Where Are The Arrows In The Papercity

Renz Sion: Roger Willemsen "The ends of the world" - non-fiction

preliminary, Roger Willemsen has designed a very remarkable book. How do we know the author as a curious man, the drives it always know what lies behind the next mountain and is not only the spatial component, but also the interpersonal fathom a person opposite meaning, he has made in this book the trouble his travel experiences from many years of stray us in bringing readers.

Roger Willemsen is a restless spirit. The distance it seems to attract magical. This distance is not far away in the tourist sense, but it has always gone to places where he has tried to identify the human distance.

This successful book is not from a single continuous story, but it is divided into 22 individual travel accounts around the globe, said he misses the North Pole itself not as a goal of his curiosity. Otherwise, his explorations, as I said, not primarily devoted to the exoticism of the tourist.

course, its respective goals of immense tourist interest, because who would not like such Places like Patagonia, Timbuktu, the Kamchatka Peninsula, Hong Kong or the islands of Tonga in the South Pacific, to name but a few want to travel.

But Willemsen is not a travel writer, though he especially created to describe the reader too impressive to countries and places, he's ultimately about the people he encounters in each case to see in their environment, but they in look inside to see how they were shaped by their environment. All his stories are moving ultimately in the extreme. There he will pick up the people and their life stories, they discover, to understand them. Of course, is the North Pole and the interest of the people who want to hinbegeben there, in some ways just as extreme as his visit to a brothel in Bombay, which is occupied as the last refuge of AIDS-stricken young women. All these are for the author experience, of which he has seemingly to the ends of the world. I would like to accept this, because I have as a young student once tried to make similar experiences.

In conclusion I will argue in this review again what it takes this intellectual travelers: There are the extreme stories of people who are being made literary. The exotic destinations where Willemsen has tracked these people from different backgrounds. This can be be a shabby hostel in Timbuktu and the inertia mass tourism in a Tuscan art metropolis.

This is a wonderful book for people who travel do to not only a postcard-perfect record in itself, but also drives the curiosity to experience the diversity of people and their experiences on the planet.
