{"product_id":"9780299223236","title":"Honorable Bandit: A Walk across Corsica","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrian Bouldrey traveled to the island of Corsica, with its wine-dark Mediterranean waters, powdered-sugar beach sand, sumptuous cuisine, and fine wine. And then he walked away from all of them.\u003cbr\u003e      Bouldrey strapped on a backpack and walked across Napoleon's native land with the same spirit many choose to dance or drink: to celebrate, to mourn, to think, to avoid thinking, to recall, to ignore, to escape, and to arrive.\u003cbr\u003e      This wonderfully textured account of a two-week ramble along a famous Corsican hiking trail with his German friend Petra (she was good at the downhills while he was better at the uphills) offers readers a journal that is a launching point for reflection: thoughts on cultural differences, friendship, physical challenge, personal challenge, and getting very, very lost. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part lampoon, this book offers readers an impressionistic view of a little talked about yet stunningly beautiful landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e  Best Books for General Audiences, selected by the American Association of School Librarians and the Public Library Association   Runner-up, Best Travel Book, National Association of Travel Journalists","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084409618672,"sku":"9780299223236","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780299223236_p0.jpg?v=1763683172","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780299223236","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
