396 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 4h57min.
Entre analyses pertinentes et bouffées délirantes, cet essai décrypte l'univers du voyage dans un monde à l'arrêt. L'auteur, anthropologue autonomade, se promène entre l'ailleurs et l'ici, abordant les sujets les plus sérieux et les plus futiles. Il partage ses pensées buissonnières autour de nos trips qui ne passent plus et autres nomadismes contrariés. Ouvrage de chroniques sur les tourismes en voie de mutation ou de disparition, on y porte également un regard acéré sur notre planète dévastée mais à la merci du capitalisme. L'auteur entend balayer devant sa porte mais aussi jusque dans les moindres recoins du monde pour débusquer les inepties du tourisme contemporain, les incohérences des voyages dans toutes ses variantes.

Sous la direction littéraire de Mélissa Verreault, avec la collaboration de Kévin Lavoie et Juliana Léveillé-Trudel Défier la routine, confronter ses peurs, rencontrer l’âme sœur, donner un sens à sa vie, célébrer la fin d’une époque ou le début d’une autre, dépenser l’argent qu’on n’a pas, oublier ses ratages et fuir ses déceptions : voilà autant de raisons d’enfiler son sac à dos et de partir à l’autre bout de la planète pour voir si on y est. Mais s’il y a une leçon à retirer des quatorze récits de voyage que renferme Avec pas une cenne, c’est que peu importe ce qu’on cherchait en partant à l’étranger, on risque de ne jamais le trouver, car rares sont les périples où tout se déroule comme prévu – surtout quand on est obligé de dormir dans des lieux louches, faute d’un budget adéquat pour se payer une chambre d’hôtel qui a de l’allure. Et la deuxième leçon pourrait être celle-ci : « Tant qu’à trébucher, aussi bien le faire avec panache. » Kadidja Haïdara Juliana Léveillé-Trudel Paul Kawczak Kévin Lavoie Jean Désy Jean-François Provençal Carmel-Antoine Bessard Rodolphe Lasnes Olivier Sylvestre Erika Soucy Vincent Brault Véronique Grenier Mélissa Verreault Catherine Ethier[Elle] entre dans notre zone sinistrée et en ressort presque immédiatement avec le visage le plus désemparé que j’ai jamais vu. La pauvre traîne ses petits pieds d’adolescente-qui-voulait-juste-un-job-d’été-relax jusqu’à la réception, d’où elle revient, avec le même pas lourd, un débouche-toilette à la main. Étrangement, la scène nous galvanise. C’est presque fini ; il nous suffit de patienter encore quelques minutes et notre enfant sera nourri. Or, les minutes passent et Ado Amorphe ne donne aucun signe de vie. Quand elle émerge, c’est pour retourner à la réception et en revenir accompagnée du jardinier du motel, qui brandit un fisher de calibre industriel. Il entre alors dans la chambre numéro 3 avec l’intense détermination que les hommes affichent quand ils ont l’impression de secourir une pauvre dame en détresse. Il en ressort une demi-heure plus tard avec l’amer orgueil que les hommes affichent quand ils ont l’impression de ne pas avoir été à la hauteur.

146 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h49min.
A celebration of Scottish life and spirited endorsement of the unexpected discoveries to be made through good travel and good literature.Whisky, Kilts, and the Loch Ness Monster is a memoir of a twenty-first-century literary pilgrimage to retrace the famous eighteenth-century Scottish journey of James Boswell and Samuel Johnson, two of the most celebrated writers of their day. An accomplished journalist and aficionado of fine literature, William W. Starr enlivens this crisply written travelogue with a playful wit, an enthusiasm for all things Scottish, the boon and burden of American sensibility, and an ardent appreciation for Boswell and Johnson—who make frequent cameos throughout these ramblings.In 1773 the sixty-three-year-old Johnson was England's preeminent man of letters, and Boswell, some thirty years Johnson's junior, was on the cusp of achieving his own literary celebrity. For more than one hundred days, the distinguished duo toured what was then largely unknown Scottish terrain, later publishing their impressions of the trip in a pair of classic journals. In 2007 Starr embarked on a three-thousand-mile trek through the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands, following the path—though in reverse—of Boswell and Johnson. Starr tracked their route as closely as the threat of storms, distractions of pubs, and limitations of time would allow. Like his literary forebears, he recorded a wealth of keen observations on his encounters with places and people, lochs and lore, castles and clans, fables and foibles. Starr couples his contemporary commentary with passages from Boswell's and Johnson's published accounts, letters, and diaries to weave together a cohesive travel guide to the Scotland of yore and today, comparing reflections from two centuries ago to his own modern-day perspectives. The tour begins and ends in Edinburgh and includes along the way visits to Glasgow, Inverness, Loch Ness, Culloden, Auchinleck, the Isles of Iona and Skye, and many more destinations. In addition Starr expands his course to include two of the farthest reaches of Scotland where eighteenth-century travelers dared not tread: the Outer Hebrides and the Orkney Islands, remarkable regions shaped by distinctive weather, history, and isolation.Blending biography, intellectual and cultural history, and comic asides into his travelogue, Starr crafts an inviting vantage point from which to view aspects of Scotland's storied past and complex present through an illuminating literary lens. The well-read globetrotter and the armchair adventurer will each benefit from this compendium of fascinating revelations about Scotland's colorful, volatile heritage; its embrace of myth and legends; its flirtations with both tradition and commercialization; and its legacy as more than a source of single malts, bagpipes, and kilted genealogies.

