Once in a while, a travel book comes along that pushes at the boundaries of the genre. Quondam: Travels in a Once World does exactly that, asking us to reimagine the relevance and potential of travel. In this case, an epic, true-grit expedition by bike through the heart of Africa without the umbilical cord of technology, when being on your own meant exactly that.

A superb observer and storyteller, John Devoy recounts his adventure in an imaginative and captivating style that has won the admiration of Dervla Murphy and Ted Simon, two writers who have left their own indelible marks on the literature of travel.

Difficile de mettre des mots sur des livres qui nous ont vraiment touché.e.s et contre toute attente Quondam intègre maintenant cette petite liste. Je pourrais résumer ma lecture en retraçant l'itinéraire de John ou en énumérant ses rencontres, mais l'essentiel n'a pas été là pour moi.
Les voyages ont la particularité de se comprendre que par ceux qui les entreprennent... Mais dans Quondam, c'est sûr, il y a des mots, des phrases, des moments qui vous interpelleront et vous aideront à comprendre vos voyages passés ou futurs.
