Omschrijving

Adventurer Lois Pryce ignores all warnings and embarks on a 3,000- mile journey across Iran by motorcycle (a country where Iranian women aren't allowed to ride motorbikes), discovering what real life is like for people there today

Funny, insightful and eye-opening, this adventure breaks down misconceptions and reveals a country of wonder and warmth.

A warm, funny account of a road trip in contemporary Iran. It's had my whole family howling with laughter and shedding a few tears.

Within a few pages I'd recognised a kindred spirit. Tourist-free solo travelling, lo-fi equipment including real maps instead of gadgets, a satisfying blend of action, thought and feeling, well-timed references to or quotes from one of my own heroines since I was a teenager. That central theme - the distinction between government and people - is not easy to maintain but it seemed to me Lois hit the right note every time.

This is a proper travelogue - a joyful, moving and stereotype-busting tale.

An excellent, fascinating read.

Pryce writes as she acts, with an easy ebullience, and this makes interesting things happen to her. Revolutionary Ride is likeable because she admits her ignorance and follows her nose.

If you still need to know why the motorcycle is a magical device for revealing the truth about this wonderful, endangered world, read Lois Pryce's sometimes frightening, sometimes hilarious, always warm-hearted testament. That will do it for you. Thank you Lois, so much.

Lois Pryce writes with all the exuberance and verve with which she dons her helmet and takes to the road.

A thrilling blend of action and perception, a gripping yarn that lifts the veil on one of the world's most misunderstood countries.

Lois Pryce's motorbike takes her into corners of modern Iranian life that are full of the unexpected.

The story of an epic journey that takes the myths and unravels them first hand.

Long before the relaunch of BA's Tehran flights signalled a thumbsup to travel, Lois Pryce was gadding about the country on a motorbike.

Lois Pryce is a journalist and speaker and has written for the Telegraph, Independent, New York Times, CNN and the Guardian and is a contributing editor for Overland Journal. She was named by the Telegraph as one of the 10 Great Female Travellers and is the author of two other bestselling books about her adventures by motorcycle.
