The Kindness of Strangers - Importado
A timely book with an urgent, and eternal, message, featuring original pieces by Simon Winchester, Tim Cahill, Jan Morris, Dave Eggers, Stanley Stewart, Tony Wheeler, Alice Waters and many more. When we miss our train or bus, lose our wallets, fall ill or get lost, a kind stranger can save not only the day, but the entire journey. Lonely Planet?s latest collection explores the unexpected acts of kindness that can occur on the road, those unforgettable connections that transfigure and transform our travels. These stories, from around the globe, depict an assortment of predicaments and resolutions, rich with humor, poignancy, despair and exhilaration. Ultimately, these tales illustrate one of travel?s most fundamental and compelling lessons: that in general, everyday people ? whatever their backgrounds and beliefs ? want to be good and kind to one another. Don George has been a pioneering travel writer and editor for more than two decades. Currently the Global Travel Editor for Lonely Planet, he frequently appears as a travel expert in print, on radio and on TV. He is also the co-editor of Lonely Planet?s highly acclaimed A House Somewhere: Tales of Life Abroad (November 2002).
