In
the summer of 2009, I visited the ancient lands of Lebanon.
Politically,
at least superficially, it was a period of relative calm.
The
journey took in some of the varied geographical sites of the country and the culturally
diverse ethnic regions.
Along
the way, I met some unique characters and sampled some of the many cultural
delights of this fascinating and troubled country.
Around
each corner, there were many surprises and delights and this book is a tribute
to the place and the people that I met.
This
illustrated book includes practical suggestions for the visitor and advice on
further reading about the country.
I'll be ordering most of your travel journal books once I get back to the UK.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to reading your impressive back list and new books. Jim
I was quite happy with my book on Lebanon. I wrote it very quickly and it was a successful and spontaneous trip. A friend who took it to Lebanon and followed my route wrote the following comment: "That book was my essential guide on my trip to Lebanon", which pleased me. It was also full of meetings with interesting and eccentric people.
