Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. An adventurous couple from New York City who have more imagination than money, decide to take a walking trip in Mexico from Lake Patzcuaro to the Pacific and back with only the help of two burros. They walk 750 miles round trip and enjoy meeting and staying with country people all along the way. I really enjoyed reading this book and should never complain about the process of traveling again. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Strange Roads is a small gem of travel literature in the tradition of works by John Van Dyke, Carl Lumholtz, Charles Lummus, Mary Austin, Edward Hoagland, and Bruce Chatwin. But for all its absorbing detail about topography, flora, and fauna, its keen observations of character, and its vivid re-creation of the sense of place, it is much more than a travel memoir. For on every page one senses the strength, character, and distinctive perspective of Mary del Villar herself. An uncommon woman by any standards, she seems all the more remarkable when one recalls the profoundly reactionary gender ideologies that prevailed in the postwar era in which she lived and wrote. Like other great female wanderers, she transcended the confining notions of woman her society would have imposed on her, living her life according to the dictates of her own intrepid spirit." -From the foreword by Susan Hardy Aiken Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
