"I am always finding myself a stranger in other people's worlds," Hammond Innes once said. Living and working with a survey team in the Rockies, with whalers on a catcher, with railway construction gangs in the bleak heart of Labrador; riding with Arabs to the mud skyscraper cities of Hadhramaut, to Buraimi Oasis and the explosive Yemen border; or penetrating the Zone of Insecurity in the Sahara, the Eskimo North of Hudson's Bay... these are not easy things to do. Strangers - disinterested, even hostile at first - must be changed to friends, the body strained to keep up with men doing things they have done all their lives; eternal battles fought to penetrate and be accepted where outsiders are unknown and unwanted. A hunger for strange places, first fed by the war, grew side by side with the power to write about them in a way that carried others with him. The atmosphere of these places became one of the most striking features of his novels. And as his reputation and resources grew, so did the ambition and scope of his travels. Much of personal experience remained that had no place in his novels and this the basis of HARVEST OF JOURNEYS. źródło opisu: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9612135-harvest-of-journeys źródło okładki: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9612135-harvest-of-journeys
