It is a journey of discovery and of rediscovery -- of the unknown and the unexpected, but also of people and places he knew as a young and optimistic teacher forty years before.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSafari in Swahili simply means \"journey\", and this is the ultimate safari. It is Theroux in his element -- a trip where chance encounter is everything, where departure and arrival times are an irrelevance, and where contentment can be found balancing on the top of a truck in the middle of nowhere.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for Paul Theroux:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Theroux's work remains the standard by which other travel writing must be judged' Observer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'One needs energy to keep up with the extraordinary, productive restlessness of Paul Theroux ... [He is] the most gifted, most prodigal writer of his generation' Jonathan Raban\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Always a terrific teller of tales and conjurer of exotic locales, he writes lean prose that lopes along at a compelling pace' Sunday Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPaul Theroux's books include Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel and The Lower River.
