About the book

From an interview with Castro's executioner to a poignant meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway, Lewis brings his keen eye and compassionate insight to bear on an extraordinary range of subjects. A farcical trip to the Chocos of Panama sits alongside evocative descriptions of a fishing community in an unspoilt Ibiza, while an extraordinary story of bandits in the highlands of Sardinia reveals his gift for uncovering the human drama behind every landscape. The collection also includes Lewis's famous report on the genocide of South America's Indians—a piece of journalism that demonstrates his unwavering commitment to bearing witness to injustice and giving voice to the voiceless.
