Travel & Adventure

Brooklyn travel writer Douglas Rogers has written a funny, wry, and rousing memoir about returning to his South African homeland to rescue the family farm from imminent danger. “Travelogue, adventure yarn, political intrigue, tragedy, and high-wire journalism, The Last Resort is a love story about the author and his homeland, Zimbabwe. Rogers tries to leave her and doesn’t even want to write about her, but, in the end, her charms are irresistible. He can’t help himself and neither can we,” writes Richard Dooling, author of White Man’s Grave.

Twenty seven weird and extraordinary hotels from around the world, each offering an unforgettable and unusual place to stay, are profiled in this new book. Hotels include the Ice Hotel in Sweden, an actual bed in a tree in South Africa, an aeroplane in New Zealand, a snooze in a suitcase in Germany, and even a night in a stone pineapple in Scotland! A great gift for anyone looking for a unique travel experience.
