Writer and author Harold Stephens takes the road less traveled in exotic foreign lands. He is one person who has lived his dream of exploring the world`s most remote corners -- in search of adventure for adventure`s sake, experiencing life on his own terms, and writing about it. This wonderful writer shares his exciting experiences with his readers in more than two-dozen travel and adventure books, novels, biographies and in other media as television and video scripts. This includes an historical 10-hour TV script on King Narai of Siam.

A dedicated writer of thousands of travel articles as well as an explorer and adventurer, Harold Stephens traveled deep into Bhutan, motored across Tibet, and followed along the Great Wall of China in a Jeep, and rafted down the Amazon. He trained with a Sir Edmund Hillary team in New Zealand and climbed the Matterhorn in Switzerland and Popocatapetl in Mexico.

In the mid-sixties, Stephens motored around the world by Jeep for a record-breaking 42,252 miles, through monsoon rains and across blazing deserts, over nearly impassable roads through hostile countries with hostile and sometimes uncivilized people, facing untold dangers, disease and hunger. Along the way, he met some very remarkable people and found romance and love in the strangest places.
In this book we can find the description of a group of interesting characters, who have in common that they found their own realization, in the 50s and 60s, in places far from their native country, mostly in Southeast Asia. We can find the story of Jim Thompson, who sold Thai silk all over the world. One of the characters is a Russian who in the 1950s ran a hotel in Kathmandu with his Swedish wife: these two characters were inserted, fictionalized, in The mountain is young by Han Suyin. Then there are: a false-Moroccan belly dancer (actually from California), with whom the author had a love affair; a Bali painter; an American sumo wrestler, etc. The stories are really intriguing and there is a set of photos.

There are many references to the lost worlds of Conrad, Kipling, Somerset Maugham: the author realizes that the world he describes is dissolving.

There also exists a new edition of this book, accompanied by a part where the author tells what happened next to these characters, I would like to read it.
Reprinted in 2003 with the title `The Strange Disappearance of Jim Thompson`:

L_I_Č_N_O______P_R_E_U_Z_I_M_A_NJ_E_:
Za kupovine ukupne vrednosti preko 2.000 dinara moguće lično preuzimanje u Cara Dušana u Novom Sadu. Ako je za pojedinačnu knjigu navedena samo opcija Pošta, lično preuzimanje samo te knjige nije moguće. U Novom Sadu moguća je lična dostava i plaćanje preko službe Eko-kurir (cena je 250-300 din).

STANJE KNJIGE:
Knjiga koju dobijate je ona koja je na slici. Ukoliko nije naznačeno da je knjiga nova ili nekorišćena, ponekad se desi da na predlistu stoji potpis, posveta ili pečat i da to nije navedeno u opisu. Ako vam takve stvari smetaju, pitajte me pre kupovine da proverim.

KOMUNIKACIJA:
Komunikacija ide isključivo preko Kupindo poruka, ne telefonom. Budite normalni.

POPUSTI, CENKANJE I SL.:
Cena je ta koja piše, molim vas da mi ne šaljete pitanja o poslednjoj i zadnjoj ceni niti svoje kontraponude.

SLANJE:
Knjige šaljem kao tiskovinu ili CC paket nakon uplate na račun. Pakujem ih bezbedno i pažljivo, dobijate ih u stanju u kojem su poslate. Poštarina za jednu pošiljku obično iznosi od 190 do 260 din, u zavisnosti od težine. To je poštarina za tiskovinu, CC paket je skuplji, post ekspres je najskuplji. Za četiri i više pojedinačno kupljenih knjiga (u to ne spadaju kompleti) ja snosim troškove poštarine. Potrebno je da uplatite/preuzmete knjigu u propisanom roku od 7 dana.

SUSEDNE ZEMLJE I INOSTRANSTVO:
Poštarina je za jednu knjigu visoka i okvirno se kreće od 10-15 eur za prvu i oko 7 eura za svaku dodatnu knjigu. Postoji mogućnost znatno isplativijeg slanja za teže pakete. Uplate PayPalom (+10%), direktno na devizni račun, Western Union ili Moneygram. Najbolje je da pre kupovine pitate koliki su troškovi dostave, jer su često veći od cene same knjige.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
I will send abroad. For your calculation, one hundred dinars roughly equals $1. Please register here:
