In an epic 18,000 km bicycle journey through 27 countries, Jonathan B. Roy has experienced countless adventures and misadventures. The former are made up of simple pleasures, which he calls «fun 1»: an endless descent in the Slovenian Alps, kebabs cooked on vine stocks in Georgia, a cozy bed in an ancestral French manor house. The second, incredible events are just as stimulating for this globetrotter, who even calls them «fun 2»: a fainting spell on the edge of a precipice in Tajikistan, death threats in Kyrgyzstan, a tough interrogation by police officers in Burma...
There's no doubt about it, all these experiences are enough to produce the best stories. In this book, he recounts them with relish, a touch of humor and magnificent images. Through unlikely encounters, the slow adventurer takes a positive and sensitive look at the world. Particularly «the good world», like the grandmother who cracks walnuts with her hands, the Kazakh family and their camel milk in the heart of the desert, the policemen enjoying a meal of toads in Cambodia.
Her story, which paints a portrait of simple people and grandiose landscapes, is sure to make you want to leave.
