When Christopher Hunt set off in search of Vietnam's notorious Ho Chi Minh Trail, he hardly expected to end up on a rickety, Russian-made motorcycle navigating 5,000 kilometers of paths rarely traveled by tourists and on roads missing from maps. Hunt left the United States expecting to explore the 1,700-kilometer highway that was once the supply route for the North Vietnamese Army. He soon found himself roaming the Vietnamese countryside in need of help and direction.

In 1986, fresh out of college, Gilman and her friend Claire yearned to do something daring and original that did not involve getting a job. Inspired by a place mat at the International House of Pancakes, they decided to embark on an ambitious trip around the globe, starting in the People's Republic of China. At that point, China had been open to independent travelers for roughly ten minutes. Armed only with the collected works of Nietzsche, an astrological love guide, and an arsenal of bravado, the two friends plunged into the dusty streets of Shanghai.

Efter Japans nederlag under anden verdenskrig, var landet blot en skygge af det imponerende kejserdømme, det havde været i årtusinder før krigen. De japanske soldater blev henrettet på stribe for deres krigsforbrydelser, men paradoksalt nok lod man kejseren gå fri. Karl Eskelund besøgte landet i de vaklende efterkrigsår og talte med japanske borger, politikere og rettighedsforkæmpere om dette paradoks og meget andet. Bogen giver et unikt indblik i japanernes forsøg på at rejse sig som nation og finde en plads i den nye verdensorden. Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk for

Få år efter at Indien endelig var blevet et selvstændigt land, kørte Karl Eskelund og hans kone, Chi-Yun rundt for at opleve landets alsidighed og nye identitet efter hundrede år som vesteuropæisk koloni. Det de så på deres vej, var ikke ligefrem et glansbillede, og Karl Eskelund lægger ikke fingre imellem, når han beskriver Indiens store udfordringer og kolonialisme grusomme spor. Alligevel bevarer han sin varme tone og lader også nogle muntre og interessante anekdoter bryde den alvorlige stemning. Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk forfatter og journalist, der skrev en la

Da den danske eventyrer og rejseskribent Karl Eskelund besøger Nepal i 1960‘erne, er det som at komme til et magisk sted fra en helt anden tid. De mennesker, han møder, tager ham med op i smukke bjergområder og ned i mytiske dale. De introducerer ham for tiggere såvel som for gudinder, og han får endda også lov til at møde en konge. Han kunne aldrig glemme Nepal efter denne rejse, og det samme gælder måske for læseren af denne bog.

Autor opisuje Indonezję XXI wieku, w której Dajakowie ścinają wrogom głowy i zjadają ich serca, Toradżowie grzebią zmarłych wiele lat po śmierci, mieszkają z trupami, kilka lat po pogrzebie wyjmują ich z trumien i spacerują z nimi, a Papuasi zabijają i zjadają ludzi w najdzikszej dżungli świata, bo to stanowi sens ich życia. Opowiada o wyjątkowej wielkanocnej procesji morskiej i takimż polowaniu z harpunami na wieloryby.

Il viaggio più affascinante è un viaggio antico, graduale, privato e sociale insieme: il viaggio in treno. I treni sono teatri, caffè, bazar. L'unico talk-show che non conosce crisi è quello che si replica quotidianamente sulle rotaie. La confidenza genera libertà: ci ha messo insieme il caso, ci dividerà una stazione. I treni aiutano a pensare. Tutti i grandi viaggi - dai pellegrinaggi cattolici al Grand Tour, dalla prima partenza con gli amici al viaggio di nozze - sono, in fondo, una scoperta di se stessi: il panorama che c'interessa sta dentro di noi.

Tessa Keswick first travelled to China in 1982 and immediately fell in love with its history, culture and landscape. Over the next 30 years, she travelled extensively in China, visiting its temples and landmarks, the sites of its most famous battles and the birthplaces of its best-known poets and philosophers. She also witnessed China's transformation, as hundreds of millions were lifted out of poverty and the country emerged as an economic superpower in waiting.

In his latest entertaining and thought provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three 'tiger' nations and what prevents them from making peace.

Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close.

On his 44th birthday, Eric Newby sets out on an incredible journey: to travel the 1,200-mile length of India's holy river. In a misguided attempt to keep him out of trouble, Wanda, his lifelong travel companion and wife, is to be his fellow boatwoman. Their plan is to begin in the great plain of Hardwar and finish in the Bay of Bengal, but the journey almost immediately becomes markedly slower and more treacherous than either had imagined - running aground 63 times in the first six days.

In 1976 James Crowden left his career in the British army and travelled to Ladakh in the Northern Himalaya, one of the most remote parts of the world. The Frozen River is his extraordinary account of the time he spent there, living alongside the Zangskari people, before the arrival of roads and mass tourism. James immerses himself in the Zangskari way of life, where meditation and weeklong mountain festivals go hand in hand, and silence and solitude are the hallmarks of existence.

Thailand, the land of smiles and golden dreams, is languishing, and Pattaya, its biggest fun city, is succumbing to a thousand ills. Pattaya Pains is about living in Pattaya over the long term. Even though the collection of essays, stories, and observations herein would relish the golden dream of painting Pattaya as a romantic hotspot where Thais and foreigners bond, it can’t do so - not only because East is East and West is West, but also because Thais just don’t see foreigners in a good light.
