بیوگواپیزود ٠۴ - سیاح مشرق زمینسیاح مشرق زمین
اپیزود چهارم بیوگو به زندگی و سفرهای ابنبطوطه اختصاص دارد. مردی که هشت قرن پیش، حدود سی سال از عمر خود را در سفر گذراند و با تقسیمات جهان امروز، به ۳۵ کشور سفر کرد. مسیر ۱۱۷ هزار کیلومتری (معادل ۳ دور کره زمین) که او طی کرد، با همه داستانهایش از یاد رفته بود اگر نویسندهای پیدا نمیکرد تا شرح سفرهایش را برایش ثبت کند.
در ادامه این شماره، قرنها را ورق زدیم تا رسیدیم به جهانگردی که بیست سال پیش سفرهایش را از مسیر جاده ابریشم شروع کرد و با موتورسیکلت از اروپا، آمریکا و آفریقا گذشت و حالا منتظر یک قدم عقبنشینی کووید۱۹ است تا کولهپشتیاش را بردارد و راهی شود. مصاحبه ما را با معصومه امیریمقدم خواهید شنید. این گفتگو شوخیای است با آقای ابنبطوطه که از قدرت زنان در برخی کشورها حیرت و شکایت کرده!
جادهها و کتابخانهها منتظر میمانند. راهها منتظر مسافران و کتابخانهها منتظر قصههای سفر. سفرنامه ثبت شوق رفتن است و راوی، تا جهان هست مسافر میماند.
