Présentation de l'éditeur
Jorge Sánchez is a contemporary Spanish traveler who has devoted over thirty years of his life to discovering the most remote corners of the planet.
In the first English translation of his twenty books, Meeting With Remarkable Travelers (Encuentros con Viajeros Notables) narrates the experiences of Jorge Sánchez during his journeys with the best travelers of the world, against a backdrop of exotic locations such as the hard-to-reach islands of Wake and Midway in the Pacific, the Lena River in the depths of Siberia, and the territory of Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic of Western Sahara.
Across ten chapters, Jorge describes the characters and passions of ten consummate travelers—among them Europeans, Americans, and Asians—who in their youth left everything to undertake the “Way of the Traveler,” as well as thirty more who have demonstrated the heart of exploring every wonder the earth has to offer. All of them share in common a drive, a necessity to discover our planet in order to learn from it. Nothing seems more important to them than to travel, having invested a minimum of twenty years net in their vagabond passion. Having lived lives that most people only dream about, the majority of them already know every country represented by the United Nations.
For them, travel means the “education of the road,” a meeting of destiny, and the only means to develop their internal being. In return, they have acquired an extraordinary depth of knowledge not taught in any school or university of the world.
