The Ends of the Earth

Description:

Translated from German by Peter Lewis. First published as Die Enden der Welt. This remarkable collection of 22 psychogeographic travel essays, ventures far beyond the conventional tourist trail to explore the physical and emotional edges of the world. From the volcanoes of Kamchatka and an Arctic icebreaker to a railway station in Myanmar, a hospital ward in Minsk, a brothel in Mumbai, and the Cape of Good Hope, Willemsen’s journeys made over thirty years become meditations on place, culture, memory, and human experience.
