  Planes Flying over a Monster -...

  From one of Mexico's most exciting young writers, a cosmopolitan and candid essay collection exploring life in cities across the world and reflecting on the transformative importance of literature in understanding ourselves 
   
   
   
  In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldaña París explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal—an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid—a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? 
   
   
   
  Saldaña París turns to literature and film, poetry and philosophy for answers. The result is a hybrid of memoir and criticism, "a sensory work, full of soundscapes, filth, planes, closed spaces, open vastness" (El País).

  In the summer of 1961, Stanley Johnson, accompanied by Tim Severin and Michael de Larrabeiti, set out from Oxford on two BSA 500cc Shooting Star motorcycles to follow Marco Polo's route from Venice to Beijing. Although they came tantalizingly close to the Chinese frontier, they were forced to divert to India. With one motorcycle out of action, the three of them rode the remaining machine down the Grand Truck Road from Kabul to Calcutta. In 2023, Stanley set off again with his fourth son, Max, to finish the journey he had started sixty-two years earlier. With a brilliant camera-crew in tow, they followed Marco Polo's precise route across China, all the way to the Summer Palace of Kubla Khan in Xanadu and on to Beijing itself. This book tells the tale of an extraordinary dream come true.

  Do you want to find amazing and unique experiences around the world? “Strolling with Your Elephant: Perfect Moments in Travel” tells travelers of all ages and abilities how to find and enjoy them. Drawing on twenty-three years as President of D. Tours Travel, a boutique luxury travel agency, Diana Hechler outlines almost eighty experiences that are fun, unusual and thrilling, and that many people do not know are available for everyone. 
  Perfect moments range from waltzing at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna to standing in the sky atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Petting a sleeping rhino in South Africa? Renting a Lockmaster’s cottage along the C&O canal just a few miles from Georgetown in Washington, DC? The sky’s the limit. With almost eighty authentic experiences in numerous countries to choose from, all travelers can take advantage of this compact guidebook to enhance their adventures. 
  As Jamie Biesiada of Travel Weekly puts it, “Diana Hechler paints a vibrant picture of those one-of-a-kind experiences that never quite leave the traveler’s mind — especially those you may never have known existed. She weaves a tapestry of sights, sounds, and experiences that will make anyone want to get up and go.” Barbara Peterson, President of New York Travel Writers’ Association writes, “Strolling with Your Elephant is the ideal travel companion, taking you off the beaten path and on to some truly unique experiences, from Roman chariot racing in Jordan to a tea ceremony at a private museum in Japan. Well-written, and full of insider tips — who knew you can witness a reenactment of Julius Caesar's assassination in the very place it happened? — this book will lead you to those moments that are, after all, why we travel in the first place.”
