Ewan McGregor Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Biography detailing motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman's recovery from a major road traffic accident in February 2016.

Cestovatelská touha dvou dobrodruhů, Ewana McGregora a Chaleyho Boormana, po jejich senzační cestě kolem světa v roce 2004 neutuchla. Poté, co v Africe navštívili UNICEF, bylo jim jasné, že se musí vrátit a blíže se s tímto pozoruhodným světadílem seznámit. A tak se vydali na 24 000 kilometrů dlouhou dobrodružnou výpravu, při které se setkali s tím nejobtížnějším terénem a těmi nejpřátelštějšími lidmi na světě. Při jízdě velkolepou krajinou, často v extrémních teplotách, čelili Ewan a Charley nejtěžším zkouškám svého života. Se svým příznačným humorem popisují dramata, nebezpečí a ryzí potěšení z další společné jízdy, tentokrát skrze kontinent plný divů a zázraků.

After chasing their shadows across the world, journeying east from London to New York, actors (and bike fanatics) Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn't shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF visit to Africa, they realised their new destination could be nowhere else.

In January 2006, 230 people raced in trucks, cars, and motorbikes from Lisbon to Dakar in the 28th annual Dakar rally—the most challenging race in existence. Taking part was a team of three bikers—Matt Hall, Simon Pavey, and actor and bike nut Charley Boorman. After his celebrated trip round the world with Ewan McGregor, documented in Long Way Round , Charley was keen for another challenge. Racing in the Dakar had always been a dream of his, and so it was the obvious choice for a new adventure. Supported by Australian champion biker Simon Pavey and experienced British biker Matt Hall, Charley attempted to do what many professional bikers have failed to do—to successfully compete in the Dakar rally. His book details his extraordinary adventures and those of his fellow bikers, and also explores the history of this most dramatic and romantic of races. From Portugal through Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, and Senegal, it also provides a unique look at the countries hosting the rally. It is an exhilarating and fitting sequel to Long Way Round .