111 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h23min.
A traveloque of meanderings of feet and mind through the streets of the Scottish capitalPart travelogue, part psychological self-study, Sam Pickering's Edinburgh Days, or Doing What I Want to Do is an open invitation to be led on a walking tour of Scotland's capital as well as through the labyrinth of the guide's swerving moods and memories. Along the way readers discern as much from Pickering's sensual observations of Scottish lives and landmarks as they do about what befalls the curious mind of an intellectual removed from the relations and responsibilities that otherwise delineate his days.Pickering spent the winter and spring of 2004 on a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh, making his return to the city after a forty-year absence. Edinburgh Days maps the transition from his life in Connecticut, defined by family, academic appointments, and the recognition of neighbors and avid acolytes, to a temporary existence on foreign soil that is at once unsettlingly isolating and curiously liberating.Torn between labeling himself a tourist or a sojourner, Pickering opts to define himself as an "urban spelunker" and embarks on daily explorations of the city's museums, bookshops, pubs, antique stores, monuments, neighborhoods, and graveyards. His ambling tours include such recognizable sites as Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Castle Rock, the Museum of Childhood, the National Gallery, the Writers' Museum, the Museum of the People, the Huntly House, the John Knox House, the Royal Botanic Garden, and the Edinburgh Zoo.The holdings of city and university libraries present Pickering with the opportunity to revisit the works of a host of writers, both renowned and obscure, including Robert Louis Stevenson, Samuel Smiles, John Buchan, Tobias Wolfe, Russell Hoban, Patrick White, Hilaire Belloc, and Van Wyck Brooks."I have long been a traveler in little things," he muses, and it is his fascination with minutiae that infuses this collection of essays with the dynamic descriptions, quirky observations, and jesting interludes that bring the historic city to life on the page and simultaneously recall the very best of Pickering's idiosyncratic style.

131 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h38min.
Sojourner in Islamic Lands takes us on a journey from Kazakhstan in the far north of Central Asia, across the mountains to the former Soviet Union, then south to Iran just below the Caspian Sea. Russell Fraser follows the ancient Silk Road wherever possible. For centuries the Silk Road was the primary commercial link between Europe and Asia, with much of it over desert sands and accessible only by camel. Building on history and personal experience, Fraser's narrative describes this vast territory with an eye to geography, artistic culture, and religion over more than two thousand years.The book that he gives us depends first of all on travel, but the author's eye is on an interior landscape, and he focuses on the influence of religious ideology on the cultural landscape of Central Asia. Delving deeply into art and architecture, he takes them to be Islam's most significant creative expressions. Although Islam is currently the predominant religion in the region, the book also examines the two other belief systems with modern-day followers—Christianity and an antireligious sect Fraser calls secular progressivism.His aim is to present Islam to Western readers by describing its achievements during the High Middle Ages and comparing and contrasting them with those of modern Islam. The book offers insights into the history of a major world religion through the eyes of a well-known literary scholar on a journey through exotic parts of the world. He steeps us in the latter, inviting the reader to share the journey with him and participate in the sensations it gives rise to.

Veteran journalist and southern storyteller Tom Poland has been writing about the disappearing rural South for nearly four decades. With a companionable appreciation for nostalgia, preservation, humor, and wonder, Georgialina: A Southland as We Knew It brings to life once more the fading and often-forgotten unfiltered character of the South as Poland takes readers down back roads to old homeplaces, covered bridges, and country stores. He recalls hunting for snipes and for lost Confederate gold; the joys of beach music, the shag, and cruising Ocean Drive; and the fading traditions of sweeping yards with homemade brooms, funeral processions, calling catfish, and other customs of southern heritage and history. Peppered with candid memoir, Georgialina also introduces readers to a host of quirky and memorable characters who have populated the southland of Poland's meanderings.As commercialization, homogenization, and relocation have slowly altered distinctive regions of the country, making all places increasingly similar, southern traditions have proven to be more resilient than most. But Poland notes that many elements that once defined day-to-day life in the South are now completely foreign to contemporary generations. Set primarily in Poland's native Georgia and adopted home of South Carolina, his tales of bygone times resonate across a recognizably southern landscape and faithfully recall the regional history and lore that have defined the South for generations as a place uniquely its own for natives, newcomers, and visitors.

