It is time for the July issue of insightful travel, as usual, filled with best travel stories from book authors on the go.
This time you got interesting travel tales from North America, plus two countries that are difficult to place: Egypt and Turkey. They are in the Middle East? Is Turkey in Asia or Europe – or both? Egypt is an African country?
Well, it's the story that counts, and in this case our woman on stage is a witness to a revolution: the overthrow of a longstanding Government with very little bloodshed: notes from a Revolution in Egypt.
Turkey has been a democracy for a long time, so while we may quibble about the principles of the party in power, no revolution needed. Instead, Gloria DeVidas Kirchheimer Ponders what it means to be a Jewish woman who returns to his ancestral home in Turkey, in an ancient land flourishing long before the Muslims came: of Smyrna.
This next story is mine, so I'll skip the exaggeration. The focus of the article deserves the hype but: Las Pozas, Xilitla. The strange name itself should be enough for you to raise an eyebrow, but believe me, this trip is unlike any other: Dreams of Man in stone and concrete.
It is not all, of course. You can check out reviews of interesting new travel books, including the latest from Colin Thubron. Our latest world music reviews run gamut Algerian desert blues-Balkan brass to Palestinian funk.
