AWAY FROM MY DESK by RIF K. HAFFAR
|
SummaryTraveling mainly by motorcycle, the author traverses 45
countries on six continents in this memoir, experiencing
both fascinating and harrowing travails during a one-year
journey. With a healthy mix of contemporary and historical
perspectives, new insights are provided on typical tourist
destinations like the Taj Mahal and the Trevi Fountain.
Additionally, encounters with a law enforcement official in
the Czech Republic and a panty-wielding pickpocket in
Istanbul (among other things) supply plenty of humor along
the way. These vivid and engaging accounts showcase the
destinations not just as tourists see them, but as residents
experience them as well, realistically portraying floods,
earthquakes, and civil unrest.
