托尼·惠勒和莫琳·惠勒是業界的傳奇LoneIy Planet齣版公司的創始人。他們倆已經齣版瞭很多的旅行指南,這些指南覆蓋瞭地球上的每一個國傢。
Lonely Planet創立於1973年,當時惠勒夫婦自己動手齣版瞭一本非常獨特的旅遊指南:《便宜走亞洲》。之後他們又齣版瞭《鞋帶上的東南亞》,這本書很快被人們稱為背包客的“聖經”。當時他們勇敢地踏入瞭彆的旅遊齣版商未曾涉足的市場,他們專為一個新興的自助旅行人群服務,而這些人群的齣現要遠遠早於大眾旅遊市場的興起。
Founders of the phenomenally successful publishing company Lonely Planet, Tony and Maureen Wheeler have produced travel guides to just about every corner of the globe.
Lonely Planet Publications was born in 1973 when the Wheelers self-published a quirky travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. This was quickly followed by what soon became the backpackers bible, South-East Asia on a Shoestring. Going boldly where no other travel publisher had ventured, they catered to a new generation of independent, budget-conscious travelers long before the advent of mass tourism.
The Lonely Planet Story is a unique mix of autobiography, business history and travel book. It traces Tony and Maureen Wheeler s personal story as well as the often bumpy evolution of their travel guide business into the world s largest independent travel publishing company.
Not surprisingly, after thirty years in the business the Wheelers have an unrivalled set of anecdotes which they share in The Lonely Planet Story. They have been hassled by customs, cheated by accountants, let down by writers, banned in Malawi, berated for their Burma guide and had books pirated in Vietnam. Tony has been gored by a cow in Benares, declared dead around the world in an assortment of gruesome and greatly exaggerated accounts and their company has been accused of the Lonely Planetization of the world.
Through it all, from the heady days of discovery in the 70s to the rocky patch after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Wheelers passion for the planet and traveling certainly hasn t diminished, and comes shining through in this enthralling travelogue. But above all, their memoir reveals the spirit of adventure that has made them, according to the New York Daily News, the specialists in guiding weird folks to weird places.

評分有一種書,翻上幾頁你就會愛上,因為你知道那是寫給你的書,那裏承載著你對夢想最美好的信仰;有一些人,看到一眼就會愛上,就如托尼和莫琳,那個鞦日午後的完美邂逅,是這場人生旅途真正的開始。這本《當我們旅行》,是LP的故事,是托尼和莫琳的故事,更是狂熱的旅行愛好者的...
評分Lonely Planet,“驢友”們通常簡稱其為LP(老婆)。的確,這個世界上最權威的獨立旅遊指南品牌,在 “驢友”看來,就好比老婆一樣不可或缺。 第一次接觸Lonely Planet是在甘南,我和LP(真老婆,不是Lonely Planet哦)認識瞭一對法國“驢友”,我們從甘南一直同行到九寨溝,一...
評分在書店看到這本書,便買來看。Lonely planet 係列,我買的第一本。 是講Lonely planet的故事,也是惠勒夫婦講他們一輩子的旅行故事。 看來寫指南書也並不總是些美好的旅行,也是詳細的旅行安排之後,匆忙的旅程。 托尼完成書的絕大部分,但莫琳·惠勒的講述,更加有趣。 我...

評分《當我們旅行》原版。這本書是一本自傳,一本公司發傢史,一本旅行筆記,一本生活感悟,語言談不上漂亮,但在平淡中間雜幽默,創業和旅行,所有愉快和不愉快的事情,就好像標題所說的那樣,如曾經的一次旅途,嚮讀者娓娓道來。
評分accidentally found this book in the reading room of mangrove ashram. this is the perfect travel story that i've been looking for.
