John Sandoe BooksColin Thubron: The Amur River
Some may have supposed that Thubron had done his last Big Journey (he is now 82), but this is arguably his biggest yet, and most arduous. Indomitable, venerable, he follows this immense river from its source in remote Mongolian bogs to where it emerges in the Sea of Okhotsk in the Russian Far East. It is a complicated journey, much of it surrounded by poverty, desolation, wrecked environments, social collapse and historical contortions in spite of the natural wonders of the landscapes through which he passes. CT is always fascinating and compelling, and this introduction to a world scarcely known...

Dialoghi di Pistoia | Lezioni e conferenzeColin Thubron | Il viaggio e lo scrittore: sulla Via della Seta | Dialoghi di Pistoia 2013Colin Thubron, infaticabile viaggiatore e scrittore, racconta i suoi 50 anni di viaggi e di incontri, i valori, i limiti da accettare e i rischi da affrontare. Viaggi vissuti sempre come una ricerca della verità e dell’umanità di quei luoghi per poi restituirne con i suoi romanzi lo spirito, per superare il pregiudizio, abbandonare la logica dilagante del “turista-consumatore”. Ha percorso tutta la Via della Seta, 7.000 miglia dalla Cina al Mediterraneo, la strada che per secoli ha dato vita a una “globalizzazione” arcaica.
