De cirkel rond is Michael Palins dagboekverslag van zijn avontuurlijke reis rond de grootste oceaan ter wereld. Op zijn eigen, charmante wijze doet Palin verslag van zijn belevenissen in de zo verschillende cultuurgebieden die hij op deze route aandoet. Hij beschrijft zijn bezoek aan een strafkamp in Siberië, eet samen met koppensnellers op Borneo, heeft een schokkende ervaring in een Japans klooster, krijgt wormen voorgezet in Mexico en gaat op kamelenjacht in Australië. I suppose you could describe MP as one of the modern day travellers, not afraid to go the different places and try different things. He's been on a number of "expeditions", and this was in the 1990s. I bought it, not only because I like MP, or becasue it was an easy read travel book, but because I had been to the Philippines, as he did on this trip, and wanted to see his interpretation of and experiences in the country Mijn vader kijkt graag naar zijn documentaires die op BBC worden uitgezonden. Bijzonder wat voor reizen hij maakt! Ik had zoiets kan dat ook goed in een boek worden weergegeven? En ja dat kan! Ik werd meegeslepen door de verhalen. Michael Palin laat je kennismaken met de bijzonderheden van alle landen. Hij gaat ook met mensen in gesprek uit het land zelf. Bijvoorbeeld Eskimo's in Alaska. Ik weet nu een stuk meer over de verschillende landen rond de grote oceaan. Vind dit ook echt een vakantieboek. Dus wie weet volgend jaar een ander boek van hem mee op reis haha... Ach zo ben ik gewoon in de maand september in vakantiesferen gekomen. Yes, another Michael Palin book review (you may be happy to know that I have only two more of his books in my possession)! This is another one of his travel odysseys, this time completing a circle around the countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. From Alaska to Russia, China, Vietnam, Australia, Chile, Mexico and the USA (to name a few), Michael and his team become involved in daily life. This is different to the Around the World in Eighty Days concept, as aeroplanes may be used in transport, but there are still exotic boat and train journeys to impress us. This is an accompaniment to the BBC TV series (which I haven’t finished watching)- but you can still read the book if you haven’t watched the TV series. Michael Palin describes views and events with clarity that will transport you to far reaches of the world. In this book, he visits Australia (namely the Top End- ie. the Northern Territory is described) and it’s interesting to see an Englishman’s take on the remoteness. I find that area of Australia less remote (it’s only a couple of hundred kilometres between towns, not roadhouses/service stations- excellent) but I suppose it’s a lot different from England! I found reading about Japan and Chile particularly interesting as I love Japan (and interesting to compare notes) and Chile because I’ve never even thought about visiting there! Once again, this is a well written travelogue by Palin that invites wanderlust! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The actor and writer reads the account of his third and most ambitious world adventure: an anti-clockwise circumnavigation of the world??s largest ocean, the Pacific. With tales of head-hunters in Borneo and eating maggots in Mexico, Palin brilliantly evokes the full colour and richness of the Pacific R Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
