An Adventurous Life (e-book) (used book) | Ralph Lambert | bookbook.eu

Description

An Adventurous Life contains the musings and observations of an American man who, with his family, left the comforts of life in the late-1960's to move to Asia and subsequently travel around that continent in the next twenty-five years. The author points out in often humorous commentary that the interesting ways of life he experienced are quickly disappearing. An Adventurous Life is an entertaining attempt to freeze those moments in time, both for himself and his family and for the sake of his readers who will never be able to experience Asia in the same way. It is said that a journey is measured not in miles but memories. This book transports the reader to a different world through a delightful first-person account that reads like a combination travelogue and memoir. Through eight very different countries, readers are treated to intimate glimpses of lands and humanity. This recounting of countries crossed, customs encountered, and friends made, is a culturescape of time and territory. The author shows the reader that his experiences of various ways of life through travel opened his eyes to a new concept in human relations and human behavior, and that he's grateful for the experience.
