Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good +. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First. Binding is black cloth with gilt lettering on spine; some mild shelfwear to base of spine. Dj has had price marked out in felt tip and is a little crease down edge of front cover, otherwise bright and clean, with no noticeable wear. Now protected inside a cover. The equator slices Borneo and Sumatra in half, cuts across Mount Kenya and the mouth of the Amazon. It brushes Singapore, Nairobi and Quito, threads through the Maldives, Gilberts and Galapagos. There is desert in Somalia, a volcano in Ecuador, savannah in Kenya and, most of all, jungle. It is the longest but least visited, least appreciated "natural feature" on this planet. Thurston Clarke would need twelve visas as he crossed and recrossed the equator - in Amazonian jungle, the rain forest of Zaire, on the runway of the terrifying Entebbe airport, in the beautiful "white highlands" of Kenya, the spiky mountains of Sumatra, in a Chinese trading centre in Borneo, and, finally, at the edge of a glacier on Ecuador's Cayambe volcano. Equator is a remarkable and original book - travel writing on a par with Gavin Young, Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux, where encounters with a range of characters is as fascinating, dramatic and integral as the journey itself. 464 pages. Book. Codice articolo 005284
