Discuss Dark Star Safari , Overland from Cairo to Cape Town by acclaimed travel writer Paul Theroux. In this book, he tells the story of his journey across the African continent. Observant and intensely curious, not only does he witness the poverty, disease, and corruption, but also the wide diversity of Africa. He interacts with both famous people and tribesmen, ventures where caution might be better advised, and assimilates himself into places rarely seen by big-game safaris or tourists.
Discussion Session
Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Discuss Shadow of the Silk Road by Colin Thubron. It is his account of his 7000-mile trek along the Silk Road from the ancient Chinese capital of Xian to Antioch, Turkey. Along the way he encounters the dichotomy of the ancient civilizations and modern lifestyles and politics. Asia is a continent still beset by upheaval, and Thubron's wanderings among the locals shows him the new economy in China, the war in Afghanistan, and the political changes in Iran.
