Travels

Michael Crichton

Fuelled by a powerful curiosity and the need to see, feel and hear firsthand and close-up, Michael Crichton experienced adventures as compelling as those he created in his books and films. When Crichton -- a Harvard-trained physician, bestselling novelist and sucessful movie director - began to feel isolated in his own life, he decided to widen his horizons. He tracked wild animals in the jungles of Rwanda. He climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mayan pyramids. He trekked across a landslide in Pakistan. He swam amid sharks in Tahiti. This is a record of those travels - an exhilarating quest across the familiar and exotic frontiers of the outer world, a determined odyssey into the unfathomable, spiritual depths of the inner world. It is an adventure of risk and rejuvenation, terror and wonder, as exciting as his many works of fiction
