A foreign correspondent walks out of his office at the New York Times and heads uptown -- for four hundred miles by foot. A fascinating journey with lots of adventures by a keen-eyed and honest man. You'll want to go with him., Evan Thomas author of John Paul Jones: Sailor, Hero, Father of the American Navy. A foreign correspondent walks out of his office at the New York Times and heads uptown -- for four hundred miles by foot. A fascinating journey with lots of adventures by a keen-eyed and honest man. You'll want to go with him., David Breashears co-director and leader of the Everest IMAX Filming Expedition. Wren looks at everything with the eyes and ears of an intrepid reporter and a man of great integrity and disarming humor. He describes the beauty of the home countryside he traverses and introduces us to a variety of colorful characters. Most poignant are the moments on the trail when he is reminded of a powerful, dangerous, or comical moment in one of the many far-flung places he went as a foreign correspondent., Roger Rosenblatt. Where Christopher Wren walks is always an exotic country, even when the terrain is the Bronx, Westchester, and Vermont. He brings a first-class foreign correspondent's eye and meditative memory to the familiar, which becomes wonderfully strange. Best of all, he brings his love of adventure to the adventure of his life. What great luck that he asked us along.--------We combine S&H. Just ask.
