Adventure Writing

Tales of Tahitian Waters describes Grey's fishing expeditions to the Tahitian Islands during 1928, 1929, and 1930, in which he claims to be the first big-game fisherman to fish these waters. He came to the area after having passed nearby on other fishing trips. Hearing accounts of there being marlin that were 30 feet long and sharks that measured 50 feet in length, he became determined to pursue these fish and add to his many fishing records. It was here where he describes catching a marlin weighing 1,040 pounds. The catch was recorded as the first 1,000-pound fish ever caught.

When not writing his famous Western novels, Zane Grey was an insatiable angler. Tales of Southern Rivers recounts his tales of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, and on remote rivers in the jungles of Mexico. With many of these venues being some of today's most popular saltwater fly-fishing destinations, no one will want to miss these highly entertaining and informative stories. Armchair fishing will never be the same.

He meets a people defined by extraordinary generosity, willing to shift heaven and earth to keep him on the road.

If you're traveling the world - or if you just want to travel the world from your armchair - this audiobook will enlighten and amuse you. It could add a few unusual stops to your itinerary, as well. We suggest some intriguing natural sights, such as the perfectly conical Chocolate Hills, Indian pilgrimage mountains topped by temples, whole forests of identikit crooked trees, and volcanoes inside volcanoes. Perhaps festivals are more to your taste. Would you prefer the anarchic creativity of Burning Man, a Japanese cry-baby competition, or a massive food fight?

Manhattan. The French Coast. Spain. Tenerife. Amsterdam. Calais. Edinburgh. Scotland. Wales. The Cities, Towns and Rural Heritage of England. For this collection I traveled further and explored deeper than ever before. I always see my poetry like glimpses into moments of time, rather like seeds trapped in amber, windows offering a view into past events and the places I visited. I appreciate I am a fortunate person. I love to travel and I adore writing poems. Happily, I am able to combine the two in many of my poetry books.

"Fabio Pasinetti ed io, nel novembre 2008, abbiamo attraversato a piedi, in totale autonomia, il deserto bianco egiziano, per un percorso di 250 chilometri che abbiamo coperto in due settimane. Temperature estreme, dune altissime, infide pietraie non ci hanno sconfitto. Provati, ma con una gioia immensa, abbiamo tagliato il traguardo. Per me la settima impresa nel deserto, per Fabio, che è non vedente, la dimostrazione di potercela fare. Per entrambi l'avverarsi di un sogno condiviso.

In The Mindful Traveler, he helps the listener structure journal writing - and the journey - around eight Buddhist archetypes that offer specific skills for problem solving and spiritual progress.
