Or in other words, just 66 kilometers a day on average – which is quite enough for a 30-year-old Land Rover.Amidst the Scottish Highlands, battered by the elements, stands a neglected Land Rover. It does not seem to be the ideal vehicle for a trip around the world, but Christopher Many believes otherwise. He has the dream of embarking on a tour de force to the frozen wastelands of Siberia, North and South America, and across the continent of Africa – equipped with little more than a passport, credit card and full tank of petrol. His goal? “To explore strange new worlds and boldly go where no Land Rover has gone before.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntelligently and with perseverance, Christopher scours the globe from Mongolia to Somaliland to find out what makes the earth “tick”. Soon enough the adventure turns into a sprawling n-dimensional tapestry of philosophical conundrums, rollercoaster emotions and first-hand observations in 100 countries. When he pulls on a few loose threads, a Pandora’s box of information is released, often at odds with conventional Western views. Christopher returns eight years later – exhausted, snake-bitten and malaria-infected – but with a few prized cogwheels in his knapsack, a greater understanding of the world we live in, and … with the love of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqual parts sophisticated lexicon on global affairs and darkly witty travel chronicle, his book presents a vivid picture of the adventures, agonies and joys of world travel, and asks some very “uncomfortable” questions … truly going “where few have gone before”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake a ride in Matilda’s passenger seat next to this vagabonding philosopher, provided you are not in a rush ...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delius Klasing Verlag GMbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052451578096,"sku":"9783667103154","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783667103154_p0.jpg?v=1763728406","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783667103154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
