"One mans's 4,000 km trek along the Great Wall of China" - something I would like to do, if only in part. So, interesting from the practical aspect but for my taste to cluttered with poetry and quasi metaphysical musings. Still, a worthy achievement. ( ) I managed to finish the book, but never really got any traction. Likeable author with good writing skills; original travel group quickly showed itself as highly disfunctional. A series of sub-journeys, with different partner(s) or alone, made at different times after R & R in Beijing or New Zealand. Interesting observations on China and the Chinese often overshadowed by the members' "issues" or the regular (fear of and real) harrassment by local police. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The epic journey of a New Zealand lawyer, a Buddhist monk, an Argentinean photojournalist, an Italian recording artist and a Mormon golfer, travelling together along the Great Wall of China. Having decided to mark the millennium in cultural, racial and religious harmony, the five men quickly encountered reality- blizzards, lightening strikes, thirst, starvation, snakes and police detention. This is Nathan Gray's account of his 4,000-kilometre trek along the largest man-made structure ever built. His story is remarkable, uncovering the Wall's profound history and revealing insights into China's geopolitical climate, as he shares his personal journey of physical, mental and emotional triumph.
