Maria Sonia Cristoff: False Calm / B

False Calm

A Journey Through the Ghost Towns of Patagonia

A classic adventure narrative in the vein of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Robert Louis Stevenson... life-changing' CAL FLYN, author of Islands of Abandonment In his mid-twenties, city-bound and restless, Louis D. Hall found himself uncertain. How to create a life he wanted to lead? Inspired by Don Quixote, he decided to fulfil a childhood dream - to make an uncharted journey on horseback. After finding his horse, Sasha, in Italy's Apennine Mountains, Louis set off and headed west. His destination: Cape Finisterre, ?the end of the land'. For three weeks Louis and Sasha survived storms, snow, wolves and the untrodden partisan paths of the Ligurian Alps. But then a young woman arrived with her horse, Istia, and their solitary world was broken. Kiki, adrift with the death of her sibling, joined the journey, and the duo continued together. With every step and every fall, the pair are forced to unfold and trust in their horses and, eventually, each other. Using old and forgotten routes, guided by strangers and nature's clues, the travellers unravel into a wilder way of life; united by the mysteries of the horse, enticed by the illusions of adventure.

“Here is a writer with a rare gift for appreciation and for reminding us of all we have to celebrate in our fractured world.”&nbsp;—Pico Iyer, author of 
The Half Known Life Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

Now updated with a new chapter on the 7 October attacks and more. A Sunday Times Paperback of the Year A Spectator and New Statesman Book of the Year 'An illuminating and riveting read' - Jonathan Dimbleby 'Arresting . . . excellent, doom-freighted' - The Times Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present. In The Making of the Modern Middle East he offers a gripping and invaluable guide, showing how it came to be and what its future might hold. In part based on his acclaimed podcast, Our Man in the Middle East, Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, and their leaders, whether brutal or benign. He explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control. Clear throughout is Bowen's deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan's Turkey, Netanyahu's Israel and Palestine, whether Hamas-controlled Gaza or the West Bank. His long experience of covering events in the region make this an extraordinarily powerful account of one of the world's greatest problems.

How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside

"Harry Bucknall leads us through the multicultural history of our island, with its diverse history and extraordinary quirkiness. Up fell and down river, across walls and dykes, from Iona to Dover, you are in safe hands as he steers a course of over 6,000 miles. A Road for All Seasons is a joy." Julie Summers "The kind of travel book that makes you want to lace up sensible boots and set off immediately" - The Halpern HotlistA journey of 6,518 miles, that filled 14 notebooks and encompassed all 4 countries of the United Kingdom, travelling through 42 out of its 95 counties, visiting 23 cities; requiring 75 trains, 60 maps, 26 cars, 16 buses, 9 ferries, 4 tubes, 4 uber taxis, 4 black cabs, 2 DLR, 2 vans, a canal boat, a probation service minibus, an intercontinental articulated lorry, a 1953 Morris Oxford and a pair of size 9 boots ... A tumultuous period in British politics left writer Harry Bucknall questioning whether he really knew the place he called home. Propelled by a growing desire to better understand his island nation, Harry decided to undertake a pilgrimage of sorts; he embarked on a series of four walks across Britain that would mirror the changing seasons, covering a distance of nearly 1,600 miles.From fresh and heady spring through to the gloriously crisp winter months, Harry journeyed across Britain visiting cities, towns and vast swathes of the countryside from Mull to Sunderland and Aberystwyth to Lowestoft, meeting a host of diverse and charismatic characters along the way as he strove to uncover the beating heart of the nation. Uplifting, joyous and charming, A Road for All Seasons is a vivid, social and cultural snapshot of 21st-century Britain. Focusing as much on the beauty of the fertile land as the people who inhabit it, it explores a unique culture, its folklore both past and present, as well as the wealth of the nation's history and heritage. Exquisitely written and filled with delightful people and places, this is Harry's ardent tribute to the British Isles.
