo turbolento contesto si inseriscono le vicende private dei nostri eroi: dal ritorno del perfido Stephen Bonnett, al matrimonio della zia di Jamie, Jocasta, all'assassinio, avvenuto in circostanze misteriose, della domestica dei Fraser. Jamie dovrà fronteggiare questi e altri pericoli per difendere i suoi averi, la sua vita, quella dei suoi cari e, soprattutto, l'amore di Claire...

V tomto výtahu uznávaná spisovatelka Diana Gabaldon nabízí své neocenitelné zkušenosti se psaním milostných scén s použitím síly emocí. Poznáte rozdíl mezi sexem bez příčiny a milostnými scénami, které jsou důležité pro děj a posunují příběh kupředu a jak zacházet s pikantními akty, které však nejsou bezúčelné, ale slouží příběhu. Gabaldon také poznamenává, že sex může být popsán originálně. Ale musí se zapojit smysly, používat originální věty a ne se uchylovat k otřepaným frázím. Vše demonstruje na příkladech ze své série Cizinka.

Po příliš dlouhé nepřítomnosti se Jamie Fraser vrací domů do Skotska – návrat se však neobejde bez velkých obav. Přestože jeho milovaný kmotr Murtagh slíbil Jamieho rodičům, že se o jejich impulzivního synka postará, splnit tento slib nebude jednoduché. Na hlavu mladého vyhnance je již vypsána tučná odměna, a to zásluhou kapitána Jacka Randalla, sadistického britského důstojníka, s nímž Jamie v minulosti zkřížil cestu i meč. U dvora významného klanu MacKenzieů je Jamie naopak figurkou v mocenském boji mezi svými dvěma strýci: stárnoucím náčelníkem Columem, jenž si žádá synovcovu loajalitu – nebo jeho život – a Dougalem, válečným náčelníkem klanu MacKenzieů, který by Jamieho raději sťal, než aby mu dovolil stát se Columovým dědicem. A pak je tu Claire Randallová – záhadná, svéhlavá kráska, která se objeví v Jamieho životě a rozvíří jeho soucit... a jeho chtíč. Jamieho srdce ho táhne ke Claire, avšak Murtagh je přesvědčený, že dívku sem poslali Staří a kapitán Randall ji označí za špiónku. Claire zcela zjevně něco skrývá, přestože Jamie nedokáže uvěřit, že by pro něj mohla představovat nějaké nebezpečí. I tak ale ví, že je zmítána mezi dvěma volbami – životem po jeho boku a něčím tajemným, kvůli čemu se v myšlenkách často ocitá jinde. Vstupte do poutavého, vášnivého a napínavého světa Vyhnanství a vychutnejte si mimořádnou vypravěčskou magii Diany Gabaldon.
