Reisen mit mir und einem Anderen

The great author and reporter Martha Gellhorn was addicted to travel throughout her life. In "Traveling with Me and Another," she recounts her five hellish journeys to China and Africa, the Caribbean, Russia, and Israel, all of which go thoroughly awry. As soon as she persuades her so-called unwilling companion (her then-husband Ernest Hemingway) to travel with her to China, where he has no desire to go, the trip turns into an absolute nightmare: everything that can go wrong does go wrong. But it doesn't matter; Martha Gellhorn writes about it like no one else—sharp-tongued, witty, and self-ironic.
