Discover the life of Som Tamang, a true hero of the Himalayas, and be inspired by his incredible journey of triumph against all odds. Penned by award-winning former ABC journalist Kirsty Nancarrow, Som's life is a testament to the incredible strength of the human spirit, and the enduring power of hope and a singular purpose - to protect girls in Nepal from trafficking and child marriage. Overcoming extreme poverty, child slavery, a tiger attack, a critical head injury, and civil war, Som Tamang's tenacity led him to Australia. Through hard work and a touch of serendipity, he carved out a brighter future for generations to come. 'No matter where you're from you have to have a dream...Som was a young man that wanted to go somewhere. Not to run away but he wanted his own adventure, his own life and ambitions...He did what he said he was going to do.' - Jason Clarke, Australian Actor, Everest 'You can feel his spirit immediately.

He's back! In this second travel memoir, The Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country about which he knows nada. But he quickly amasses an array of new friends – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink. As ever, the characters with whom Steven ingratiates himself become his surrogate (dysfunctional) family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of kids led by the feral Molokai soon have Steven suspecting that his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, ensnaring him in a web of scams. Will he be left for broke, stranded in this shabby paradise? Is his paranoia justifiable, or the result of continuous cocaine use? His response is to embark with the gang on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail. Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully uninformed, Froelich is nevertheless observant and interested. Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they're from or where they're headed.Show book
Irish Impressions by Gilbert Keith Chesterton is a vivid and reflective travel-inspired work that captures the landscapes, culture, and spirit of Ireland through the eyes of one of England's most distinctive literary voices. Blending observation, commentary, and personal reflection, Chesterton offers readers a series of thoughtful impressions shaped by his journeys and encounters across the Irish countryside and its people. Rather than presenting a formal travel guide, the book is a collection of essays that explore Ireland's identity, traditions, and historical atmosphere. Chesterton reflects on the nation's character with characteristic wit and philosophical depth, considering how geography, history, and cultural memory intertwine to shape a people's sense of self. Throughout the work, he examines themes of national identity, folklore, religion, and social life, often contrasting Ireland's cultural richness with broader European developments. His writing combines descriptive storytelling with intellectual insight, creating a portrait that is both personal and analytical. Rich in imagery and expressive language, Irish Impressions conveys a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of Ireland. It stands as both a travel narrative and a cultural reflection, offering readers an engaging exploration of place and perception. Those interested in classic travel literature, cultural essays, and Chesterton's distinctive perspective will find this work both illuminating and memorable.Show book
