Item description from seller

Neuware - 'Warm, funny . . . It's had my whole family howling with laughter and shedding a few tears' - Shappi Khorsandi, Guardian'A proper travelogue - a joyful, moving and stereotype-busting tale' - National Geographic Traveller, Books of the YearIn 2011, at the height of tension between the British and Iranian governments, travel writer Lois Pryce found a note left on her motorcycle outside the Iranian Embassy in London. I wish that you will visit Iran so you will see for yourself about my country. WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS!!! Please come to my city, Shiraz. It is very famous as the friendliest city in Iran, it is the city of poetry and gardens and wine!!!Your Persian friend,HabibIntrigued, Lois decides to ignore the official warnings against travel (and the warnings of her friends and family) and sets off alone on a 3,000 mile ride from Tabriz to Shiraz, to try to uncover the heart of this most complex and incongruous country. Along the way, she meets carpet sellers and drug addicts, war veterans and housewives, doctors and teachers - people living ordinary lives under the rule of an extraordinarily strict Islamic government.Revolutionary Ride is the story of a people and a country. Religious and hedonistic, practical and poetic, modern and rooted in tradition - and with a wild sense of humour and appreciation of beauty despite the comparative lack of freedom - this is real contemporary Iran.\*Shortlisted for the Adventure Travel Book of the Year Award\*'Within a few pages I'd recognised a kindred spirit' - Dervla Murphy, author of Full Tilt; Eine Frau, ein Motorrad und die wagemutigste Reise ihres LebensEines Tages entdeckt Lois Pryce in London einen Zettel an ihrem weitgereisten Motorrad: Eine persönliche Einladung in den Iran, ausgesprochen von einem Fremden namens Habib. Die Neugierde der Abenteurerin ist geweckt. Dass Frauen im Iran offiziell gar kein Motorrad fahren dürfen . und alle Bekannten ihr dringend davon abraten . geschenkt! Ihre ebenso mutige wie überraschende Reise in den echten Iran kann beginnen: 5000 Kilometer mit Helm und Hidschab - und zahllosen unvergesslichen Begegnungen.
