How to Travel without Seeing: Dispatches from the New Latin America
Author: Andrés Neuman
Publisher: Restless Books
ISBN: 163206068X
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
A kaleidoscopic, fast-paced tour of Latin America from one of the Spanish-speaking world’s most outstanding writers. Lamenting not having more time to get to know each of the nineteen countries he visits after winning the prestigious Premio Alfaguara, Andrés Neuman begins to suspect that world travel consists mostly of “not seeing.” But then he realizes that the fleeting nature of his trip provides him with a unique opportunity: touring and comparing every country of Latin America in a single stroke. Neuman writes on the move, generating a kinetic work that is at once puckish and poetic, aphoristic and brimming with curiosity. Even so-called non-places—airports, hotels, taxis—are turned into powerful symbols full of meaning. A dual Argentine-Spanish citizen, he incisively explores cultural identity and nationality, immigration and globalization, history and language, and turbulent current events. Above all, Neuman investigates the artistic lifeblood of Latin America, tackling with gusto not only literary heavyweights such as Bolaño, Vargas Llosa, Lorca, and Galeano, but also an emerging generation of authors and filmmakers whose impact is now making ripples worldwide. Eye-opening and charmingly offbeat, How to Travel without Seeing: Dispatches from the New Latin America is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of the Americas.

Pages : 750
Book Description
Excerpt from Commercial Travelers Guide, to Latin America: Revised Edition The need for a guide for commercial travelers to Latin America has long been felt. In this volume an effort has been made to supply practical, concrete facts and information which will be useful to business men in planning trips to the territory south of the United States. It should be borne in mind that this is not a handbook. Many phases of commerce and industry which would obviously require treatment in a handbook can only be touched upon in a guide. It is deemed necessary to make this explanation for the benefit of those who might otherwise expect a more extended treatment of certain subjects merely referred to in this publication. The bulk of the information herein supplied has been obtained at first hand. Not only is it based on the actual experience of numerous travelers, but the latest and most reliable Government and other authorities have been consulted. There is included only such information as will be of definite value to those who seek trade relations with the regions that are treated. No efforts have been spared to verify all the statistics and figures of every sort that are quoted. It should be remembered, however, that conditions are changing rapidly; hence, allowance must necessarily be made for discrepancies which may be discovered in the actual use of the guide. Furthermore, it is to be expected that the coming of peace will materially influence the conditions of travel, sailings, time tables, etc. As the Bureau contemplates issuing from time to time revised editions of this guide it will welcome suggestions for the improvement of the book, for additions or changes which may add to its usefulness, and for corrections which will insure its accuracy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
