Recensione
'A huge tapestry but Lapierre is more than able to make the whole totally fascinating. And without one word that is either cruel or cynical. That is the real strength of the man who is much more than a bestselling author - a writer able to touch our lives with the sense of adventure in others'
CATHOLIC TIMES
'A big feast of words, adventures, and emotions. In this book, Lapierre does more than write. He spreads hope' - LE FIGARO, Paris
'Magnificent...gripping' - EL PAIS, Madrid
'What really strikes is the energy, dynamism, originality, and panache of the stories...a feast' - LA STAMPA, Turin
'A romantic's journey...Breathless accounts of wars, terrorism, bullfights, elephants in Africa' - NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
'Compelling...[Lapierre] has shown how a life of writing can be a life of compassion' - WASHINGTON POST
'A moving account of some extraordinary individuals'
SOUTHERN DAILY ECHO
