Looking for Legends - Scott

. .

Résumé :
Which would you rather have dreams, or memories? Not since the classic 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has there been such a call to adventure. Whether you're an armchair traveler, an occasional tourist, a seasoned globe-trotter, a daring adventurer, or an intrepid explorer, there's something for everyone in Looking for Legends. Part travelogue and part good old-fashioned action story, Looking for Legends provides witty commentary as Scott and Tarantino recreate the magic and excitement of adventure. These married travelers spanned the globe over a period of 25 years and discovered that travel is more than anticipating the journey, the mechanics of reaching the destination, or even the sights they encountered. It's about the people. Within these pages are the incredible individuals they befriended with along the way-the towering legends who lived life out loud. Complete with original, hand-drawn maps and more than 150 images, Looking for Legends delivers you to destinations from your wildest dreams. Walk through the desert sands with T.E. Lawrence. Dance the tango with Ricardo Guiraldes. Drink ouzo on Stavros Beach with Zorba the Greek. Discover a mountain higher than Everest with Edward Whymper. Unlock the secrets of the Rosetta Stone with Jean-Fran?ois Champollion. Explore Greenland with Knud Rasmussen. Conquer the Seven Summits with Reinhold Messner. Flee a crumbling regime with Pablo Neruda. Survive Communism thanks to the power of poetry with Anna Akhmatova. Hunt a man-eating tiger with Jim Corbett. And many more....
