Ein wilder Ritt

"A Wild Ride" tells the fascinating life story of Aimé Felix Tschiffely, a Swiss adventurer who set out in 1925 with two Criollo horses from Buenos Aires to cross the American continent. After three and a half years filled with challenges and experiences, he finally reached Washington and New York, where he was welcomed as a hero. His book "Tschiffely's Ride" became a bestseller and made him famous worldwide. This revised edition of the biography by Benno Affolter, published to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the historic ride, not only offers exciting insights into Tschiffely's adventures but also includes rich visual materials that document his eventful life. A foreword by Prof. Dr. Thomas H. Zurbuchen, astrophysicist and director of the ETH Zurich Space Center, rounds off the work and provides additional scientific context.
