Inhaltsangabe
In 1986 Brian Keenan and John McCarthy were forced to take a journey without maps. For the next four years they were incarcerated in a Lebanese dungeon. From the blank outlook of a tiny cell, with only each other and a few volumes of an ancient American encyclopaedia to sustain them, they could only wander the wide open spaces of their imagination. To displace the ugly confines of their existence, they envisaged walking in the High Andes and across the wastes of Patagonia.
Five years after their return Brian and John chose to travel together again to see how the reality of Chile matched their imagination and to revisit their past experiences. They journeyed by every means available through vast empty deserts, verdant plains and barren tundra. Between Extremes is the story of that journey which once more found them far from home, in an unfamiliar landscape, but which for the first time allowed them to live by their own rules.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En 1986, Brian Keenan y John McCarthy se vieron obligados a emprender un viaje sin mapas. Durante los siguientes cuatro años, estuvieron encarcelados en una mazmorra libanesa. Desde la perspectiva en blanco de una pequeña celda, con solo el uno al otro y algunos volúmenes de una antigua enciclopedia estadounidense para sostenerlos, solo podían vagar por los amplios espacios de su imaginación. Para desplazar los confines feos de su existencia, imaginaron caminar en los Altos Andes y a través de los páramos de la Patagonia. Cinco años después de su liberación, Brian y John eligieron viajar juntos nuevamente para ver cómo la realidad de Chile coincidía con su imaginación y para revivir sus experiencias pasadas. Between Extremes es la historia de ese viaje que una vez más los encontró lejos de casa, en un paisaje desconocido, pero que por primera vez les permitió vivir según sus propias reglas.
