Description

For a few brief decades, the overland route from Istanbul to India became the equivalent of the 'Grand Tour' of the 18th century. Before the Revolution in Iran and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, thousands of young people made the journey in search of adventure, and drugs, but something else also: a different understanding of the world. For many it was a life-changing experience. It was a travel experience of a sort which may never return - for instance, by public bus across Helmand Province, where NATO forces were to lose so many lives. It was also a time of innocence and very basic comforts (no internet, no credit cards, no mobile music, not even trainers or fleeces). This account, by award-winning dramatist and novelist Jonathan Falla, is much more than a travelogue. The introduction says: "This is an autobiography; much of my life found expression in the journey and the sharp education it delivered, to a degree that startles me as I write nearly four decades later. It is also, in a small way, an historical document of the old 'hippy trail to the East' which came to a violent end in 1979. And it is a love story - and it makes me melancholy to see now that the relationship could not have endured common life."Enriched with numerous photographs and drawings, this period piece and extraordinarily vivid story will draw you into another time, another place, that you will not easily forget.Published by Stupor Mundi Books, Fife, Scotland UK. www.stupormundibooks.wordpress.com