Coincée entre la Chine et le Japon, la Corée du Sud a longtemps été un dragon asiatique oublié. Mais voilà, les succès économiques (Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc.) et culturels (Gangnam Style, Kim Ki-duk, etc) ont remis sur la carte de la mondialisation la 15e économie du monde. Des dizaines de milliers de jeunes occidentaux y viennent désormais chaque année y tenter une autre vie. Vivre la Corée passe à la moulinette la société coréenne par les questions de tous les jours. Comment on conduit, comment on loue un appartement, comment on s’aime, etc. Chaque question permet de comprendre le pays et sa culture. Vivre la Corée est ainsi à la fois un guide pratique, qui permet de bien préparer son projet de vie à l’étranger, mais aussi un recueil d’expériences et de choses vues qui permet de comprendre l’un des pays les plus étonnants du monde. Il s'agit de la deuxième édition du guide. Elle a été entièrement mise à jour et enrichie de 150 pages début 2014. Vivre le monde est ainsi la première collection qui s’adresse au désir grandissant des Français et des Européens de vivre à l’étranger.

Un ami dans le coma, un secret, un voyage... RÉSUMÉ À 18 ans, Kanyin vient de terminer son lycée avec brio et ne tient plus en place à l’idée d’entrer enfin à l’université. Toutefois, lorsque sa mère lui annonce qu’elle doit passer ses vacances au Bénin, auprès de son père, sa bonne humeur s’évapore. Ce dernier étant constamment accaparé par son métier de chirurgien, la jeune fille s’attend à deux mois d’ennui et de solitude. Elle ne prévoyait certainement pas retrouver un vieil ami d’enfance dans une situation plus qu’inattendue : dans le coma. Et elle s’attendait encore moins à ce qu’en le touchant, elle se retrouve projetée dans un endroit des plus étranges...

Les SIG, systèmes d'information permettant d'assurer l'acquisition, la gestion, l'analyse, la mise à jour et la diffusion des données géoréférencées, sont devenus les bases incontournables de la gestion territoriale. A travers des études de cas menées en France et au Québec, l'auteur nous montre que les SIG sont de véritables constructions sociales dont le processus de développement est conditionné par le contexte organisationnel, géographique et culturel.

Notre héros est appelé à de nouvelles responsabilités au Ruanda, territoire sous tutelle. Retrouvera-t-il la paix au cur tandis qu'il poursuit son parcours professionnel en butte à une évolution politique qui le fit douter de sa mission et dont il ne voit pas le bénéfice à terme pour l'avenir de l'Afrique.

Dans cette chronique vagabonde de l'Egypte d'aujourd'hui, Patrick Longueville et Hervé Piquet portent un regard différent, forcément subjectif et même clairement engagé, sur une Egypte encore méconnue. S'aventurant dans les arrière-cours ou poussant des portes dérobées, ils ont voulu faire entendre la voix de ceux qui, d'habitude, se taisent ou que l'on n'écoute pas. Et d'abord celle des femmes égyptiennes : paroles surprenantes et inoubliables de femmes de tous âges et de toute condition, les unes voilées et les autres non.

Ce livre est à la fois le récit déconstruit de sa vie innombrable. Car cet homme fut, entre autres, chasseur de jaguars, chercheur d'or, restaurateur, transporteur aérien, guide d'aventure extrême, colon, planteur de vanille et de café, commerçant et patron. Mais surtout, il fut écrivain. Ce texte raconte aussi le rêve obstiné d'un fou poète à cheval entre l'Europe et l'Amérique, l'Altiplano et l'Amazone, le business et le cosmos.

A la fin des années 80, la manne touristique apparaît comme une aubaine pour la région la plus pauvre de Chine. Dans les villages on s'habitue peu à peu à ces visites éclairs, à ces appareils inquisiteurs. A la spontanéité des débuts fait place une gestion plus réfléchie de l'autre. Témoin privilégié de l'évolution d'une province rurale, l'auteur nous pose des questions quant à la justesse de ces échanges. Sinisation, modernité, tourisme, autant de facteurs qui jalonnent une transition du Guizhou vers un devenir incertain, pour le meilleur et pour le pire.
