Reisverhaal The Robber of Memories | Michael Jacobs
Reisverhaal The Robber of Memories | Michael Jacobs
A gripping journey up the River Magdalena into the centre of Colombia, and a deeply personal meditation on memory and loss in the footsteps of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Running through the heart of Colombia is a river emblematic of the fascination and tragedy of South America, the Magdalena. Considered by some to be the most dangerous place in the world, travellers along the river - for centuries the only route into the vast South American interior - were at the mercy of tropical disease, dangerous animals and precarious barges. A third of the victims of 'la violencia', Colombia's period of civil conflict which began in the 1950s, ended up in its waters. Townships alongside it have experienced some of the worst massacres in South American history. In 2011, Michael Jacobs travelled its whole length to the river's source high up in Andean moorlands controlled by guerrillas. In spellbinding prose, he charts the dangers he negotiated - including a terrifying three day encounter with the FAR…

Wegenkaart - landkaart Laos - The Mekong River: from source to sea | Odyssey
Wegenkaart - landkaart Laos - The Mekong River: from source to sea | Odyssey
Laos has been discovered. For centuries this land-locked country in southeast Asia was a sleepy, almost forgotten little principality, sometimes wielding great power but mostly fighting for survival against predatory neighbors. It survived the American Indochina War and emerged as a progressive socialist country. This remote, mountainous country, protected from the ravages of tourism and rapid development, remains pristine and exotic. Laos is still green; its rivers mostly run free. But if you want to see the old Laos you have to move fast. Lovely Laos is located at the heart of romantic Indo-Chine. A precious pearl of a country blessed with natural beauty, exotic flora and rare fauna, Laos also hosts the mighty Mekong river for the larger part of its almost 5,000 kilometre journey from the Tibetan Plateau to the distant sea. Whether you chose to travel Laos by land or by water or both, this illustrated map will enhance your journey both as a pre-trip planner and as a post-trip souven…

Wegenkaart - landkaart - Wegenatlas Pan-Americana North | ITMB
Wegenatlas - A5 formaat - verschillende schalen - voor de het Noord-Amerikaanse gedeelte van de Pan-Americana ( Pan-American Highway ) van Alaska langs the Pacific kust van British Colombia in Canada, de staten Washington, Oregon en Californie, Mexico, Guatemala tot Panama.   The Pan-American Highway was created by the USA to improve road communications within the Western Hemisphere post-WW2. The highway started at the Mexican border and eventually reached somewhere south of Santiago in Chile. It was a vote-buying gimmick by the Americans to fund allies, but it also created an essential 'spine' road through Central America to the Darien Gap and along the west coast of South America to the then-limits of Chile. Driving the Pan-Am has become a travel experience. More recently, the improvement in more northerly highways, such as the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, the paving of most of the Stewart Highway through British Columbia, and the tremendous improvement in…

Reisverhaal Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes | Robert Louis Stevenson
Reisverhaal Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes | Robert Louis Stevenson
In 1878 Robert Louis Stevenson escaped from his numerous troubles--poor health, tormented love, inadequate funds--by embarking on a journey through the Cévennes in France, accompanied by Modestine, a rather single-minded donkey. The notebook Stevenson kept during this time became Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, a highly entertaining account of the French and their country. The Amateur Emigrant describes his travels to and around America: the crowded weeks in steerage, the cross-country train journey. Filled with sharp-eyed observations, it brilliantly conveys Stevenson's perceptions of America and the Americans. Together, these writings reveal as much about the traveler as the places he travels to.
