{"product_id":"detours-salil-tripathi-9789385152924","title":"Detours: Songs of the Open Road","description":"When Salil Tripathi began writing a travel column for a well known newspaper, he consciously decided to veer off the beaten track and not showcase the food and drink or the fabulous hotels and world class restaurants of a country. Instead, it was his insights into a place that defined a country and its people when viewed from the prism of history, culture and literature. Culled from his extensive travel writings, Detours: Songs of the Open Road is split into three parts, the first section called, War \u0026amp; After is a riveting account of places that were shattered due to terrible wars or human rights violations; the second titled, Words \u0026amp; Images, about places he visualised better because certain writers or artists made those places fascinating; and the third called Loss \u0026amp; Remembrance, is a wonderful personal journey about countries he visited with his wife who died in 2006 and which he later revisited with his sons as remembrance to a beloved. Detours: Songs of the Open Road is a remarkable travel diary of a man who holds your hand and takes you through fascinating journeys which you make your own by the end of his travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salil Tripathi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9385152920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789385152924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tranquebar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.79d","brand":"Salil Tripathi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079631237375,"sku":"9789385152924","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fdb8c0f-e61f-4372-ae90-380c8e794336.jpg?v=1685482246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/detours-salil-tripathi-9789385152924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
