    Reisverhaal An Unexpected Light - Travels in Afghanistan | Jason Elliot
    Reisverhaal An Unexpected Light - Travels in Afghanistan | Jason Elliot
    An account of a trip through war-torn and poverty-stricken Afghanistan, this remarkable book could have been titled "An Unexpected Beauty." Elliot, who first traveled to the country as a 19-year-old enthusiast of the mujahedin, has no illusions about the inherent shortcomings of travel writing ("a semi-fictional collection of descriptions that affirm the prejudices of the day"). He also dismisses the journalistic method, which relies on a single bombed-out street in Kabul to monolithically represent an entire nation. So it is not without some self-deprecation that he offers his own strange and improbable adventures in the country's lawless stretches and perilous mountain passes. "I had in mind a quietly epic sort of journey," he explains. "I had given up on earlier and more ambitious schemes and was prepared to make an ally of uncertainty, with which luck so often finds a partnership." Humorous, honest and wry, a devotee of Afghanistan's culture, Elliot strives to debunk the myth of "…

    Reisverhaal Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Travels in South Africa | Gavin Bell
    Reisverhaal Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Travels in South Africa | Gavin Bell
    Near the southern tip of Africa, there is a mountain that does a conjuring trick with the biggest tablecloth on earth. In a sacred forest near the Limpopo river, there is a bird that flies on wings of thunder, flashing lightning from its eyes and bearing rain in its beak. In between, there is a hauntingly beautiful land and millions of confused people. When Archbishop Desmond Tutu dubbed his native South Africa the 'Rainbow Nation', he conjured a vision of ethnic diversity and harmony in a country with eleven official languages, two national anthems, and a parliament that shuttled between two cities. As a foreign correspondent reporting on the last days of apartheid, Gavin Bell thought it was a brave image and wondered how long it would endure. A few years later, he returned to find out what had happened to Tutu's rainbow. In his travels he found a country at odds with itself, swinging between hope and despair, buoyed by a sense of freedom and haunted by a fear of violent crime. SOMEW…

    Reisverhaal Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes | Robert Louis Stevenson
    Reisverhaal Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes | Robert Louis Stevenson
    Robert Louis Stevenson was not only a gifted writer, he was also an indefatigable traveller. His thirst for adventure was formed by his boyhood visits to remote Scottish lighthouses, and he spent much of his life fleeing the rigours of cold climes and social orthodoxy. Along the way he canoed through Belgium and France, booked passage to and across America, and finally famously settled in Samoa in the South Seas. The walking trip that Stevenson describes in Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1879) was taken when the nascent author was still in his twenties and pining for a lost love. Accompanied by Modestine, the eponymous donkey he hired to carry his camping gear, the journey proved both challenging and charming. The book is infused with all of the qualities that make Stevenson the most popular of writers: humour and humanity, poetry and perspicacity, ebullience and intelligence.

    Reisverhaal Mani - Travels in the Southern Peloponnessos | Patrick Leigh Fermor
    Reisverhaal Mani - Travels in the Southern Peloponnessos | Patrick Leigh Fermor
    Mani is het meest afgelegen, meest geïsoleerde en wildste gebied van Griekenland. Van de rest van het land afgesneden door de torenhoge bergketen van de Taygetos en ingeklemd tussen de Egeïsche en Ionische Zee, is deze rotsgie centrale uitloper van de Peloponnesus het zuidelijkste punt van mediterraan Europa. Tussen Kaap Matapan, het antieke Tenaron, en de kust van Afrika liggen alleen nog een paar verspreide eilanden. Dicht bij de laatste kaap ligt de grot die naar Hades leidt. Deze bergen waren volgens de bewoners het toevluchtsoord van hun voorouders, de Spartanen, toen er aan hun hegemonie achter de Taygetos een einde werd gemaakt. Het is een gebied vol peilloze afgronden, desolaat en ondoordringbaar, en de paar reizigers die zich er hebben gewaagd, wijzen steeds op een overeenkomst tussen de grillige rotsen en de mensen die er wonen. Mani is het verslag van het verblijf van Patrick Leigh Fermor in deze ruige streek, waarin hij op onnavolgbare wijze het heden en het verleden bij e…

    Reisverhaal Yemen - Travels in Dictionary Land | Mackintosh-Smith
    Reisverhaal Yemen - Travels in Dictionary Land | Mackintosh-Smith
    Our ideas of the Arabian Peninusula have been hijacked: by images of the desert, by oil, by the Gulf War. But there is another Arabia. For the Classical geographers Yemen was a fabulous land where flying serpents guarded sacred incense groves. Medieval Arab visitors told of disappearing islands and menstruating mountains. Vita Sackville-West found Aden 'precisely the most repulsive corner of the world'. Arguably the most fascinating but least known country in the Arab world, Yemen has a way of attracting comment that ranges from the superficial to the wildly fictitious. In Yemen: Travels in Dictionary Land, Tim Mackintosh-Smith writes with an intimacy and depth of knowledge gained through over twenty years among the Yemenis. He is a travelling companion of the best sort - erudite, witty and eccentric. Crossing mountain, desert, ocean and three millennia of history, he portrays hyrax hunters and dhow skippers, a noseless regicide, and a sword-wielding tyrant with a passion for Heinz Ru…
