'The pace of this kind of travel has not much changed since Fogg set out in 1872. Trains may be a little faster, but there are certainly no high-speed rail links yet across India, China or the USA. Passenger services have practically disappeared from the world's shipping lanes ... Recourse to air travel, even as a convenient means of escape, was not allowed.' Following the route taken by Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier, Michael Palin set out from the Reform Club to circumnavigate the world. The rules were simple, but nothing else about the trip was straightforward... From a tour of Venice on a rubbish barge to ship spotting at the Suez Canal and the bicycle rush hour and snake snacks in China, this is an unparalleled tribute to man's ability to make life difficult for himself.

The second volume of Michael Palin's diaries covers the bulk of the 1980s, a decade in which the ties binding the Pythons loosened--they made their last film "Monty Pyton's Meaning of Life" in 1983. For Michael, writing and acting took over much of his life, culminating in his appearances in "A Fish Called Wanda," in which he played the hapless, stuttering Ken, and won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor. "Halfway to Hollywood" follows Palin's torturous trail through seven movies and ends with his final preparations for the documentary that was to change his life--"Around the World in 80 Days."During these years he co-wrote and acted in Terry Gilliam's "Time Bandits" as well as spearing in Gilliam's follow-up success "Brazil." Palin co-produced, wrote and played the lead in "The Missionary" opposite Maggie Smith, who also appeared with him in "A Private Function," written by Alan Bennett. In television the decade was memorable "for East of Ipswich," inspired his links with Suffolk. Such was his fame in the US, he was enticed into once again hosting the enormously popular show "Saturday Night Live." He filmed one of the BBC's "Great Railway Journeys" as well as becoming chairman of the pressure group Transport 2000. His life with Helen and the family remains a constant, as the children enter their teens.Palin's joy of writing is evident once more in "Halfway to Hollywood" as he demonstrates his continuing sense of wonder at the world in which he finds himself. A world of screens large and small.

Around the world in 1424 days: the epic voyage behind the making of the book 1000 Families Part travel journal, part scrapbook, this unique book traces the four-year, 250,000-km journey of photographer Uwe Ommer during the making of TASCHEN`s 1000 Families. Called a "family album of planet earth," 1000 Families is a vast collection of portraits taken by Ommer in over 130 countries in all corners of the world. Naturally, a voyage of such epic proportions bears its fair share of anecdotes, adventures, mishaps, and souvenirs, and Transit traces the experience via stories and images. From closed borders and broken bridges to late rainy seasons, curious customs officers, thieves, coups d`etat, raging fevers, and a far from "unbreakable" Land Rover, Ommer found truth in the maxim "just about everything that can go wrong, will." This amusing and original compilation paints a vivid picture of what it`s like to travel to the most remote corners of the globe for four years, meeting countless people and observing the great cultural and social similarities and differences that mark the human race. About the photographer: Uwe Ommer became fascinated with photography at a young age and in 1962 moved to Paris, where he initially worked as a photographer's assistant. Within a few years, he opened his own photography studio, primarily shooting fashion and advertising photos. Quickly gaining respect for his work in Paris, Ommer began showing in local galleries and eventually published his first book, Photoedition Uwe Ommer, in 1979, a collection of personal and advertising works. In the following years, he would publish five more books of his photographs. In 2002, Uwe Ommer was awarded an Honorary Fellowship to the Royal Photographic Society for the impact of his lifetime of work. His other books for TASCHEN include Black Ladies, Asian Ladies, Transit, and 1000 Families. Издание на английском языке.
