It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home
one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor -- acclaimed actor and
self-confessed bike nut -- noticed that it was possible to ride all
the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering
Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn't get
out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called his fellow
actor-slash-biker friend Charley Boorman and told him it was time
to hit the road....
Long Way Round
Beginning in London, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows
through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia;
across the Pacific to Alaska; then down through Canada all the way
to New York. "Long Way Round" is the result of their four-month,
20,000-mile joyride. Featuring original diary entries, travel maps,
mileage charts, and dozens of photographs, this is a freewheeling,
fully charged, and uproariously entertaining book about two
world-famous individuals who chose the road not taken...and made
the journey worthwhile.
