Biography detailing motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman's recovery from a major road traffic accident in February 2016.

In this highly entertaining book, fellow film actors and bike enthusiasts Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman travel 20,000 miles around the world by motorbike. They will encounter many troublesome situations on the way, ranging from extreme and threatening weather to impenetrable terrain, and will face challenges such as caviar fishing in the Caspian sea, wrestling with the Mongolian Olympic team and riding with the Canadian Mounties. Whilst throwing themselves enthusiastically into the culture of each new country - from Alaska to Mongolia, from Canada to Kazakhstan - the two friends will also have to rely on each other's good humour, as the journey tests their relationship and their stamina to the limits. Long Way Round is the action-packed account of the trip and a true portrait of friendship in extremis - as irreverent, engaging and articulate as Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman themselves.

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 RoundBeginning 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.

After chasing their shadows across the world, journeying east from London to New York, actors (and bike fanatics) Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn't shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF visit to Africa, they realised their new destination could be nowhere else.

Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman travel down through Africa in a gripping and wildly entertaining new biking adventure. Visiting UNICEF projects on the African continent along their way, they come face-to-face with spectacular but unforgiving terrain, with rich cultures.

Cestovatelská touha dvou dobrodruhů, Ewana McGregora a Chaleyho Boormana, po jejich senzační cestě kolem světa v roce 2004 neutuchla.

Při jízdě velkolepou krajinou, často v extrémních teplotách, čelili Ewan a Charley nejtěžším zkouškám svého života. Se svým příznačným humorem popisují dramata, nebezpečí a ryzí potěšení z další společné jízdy, tentokrát skrze kontinent plný divů a zázraků.
