in Guild Wars 2
Before I start playing I would like to learn more about the world behind the game, I have already read the two books Edge of Destiny and Ghosts of Ascalon. But is there anywhere more information?

Here you go.
Subscribe to youtube user Wooden Potatoes. He releases a lot of lore related videos and I think he's even doing a lore summary of GW1.
this, he not only has lore vids but has a lot of lore in his GW2 daily vids

That thread has a list of good topics to brush up on before jumping into GW2.
Thanks for the links, The last thing I'll be doing is going over the lore. I am usually not a big lore person but I'll make an exception in this case.
Everything you need to know about Elder Scrolls Online
Playing: GW2
Waiting on: TESO
Next Flop: Planetside 2
Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
Here are some sources to get you started:

And I can recommend the novels even though they aren't written very well:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ghosts_of_ascalon
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Edge_of_destiny
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sea_...ows_%28book%29
Note that the third one, Sea of Sorrows, is not released yet.
Of course you can also buy and play GW1 but I understand that for money, time and for gameplay reasons people might not want that.
...you mean the books he said he already read? Hmm.
