The Ends of the Earth by Roger Willemsen
An author, foreign correspondent, academic, and television personality, Roger Willemsen is a familiar figure in Germany, and The Ends of the Earth offers English-language readers a chance to engage with his uniquely astute take on the world. Consisting of twenty-two essays recounting and reflecting on a lifetime of travel to the far and forgotten corners of our planet, the book offers remarkable encounters and mysterious entanglements in locations as diverse as a Kamchatkan volcano, a Burmese railway station, an Arctic icebreaker, and a Minsk hospital ward. Willemsen is the perfect companion, reveling in the strange and unlovely, and tracing unexpected connections among places, times, and peoples.Roger Willemsen began his career as an novelist, foreign journalist, academic, and critic before launching his own television show, Willemsens Woche ('Willemsen's Week'). He's also worked as a documentary filmmaker and producer since then. He's published several books, including one based on conversations with former Guantanamo Bay detainees.
