WALKING THE NILE

Book ID/图书代码： 04851313B66707

English Summary/英文概要： His journey is 4,250 miles long. He is walking every step of the way, camping in the wild, foraging for food, fending for himself against multiple dangers. He is passing through rainforest, savannah, swamp, desert and lush delta oasis. He will cross seven, very different countries. No one has ever made this journey on foot. In this detailed, thoughtful, inspiring and dramatic book, recounting Levison Wood’s walk the length of the Nile, he will uncover the history of the Nile, yet through the people he meets and who will help him with his journey, he will come face to face with the great story of a modern Africa emerging out of the past. Exploration and Africa are two of his great passions - they drive him on and motivate his inquisitiveness and resolution not to fail, yet the challenges of the terrain, the climate, the animals, the people and his own psychological resolution will throw at him are immense. The dangers are very real, but so is the motivation for this ex-army officer. If he can overcome the mental and physical challenges, he will be walking into history...

Wood s interest, as well as his talents as a writer, lie . . . in finding out what life was like in corners of the world that do not always make it into our headlines and in capturing the character and foibles of the people who inhabit them . . . Mr. Wood has a good eye for detail and a better ear for dialogue . . . What s more, unlike many explorers who went before him, Mr. Wood seems to have remained composed and charming throughout. "Wall Street Journal"

Wood . . . was bred by all appearances out of Bear Grylls by Sir Ranulph Fiennes . . . What elevates this perfectly reasonable 4,000-mile northbound wander through Africa . . . is how Wood deals with the very lowest point of the trip. "New York Times Book Review"
