Wild Roads

Autor Savkar Altinel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2026
During a winter visit to Helsinki, a writer and inveterate traveller reflects on his recent journeys through the Far East and muses on the nature of travel itself. As his memories take him from country to country, his awareness deepens of both the unsettling rootlessness that lies behind his wanderlust, and the hurt and pain in the lives of most of the individuals he encounters along the way. Meanwhile, in the background, the Finnish winter gives way to Malaysia's sweltering heat, fading quietly into Hong Kong's crisp, Korea's biting winds and the grey rains of Shanghai, until the snowfall in Tokyo takes the narrator back to the winter of Helsinki. Here, in a final chapter set in an imaginary museum devoted to his journeys, he finally confronts all of what his ceaseless travelling has been designed to help him evade. Wild Roads is both a chronicle of journeys rendered with a strange blend of detachment and stark lyricism, and highly structured narrative that focuses on the ceaseless drifting of its central figure. It is an attempt to understand why we travel, what we are, and how our lives can come to seem like a collection of strange exhibits in yet another museum we wander into on a dull afternoon in a foreign city.
