Long Way Round: The Illustrated Edition Chasing Shadows Across the World ハードカバー – 2006/2/28
英語版
Ewan McGregor
(著),
Charley Boorman
(著)
Poring over a map one day, Ewan McGregorfilm star and bike nutnoticed it was possible to ride all the way around the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait. So he called Charley Boorman, his best friend, fellow actor, and bike nut. From London to New York, Ewan and Charley rode their BMWs through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. Exhaustion, injury, and accidents tested their strength, as did treacherous roads and weather. They were pursued by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with guns in the Ukraine, and served bulls' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. Yet despite the many obstacles, they managed to ride over 20,000 miles in four months. As they traveled, they documented their trip, taking photos and writing diaries.

レビュー
Both McGregor and Boorman prove themselves to be engaging, articulate and entertaining narrators ... a highly readable and spiritually uplifting book about a dream come true ― WANDERLUST
Touching and memorable ... one for armchair travellers and bike freaks ― DAILY MAIL
Long Way Round is the tale of a remarkable journey taken (on motorbike) by two men. The fact that those men are figures with notable film connections (Ewan McGregor is one of Britain's most successful actors, Charley Boorman is the son of the celebrated director John Boorman) may be the reason the book got written - and the accompanying television series got made - but so what? This epic trip is conveyed with real élan by its two authors, and there are arguments for preferring the written word over the image: while the latter may convey the exhilaration of the journey more directly, the book is infinitely more subtle in presenting the mindset of its two (often-beleaguered) travellers. Their co-writer Robert Uhlig has cannily conveyed the similar (but at the same time, very different) personalities of the two men, and it's one of the pleasures of the book. McGregor, for whom motorbikes are as important as his acting career, was gazing at a map of the world when it occurred to him that it was possible to ride by bike all the way round the world (with just a smidgen of cheating around the Bering Strait), and he suggested over a meal with best friend and fellow thesp Charley Boorman, that the pair might chase their shadows from London to New York, across the Pacific to Alaska and other far-flung parts. ― Needless to say, catastrophe matches the adventure at every turn, and encounters with gun-toting Ukrainians, Mongolian Nomads and (most dangerous of all) ruthless paparazzi add to the stress levels. But the 20,000 miles covered by the pair, however arduou
Barry Forshaw, AMAZON.CO.UK ― 'It's like Michael Palin but with added sex appeal.’

学生時代から英語は嫌い&成績も悪かった私ですが、
元々映画や洋楽ファンだったので、時々英語の勉強をしたくなります。
自分の語彙力の乏しさ、同じ単語を何度も調べてしまう記憶力の悪さには、
我ながら腹を立てたりウンザリしますが、大枠をつかめば何とか・・・。
イギリスならではの表現(単語)に感心したり、
富も名声も手にしたように見える俳優の人間くさい一面が垣間見えたり。
さらに、「あの映画撮影時、私生活でこんなことがあったのか」
というような記述もあり、彼らの映画作品を見たことがある人なら
なかなか楽しめる本だと思います。
英文にウンザリしたときは、挿入されている写真を見て気を紛らわせ、
読破というゴールを目指しています。

A great follow up to watching the show. I loved all 3 of their trips. Have watched them twice and read the books. They are great for filling in the spaces after watching the show. I hope they have a follow up book to their 2019 trip
