Book Poza utartym szlakiem. Reportaże z siedemnastu niezwykłych podróży służbowej
Worth reading but not a literary masterpiece The first few chapters wind up the machine to gradually reduce the tension and wake the reader only at the very end When I sometimes browse catalogs with excursion offers filled with bright pictures I have image of a paradise on earth that must be seen but apart from luxury hotels fairy tale landscapes and beaten paths there are other places shadow zones that the world has forgotten and I will never find in any travel agency offer These are the places that this book describes fearful marked by poverty and suffering where human life is like the thinnest string and death is the primary instrument I liked the stories of honor killings in Pakistan Japanese tourists wearing white gloves and masks just like now during the pandemic the civil war in Lebanon serving to newcomers by boat owners in Kashmir the Guatemalan drug mafia crucifixions in the Philippines Thailand where people put into a trance pierce their bodies with sharp objects in tribute to unknown gods and a gloomy and depressing view of the Aral Sea which has become a cemetery of vessels The threads themselves have a strong message as one can see but some of the stories are written shallowly and flimsy they are merely a hint of what is really hidden By the way sometimes it s hard to believe that we have the 21st century and we know so little about the world in which we live because it is convenient for us to walk along the beaten paths 9788360483152
