My 30 Journeys Beyond the Horizon (1983 – 2019)
The well-known Czech writer, publicist and traveler wrote more than just a captivating travelogue. It is both a penetrating generational statement and a report on the state of the planet and civilization. The author does not play the hero or a truly great traveler, so his ability to leave the comfort of home and go to the mercy of harsh nature can be a great inspiration for everyone.
Often humorous or, conversely, dramatic incidents alternate with fundamental thoughts or observations. And because Martin Vopěnka’s frequent guide on his travels is the guru of all adventurers, Jaroslav Pavlíček, one of the toughest men of our time, readers really have something to look forward to. 29 journeys will take them to Romania, Chile, Argentina, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, the Philippines, Antarctica…, but also to the Small Barracks in Liberec in 1986, because the author simply could not miss the absurd communist military service.
