A review by peixinhodeprata
Pole to Pole by Michael Palin
4.0
What a great book! Considering almost 30 years have passed since Michael Palin has undertaken this journey, it is still a very interesting and refreshing book to read. The world seemed to be a very eventful place in 1991. The disintegration of the Soviet Union, the beginning of the end for Apartheid, the end of a dictatorship in Ethiopia, Palin has seen it all and related all to us.
Interspersed with funny appointments, even his ailments have an entertaining description. I recommend it to all people that enjoy a very good travel book, that shows us a specific moment in time. I wonder how much different some of the places would be if visited now.
