Panther Publishing , 2010. First thus. Softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. A Very Good copy-lightly worn covers, clean, bright pages. This surprising book is an account of the first motorbike trip (made in 1933), through Iraq, Iran, Pakistan (then called Baluchistan) and into India, by the 20-year-old Max Reisch and his travelling companion Herbert Tichy. Reisch went on to have a successful career as a travel writer. The book has never been out of print since it was first published in Germany in 1949, testament to the enduring appeal of Reisch's youthful and forceful narrative, combined with a strong sense of empathy with the people and cultures he encountered. Reisch's boyish enthusiasm for the road makes this a pacy read, as well as providing a colourful insight into Middle Eastern cultures during the first half of the twentieth century. The challenges of travelling by bike are prominent, and make for entertaining reading. -- Sunday Telegraph, April 18, 2010 by Clover Stroud 216 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

The first overland journey to India by motorcycle in 1933, This is a truly great travel adventure through Iraq, Iran and Baluchistan to India in 1933. But what really sets this book apart are the wonderful descriptions of the people and cultures, now nearly forgotten, but still hugely relevant in today´s age: all brought evocatively to life by the wonderful photos from 1933. At that time, the idea of traveling to India on a motorbike through the deserts was considered impossible; there were no roads and they were attempting to cross the burning deserts in the middle of August, on a tiny two-stroke motorcycle with barely enough power for the bike and rider, let alone a pillion passenger! Gripping stuff, yet perceptive and full of drama - definitely a must for all travel and motorcycle enthusiasts. ePUB, 16.02.2010.
