Un millón de piedras (Coleccion Documentos) (Spanish Edition)

A fed-up man, a motorcycle, and a beautiful, stunning continent: these are the ingredients that make up Miquel Silvestre’s 9,000-mile journey through deserts, jungles, and savannah, from Nairobi to Cape Town and Maseru to Maputo. The author visited 10 countries during a trip that featured its fair share of blood, broken bones, and beer—a lot of beer. This isn’t a travel diary filled with descriptions of the snows on Kilimanjaro or sunsets on the Serengeti. What it does feature are the voices and stories of locals who tell of a simple beauty in one of the barest places on earth. Without any sentimentality, Silvestre still presents a moving portrait of an oft misunderstood continent.
