Paul Richardson's mission - 'to sieve out the ancient, perverse and eccentric from the new, nice and normal' - took him from coastal plain to mountainous peak. It also took him, often, by surprise. From ritual pig killings to wood-chopping competitions, from an alchemist who eats stone, to pilgrimages in the name of obscure Virgins, his journey into deep Spain is captivating, often hilarious, sometimes surprising - and always highly illuminating. 'Richardson writes vividly about some of the wilder characters he meets ... read OUR LADY OF THE SEWERS if you want a glimpse of the surviving truth behind tour-operator cliches, and for a view of Spain that is becoming ever harder to find' SUNDAY TIMES 'Puckish, witty, casually erudite . delivers acute and sharply observed portraits of both people and places' TLS

Dieses Buch zeigt eine Welt, in der geografische Fakten nicht immer das sind, was sie zu sein scheinen: Wie viele Kontinente gibt es eigentlich – und welche? Wie definieren sich Nationen – und wo verlaufen ihre Grenzen? Warum halten sich viele Kulturen für das Zentrum der Welt? Paul Richardson führt uns zu bemerkenswerten Orten: zu Islands Thingvellir-Nationalpark, wo man zwischen zwei Kontinenten schwimmen kann, und zu Bir Tawil in Nordafrika, einem der wenigen Gebiete der Welt, das von keinem Land beansprucht wird. Wir folgen dem ersten Zug, der quer durch Eurasien von Yiwu in Ostchina nach Barking in Ostlondon fuhr, und erklimmen die US-mexikanische Grenzmauer, um herauszufinden, warum solche Befestigungen nicht funktionieren. »Mythen der Geografie ist aufschlussreich, unterhaltsam und zwingt uns dazu, anders zu denken. Es ist eine dringend benötigte Neuerforschung der Realitäten der Welt, in der wir leben. « Dipo Faloyin, Autor von Afrika ist kein Land »Paul Richardsons Buch stellt die politische Geografie ins Zentrum unseres Verständnisses der Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Ein erfrischendes und wichtiges Buch.« Jerry Brotton, Autor von Weltkarten »Herausragend. Verändert bereits im ersten Kapitel völlig, wie Sie die Welt sehen, und dann noch sieben weitere Male. Sie werden nie wieder eine Karte auf die gleiche Weise betrachten.« Jonn Elledge, Autor von A History of the World in 47 Borders
