  The narrow Darién Gap, the only land bridge connecting South and Central America, encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle, covered in steep mountains, dense rainforests, and flood-prone marshes. Known in Spanish as el infierno verde, or “the green hell,” it is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. Its terrain is too treacherous for roads, yet hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers contend with its horrors every year in the hopes of reaching the United States, still some three thousand miles away. And of the countless who set out for the border, an untold number never arrive. In this book, journalist Belén Fernández travels through the Darién Gap to report on the dehumanizing and deadly stretch of land that has become a mass graveyard for migrants. Fernández’s journey brings her into contact with refuge seekers, people smugglers, law enforcement officials, and many more whose stories bring life to a place overwhelmingly associated with death. Combining history, on-the-ground reporting, travelogue, memoir, and searing politico-economic analysis, she shines light on a largely made-in-the-USA crisis that has come to define our modern era.

  MYKONOS MADE ME DO IT - The...

  Mykonos is a place of contradictions. Billionaires dancing next to backpackers. Sunset romance followed by sunrise regret. A simple beach day that somehow becomes a three-day adventure. A calm breeze that turns into a wind that takes your wig, your dignity, and sometimes your patience. 
  In this audiobook, you will meet real people of the island. The ones who stay all year. The ones who return every summer without knowing why. The ones who swear they will never come back and then find themselves at the airport again three months later. 
  Inside, you will hear true stories, scandals that sound like fiction, cultural notes that explain why things are the way they are, and a sense of humor that comes from surviving Mykonos and still loving it anyway. This is a guide, a confession, a love letter, and a warning all at once. 
  Listen if you want to understand the island behind the glamour. Listen if you want to laugh and maybe recognize yourself in the stories. Listen if you are ready for the truth. 
  Because no matter what happens, Mykonos always wins.

  Eothen - Traces of Travels...

  One of the most witty and idiosyncratic travel books, Eothen started out as a few notes scribbled on the back of a map for a friend, but took Kinglake seven years of painstaking work to finesse. The physical details of the journey, undertaken in 1834 through Turkey, Cyprus, the Holy Land, Cairo and Damascus, are barely mentioned. The infectious charm lies in the conversations, the whimsical chance encounters and the attitudes of the author. Over the years, Kinglake has been recognised as a stylist without equal.

  The Back Of Beyond - Travel Tales

  Dominic Ryan

  Travelling is something most of us do perfectly well. It often involves a stroll in the park or sojourn in the sun. 
  Dominic Ryan, for reasons unfamiliar with common sense, is more likely to find himself facing down charging hippos on the Zambezi or tracking angry Namibian cheetahs in a vintage aeroplane. 
  There is little in the way of logic in his backpack as he tumbles into a war zone in Ukraine or tries to save a Malaysian rainforest by chasing bats. 
  Is The Back of Beyond a memoir, travelogue or cry for help? It’s all of the above and by turns fascinating and funny, thrilling and thoughtful. 
  As a wise genie probably once said, wandering and wondering are the same worthy pursuit: it’s just one has an ‘ah!’ and the other an ‘oh!’. 
  If you dare venture to The Back of Beyond, gird your khaki-clad loins for an abundance of both . . . and even the occasional ‘ooh’!
