Die Kernzelle von Andorra findet sich in Max Frischs Tagebuch als Eintragung des Jahres 1946. Andorra ist der Name für ein Modell: Es zeigt den Prozeß einer Bewußtseinsveränderung, abgehandelt an der Figur des jungen Andri, den die Umwelt so lange zum Anderssein zwingt, bis er es als sein Schicksal annimmt. Dieses Schicksal heißt in Max Frischs Stück »Judsein«. Das Schauspiel erschien als Buchausgabe zuerst 1961.

Centuries and centuries ago, the Hopi had said:"The demographic explosion, mushrooming megalopolises and expanding air transport made Man no longer content with creation alone. An increasing number of individuals looked only to their own personal and material wellbeing. Man had an overabundance of everything but he always wanted more and more. He did not stop producing things even when he did not need them and the more he had the more he clamoured for." 
They spoke about the past, the present or the futur? 
The answer is in "The Phaeton report". 
For every ten people who see this book, one of them will be drawn to it; for every ten people who are drawn to it, one of them will buy it; for every ten people who buy it, one of them will finish it; for every ten people who finish it, one of them will understand it; for every ten people who understand it, one of them will benefit from it; and for every ten people who benefit from it, just one will keep walking on. And that is who this book has been written for, that one person in a million. Just for that person. Because one day, perhaps, that person will take me by the hand and take me further than I was able to reach. 
We would love to tell you what this Albert Salvadó book is all about but that is not such an easy task. It is a book that refuses to follow convention, breaks all the rules of storytelling and is a truly unique novel, so it would be pointless or fruitless to try to summarise it all. 
 
Perhaps the critics have put it best: 
 
“This is no conventional historic novel... This novel breaks all of the accepted rules that orthodox literary criticism follows in judging how novels should be written (criteria laid down by E. M. Forster and followed by many critics). The book is based on a vast amount of documents and research, which is another way the author breaks the rules, because he does not conceal anything... and he does all that without breaking step, as if it were a game... This is a controversial book... My life will never be the same after reading The Phaeton Report.”(Carme J. Huertas, writer, EMBAT) 
“His most ambitious book. If Albert Salvadó (Andorra la Vella) had been born in another part of the globe he would be a bestselling author... He has more than a score of books under his belt, mostly historical novels, which are unspoilt by any pretensions to bestseller status.”(Joan Joseph Isern, AVUI) 
“The Phaeton Report is a frenetic novel in which the Andorran writer Albert Salvadó revises the official version of the Great Flood and warns of the dangers of climate change.” (Xavier Aldekoa, LA VANGUARDIA) 
“... The Phaeton Report is a real surprise ... an intelligent bestseller.” (Jordi Valls, AVUI) 
“...it goes down delightfully and leaves a refreshing taste in your mouth... impressive work... science fiction of the highest order... direct, linear narration coupled with a vast amount of information.” (Antonio J. Ubero, ELFARO) 
“The Phaeton Report, a great legend that will make history with a truly possible account. His readers are in for a treat because the range of settings portrayed allows them to enjoy a long journey to the City of the Sun.” (El racó del llibre, 7DIES) 
“... very well argued and documented.” (Albert Jorquera, DIARI DE VILANOVA) 


The Phaeton Report (Noah's secret diary)

On the death of her father, a retired clergyman, Denham Dobie is forced to leave her wild and carefree life in Spain and is thrust into the gossiping highbrow circle of her well-meaning relatives in London. Thrown into a world of publishers and writers, this awkward young woman—a tomboy and rebel at heart—sees their society for the self-absorbed, self-satisfied world it is and offers a devastating, and very funny, social commentary within her own moving story. A bitingly funny, elegantly written comedy of manners from the incomparable Rose Macaulay.

Crewe Train

This is the history of the time of Pharaoh Snefru and Queen Hetepheres, the parents of Cheops, who built the largest and most impressive pyramid of all. It is also the story of the high priest Ramosi, Sedum, a slave who became Cheops' teacher, and how the first pyramid came to be built.

Sebekhotep, the great wise man of that time, said, "Everything is written in the stars. Most of us live our lives unaware of it. Some can read the stars and see their destiny. But very few people learn to write in the stars and change their destiny."

Ramosi and Sedum learned to write in the stars and tried to change their destinies, but fortune treated them very differently. This is a tale of the confrontation between two men's intelligence: one fighting for power, the other struggling for freedom.

The Teacher of Cheops

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is broke and out of love. His wife has gone to America, taking his daughter with him; his mother has become a celebrity chef on daytime television, with a particular skill for handling phallic ingredients; and his father continues to languish in Mountjoy Jail.

