This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures of a Gringo Researcher in Brazil in the 1960s or In Search of Cordel is an entertaining and informative account of Professor Currans first foray in Brazil. In this book he tells two stories: the research to collect cordel and, perhaps more importantly, the travel and the adventures of the year in Brazil. The two are inseparable and complement each other. Chapters include Recife and the Northeast, Travels to the interior of the Northeast, research in Brazils colonial capital of Salvador da Bahia, research and tourism in Rio de Janeiro, trips to the interior of Rio, including Ouro Preto, Congonhas do Campo, and a memorable trip on a wood-burning stern wheeler on the Sao Francisco River in Minas Gerais and Bahia, and finally, research in the Amazon Basin, including both Belem do Para and Manaus. The account is not in academic language but in a colloquial, conversational style. Curran writes as one sitting down with the reader and telling tales of his travels, and perhaps with the author and reader enjoying a caipirinha, or a Brazilian draft beer choppe as they talk.

Book excerpt: Gringo on a Chicken Bus details the unforgettable and delightful experiences of David Koons as he begins the adventure of a lifetime with a move to Central America in 1978 to accept a job as the new assistant director of an archaeological foundation in Guatemala City. While growing up in rural Indiana, the author had never experienced an enormous city without the safety net of friends or family. He shares the fascinating details of how he embarked on a journey as a young man to war-torn Central America with only rudimentary Spanish skills, ultimately testing his confidence and self-esteem in ways he never imagined possible. As he takes his first ride on a chicken bus, where not only suitcases are stored in the luggage rack, but also eggs, cans of gasoline, and of course, chickens, David realizes he is in for several eye-opening experiences over the next few years while living in Central America. With a humorous and appealing voice, Koons offers an entertaining look into a culture with colorful traditions, a resilient welcoming people, and a countryside rich in Mayan archeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventures of Don Roberto is a book of action, mystery, friendship and fun. Roberto is a gringo who meets Chapo, the son of a Mexican migrant worker, when his uncle brings Chapo's family from Mexico to work his cotton fields in West Texas. At the tender age of seven, Robert takes the Spanish version of his name. In his mind, the only thing he lacks to be a real Mexican is a Green Card. The boys are friends for life, and the story revolves around their antics when they are young and their adventures, together and separately on both sides of the border, as they become men. Roberto accidentally discovers an international drug smuggling operation and drags a reluctant Chapo into the middle of it. Things get serious when Chapo has to choose between the lives of his wife and children or the life of his friend.

Book excerpt: Marshall Saunders' 'Boy' the Wandering Dog: Adventures of a Fox-Terrier is a captivating novel that follows the journey of a spirited fox-terrier named Boy as he navigates the challenges and joys of life on the road. Written in a vivid and engaging style, the book is set in the late 19th century and provides a unique glimpse into the world of a loyal canine companion through various adventures and encounters. Saunders' descriptive language and attention to detail create a rich and immersive reading experience that will appeal to both children and adults alike. The book's exploration of loyalty, friendship, and the bond between humans and animals is both heartwarming and thought-provoking. Marshall Saunders, a prominent author of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, had a deep love for animals and nature, which is reflected in his writing. His personal experiences and observations of the natural world likely inspired him to create the endearing character of Boy and share his adventures with readers. I highly recommend 'Boy' the Wandering Dog to anyone who enjoys heartwarming stories, animal tales, or classic literature. Saunders' timeless work is sure to leave a lasting impression and remind readers of the importance of companionship and loyalty.

Book excerpt: A revolutionary philosophy for rookie and veteran travelers alike, Rediscovering Travel “gets to the heart of why we travel” (Matt Kepnes, “Nomadic Matt”). Having captivated millions during his tenure as the New York Times’s “Frugal Traveler,” Seth Kugel is one of our most internationally beloved travel writers. With the initial publication of Rediscovering Travel, he took the corporate modern travel industry to task, determined to reignite an age- old sense of adventure that has virtually been vanquished by the spontaneity- obliterating likes of Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and Starwood points. Now in travel- friendly paperback, this “funny, inspiring and well- crafted” companion (Associated Press) reveals how to make the most of new apps and other digital technologies without being shackled to them. Writing for the tight- belted tourists and the fi rst- class fl yer, the eager student and the comfort- seeking retiree, Kugel shows all readers “not only where to look, but how” (Samantha Brown), and promises that we too can rediscover the joy of discovery. “Travel is not about the destination but the experience. . . . That’s what makes [it] so appealing, so addictive, and that’s what makes Rediscovering Travel so necessary.” — Peter Greenberg

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Old Gringo, Carlos Fuentes brings the Mexico of 1916 uncannily to life. This novel is wise book, full of toughness and humanity and is without question one of the finest works of modern Latin American fiction. One of Fuentes's greatest works, the novel tells the story of Ambrose Bierce, the American writer, soldier, and journalist, and of his last mysterious days in Mexico living among Pancho Villa's soldiers, particularly his encounter with General Tomas Arroyo. In the end, the incompatibility of the two countries (or, paradoxically, their intimacy) claims both men, in a novel that is, most of all, about the tragic history of two cultures in conflict.
