Set in 1953, the narrative follows Nicolas Bouvier and his friend Thierry Vernet as they embark on an overland journey from Geneva to the Khyber Pass in a dilapidated Fiat. With limited funds but a strong determination, they encounter unexpected adventures and profound insights. Crafted from Bouvier's journals, this work blends travelogue with self-discovery, echoing themes found in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Bouvier reflects on the transformative nature of travel, suggesting that the journey shapes the traveler as much as the destination.
