[EAN: 9781741791860], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Lonely Planet], TIPS & ADVICE, GUIDEBOOKS, TRAVEL WRITING, 344 pages. Spine fadedIn an age of plastic knives on planes, Tony Wheeler can make the extraordinary claim of having visited a ll the rogue countries currently on newsreaders' lips. Bad Lands is a witty first-hand account of his travels through some of the most repressive and dangerous regimes in the world: Afghanistan, Albania, Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea and Saudi Ar abia. Taking into account each country's attitude to human rights , terrorism and foreign policy, he asks 'what makes a country tru ly evil?' and 'how bad is really bad?' - all the while engaging w ith a colorful cast of locals and hapless tour guides, ruminating on history and debunking popular myths. Written by the founder o f Lonely Planet, this fascinating account of life in these closed -off countries will appeal to anyone with an interest in the stat e of the world today. Editorial Reviews From Booklist Wheeler t raveled through nine countries--or, if you prefer, bad lands--Afg hanistan, Albania, Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, a nd Saudi Arabia. Some were selected because of their human-rights abuses; Libya because it has done absolutely everything wrong; A fghanistan for harboring terrorists; and Albania simply because i t's an example of a little dictatorship that cut itself off from the outside world at considerable cost to its own people. Wheeler posits that his book is not an account of the Most Dangerous Pla ces because he's careful, cautious, and has a low tolerance for p ain. He describes the weather, hotels, restaurants, shops, museum s, and the people he meets. The author, Lonely Planet's cofounder , wrote his first guidebook in 1973 and since then has written or contributed to 30 more titles. Readers can join him traveling th rough some of the most repressive and perilous countries in the w orld without fear of being attacked. George Cohen Copyright © Ame rican Library Association.