To cap it all, Immaculata, a Nigerian girl whom Sorcha has been sponsoring by direct debit for fifteen years, has turned up on his doorstep. Things couldn't get worse.

But the long road back begins high in the Pyrenees, in the tax haven of Andorra, where Ross must spread the Gospel of rugby to the strange, primitive natives who have only ever heard of soccer, skiing and duty free shopping. There, he meets Conchita, a beautiful, sultry psychoanalyst, who persuades him to look inwards and find out what it is that makes him tick. Sorry, thick.

This unique book examines the history, culture, and inner workings of the seven smallest independent countries in Europe. These are among the oldest states on the continent and, despite their diversity, they have much in common. Most have relatively high per capita incomes and life expectancies, and relatively low unemployment. This narrative presents the unique issues that confront small countries, including maintaining their independence, economic viability, preserving their native languages, and sustaining their governments. The second part of the book describes each microstate in turn, showing how each one has met these challenges and adapted over time. These concise and engaging chapters contain cultural information on subjects including the arts, gastronomy, and popular tourist sites.

Maribelle wants to attend the Fiesta of Our Lady of Meritxell, but is too far to travel without a horse. But if Maribelle and her friend can help a foreign lady find a rare butterfly, maybe they can go.

The Land of Right Up and Down

Family complications abound in this mystery set in the little-known Pyrenean country of Andorra. Jane Burns, an Australian accountant, is a recovering alcoholic with a troubled past. When she receives a letter inviting her to visit Andorra for the winding up of her grandfather's multi-million dollar Trust, she jumps at the opportunity to leave her humdrum life and troubles behind. She expects to stay with her half-sister, Pearl, a photo journalist who moved to Andorra to escape an abusive marriage, but on her arrival Pearl is missing without explanation. The only clue to her whereabouts is an unlikely welcoming gift to Jane of a bottle of champagne. Jane and Pearl's father, Charles, an aloof historian, becomes Jane's ally in the search for Pearl. In a twisted web starting from the founding of the Family Trust after the Second World War, and involving financial misdoings, kidnapping and tobacco smuggling, Jane and Charles try to discover which threads will lead them to Pearl, and which are simply the detritus of her daily life as an investigative journalist. On the way, Jane meets a sympathetic village policeman. She also meets Pearl's lover, a prominent Andorran politician. But are these two men helping or hindering the investigation?

This book is a short collection of vignettes about my years leave of absence which extended to twenty-five years. Life on St John was like an endearing living theater to me. These are just a few of the wonderful memories that I remember. .

Only a Dot on the Map: St John Remembered

The seven microstates of Europe, i.e. Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Malta, San Marino, Sovereign Order of St. John, and Vatican City are remarkable not only for their size, but their persistence. It is a sociopolitical phenomenon that has rarely been addressed, but The Microstates of Europe: Designer Nations in a Post-Modern World shows how it may have clues for the larger understanding of the conflicting agencies of nationalism and globalism currently seen around the world.


The Microstates of Europe: Designer Nations in a Post-Modern World

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ...with some aged horse of the Iberian stock, all about soldiers, and fugitives, and brigands, in times of war and peace, while sheltered for the night at an hostlery, even as the human company, consisting of women, wrapped in their mantillas, monks, muleteers, or merchants, warm themselves at the hearth, where an entire tree seems to be burning. The mule wastes no opinions on the silly cows met on such pasturage as the slopes of Cansore on the flanks of the Maladetta. These are ever prone to curiosity, but are seized with a panic at the sight of an unfamiliar object, and make a stampede. The sheep are only woolly-brained. One should salute the highly intelligent goat, whether domesticated, or alert on the crags. The humblest servant of Andorra, the mule, upholds the foundations by soberly trotting on endless pilgrimages for the public weal. Now the worthy beast carries fuel to the mines, and ore away from the forges, and again makes distant excursions to the market towns of France and Spanish villages. Andorra has stood intact through the centuries, and still teaches the lesson of courage and integrity in our day. The vast empire schemed for by Ferdinand and Isabella, Charles V, and Philip II has shrunk to Spain and a few colonies. The monarchy of Louis XI and Louis XIV is a great republic. We are on the threshold of a new era in the world's history. Who can doubt that the key-note of human evolution will be republicanism? The very air pulses with liberty and equality, and the tides of the great sea of life surge upward in ceaseless movement of unrest and attainment. Republics expand in the full light of the present, but we must not forget the ancient cradles of freedom. " I recall a miniature republic lost in a corner of the Pyrenees, ..".
