书籍介绍
Following in the footsteps of great explorers such as Lawrence of Arabia and Wilfred Thesiger, Arabia is Levison Wood's account of his most complex expedition yet: circumnavigating the Arabian Peninsula. Travelling through some of the harshest and most beautiful environments on earth, he seeks to challenge our perceptions of an often misunderstood part of the world, seeing how the region has changed and examining the stories we don't often hear about in the media.
用户评论
作者四、五个月的阿拉伯半岛的旅行经历,最让人印象深刻的是也门和为了去沙特的索马里经历,及在叙利亚遭遇的种种平民悲剧:石油的发现改变了中东的一切,宗教的力量太强,跟不上当下世界的发展,经济疲软让年轻人的热血和精力无处挥霍,部族的离心力过强,种种形成了当下中东的混乱局势。
从友邻的瞬间里捡到的书。作者挺幽默的,但这类型的书总是走马观花的感觉。
充满阳刚之气又不失幽默的旅行文学。一个英国人,只身踏上伊拉克、叙利亚、甚至是也门和索马里的土地,勇气令人钦佩。读之前并不知道,作者是相当有名的徒步探险家,已经走过尼罗河全程和喜马拉雅山脉,算是邂逅的惊喜吧。
