Dreaming Of Jupiter by Ted Simon
* The sequel to the classic travel book JUPITER'S TRAVELS, which sold over half a million copies and was the inspiration for the LONG WAY ROUND trip
Gloriously luminescent, but always self-deprecatingSimon's physical powers are diminishing, but his writing just gets better. The wonderful portraits of the people he encounters, often redolent of Bruce Chatwin, are sometimes so enticing that, were this a movie, you'd swear they were a plant for later on * OBSERVER *
This book has barely left my side in the past few days. It is, by turns, sad, funny and immensely uplifting * TELEGRAPH *
A trip of dreams - and Ted Simon has done it twice . . . a terrific read * RTE GUIDE *
He was on the road for three years, and his new book, Dreaming of Jupiter, is a compelling account of the adventures en route, including breaking a leg in the middle of a vast plain in Ethiopia; a reunion with a camel rider he'd met 25 years before in Eg * SAGA MAGAZINE *
