Travel Books - Che Guevara - Eat, Pray, Love -Into the wild - Tibet Lost Horizon

I am a reader and travel enthusiast. So if you are like me then the suggestions in this article can bring many useful things. I will share to everyone and try to update the book list every year.

Before, I mostly read Vietnamese stories or translation versions, meaning that I did not have to think about language, I did not have to worry about new words or semantics.

 But since I went to study abroad, I found my foreign language proficiently "chicken" and started to motivate myself by watching non-subtitles, reading the original story, communicating with It is not easy to turn 180 degrees, but gradually get used to and become interested in reading English. Of course reading speed will be slower but in return we will feel the subtlety of using the author's words and ideas through the original words. For this reason, I encourage young people to read the original story to better understand the translation work.

If you have time, I will be very glad that you can put your favorite travel books at the end of the article to share with everyone. Thank you very much!

Here is my list:

#1. Che Guevara - The motorbike diaries

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara

I have read this novel when I was injured with my broken leg.  At that time, I really wanted to go somewhere, but I could not because of my leg.  So I asked my girlfriend to buy me a travel book of Che Guevara, a hero with many youths around the world as the way that I could travel through Latin America from Che’s eyes.

For me, I saw a trip to Latin America with a motorbike is not just a story of heroic, extraordinary action but also a real life-and-life experience, along with ideas for a journey of adventure that I really appreciate. Moreover, I thought that the exciting and challenging journey of two young people traveling together on an old motorcycle together with what has never been seen from the reality has blazed up the flames of dreams and aspiration from inside me. It has made me somehow follow of a person who wants to conquer and change the world around.

 And that man who dared to live and to do so, the man whose name later became a legend - Che!

For me, Ernesto Che Guevara is a legend, a global icon with great revolutionary style of romance. I like him because he is praised as a man who has escaped all jealous thoughts, class ties, small peoples, and pioneered the ideal of fighting for the advancement of all humanity. . With just a motorbike, Che began to become a knight of a new age, an era of uncertainty, injustice and misery not just for Latin America. His journeys - emotionally recorded through the journeys of Latin American journeys on motorcycles - not only enhanced the love of Latin America and the evolution of revolutionary awareness of Che Guevara. It also affirms the love of one's fellow human beings, especially the suffering one, though the young traveler is of middle class Argentina.

He - along with his best friend Alberto Granado - lived and shared with the poor, hungry, hungry and sick people in many of the countries they had been through. Honestly, in it, the writer does not hide hilarious, embarrassing, even sometimes quite tolerant, not in accordance with ordinary moral standards.

Honestly, I read Che's book so that I would have a chance to look back at my youth - past or present, and share the same beliefs that Che himself believed in. Believe, people can change themselves and life around!

#2  Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/06/14/eat-pray-love-author-elizabeth-gilbert-held-a-love-ceremony-with-her-terminally-ill-partner/

I read this novel as the recommendation from my girlfriend – who even use the words _ Eat, Pray , Love to describe herself in Facebook prolife 2 years old.

The story of a woman (who hears the true story of the author) runs away from a broken marriage. She spent the first year after divorce to go to three countries starting with the letters I: Italy, India and Indonesia. Each visit to her has many wonderful friends and many interesting experiences.

I can say that Eat, Pray, Love is the easiest English book I've read to date. Elizabeth Gilbert has a very simple way of using words. For example, the description of a holy smile for example, the author wrote "he's got a smile that could stop crime." Personally, it is the simplicity that delicates the reader. More than 8 million copies sold worldwide, the number I found on the cover of his 2016 print book, must be out of date. But it justifies the great message about travel life which could help you to find out about yourself and self-problem solution of Eat, Pray, Love.

#3. Into the wild by Jon Krakauer

http://www.inspiredtraveller.in/valuable-life-lessons-into-the-wild-explore-travel/

Have you ever been fed up with the hectic life of eight hours of study (or more) each day, shopping weekend, watching movies or drinking, so it goes on and on over and over again. So I always wanted to go somewhere, but it was not exactly  where it was. Only know that in that place you are relaxed, freed from the vicious cycle of the present life.

Of course I feel bored is one thing. But to bravely give up all that you have and set foot in a strange land like "No future. It does not matter "is a completely different story. Christopher - the main character of Into the wild has done such a crazy thing. The young American man resigns, cut off all contact with his family, donates most of his savings to Oxfam, and leaves with a naked heart to explore the world. He roamed all over the country, worked in fast food stalls, horse blankets, wheat harvest, canoeing, fishing, hunting, mountaineering, meeting lots of nomads ... and finally to reach the dreamland of Alaska.

The days in Alaska are the time Christopher really comes to nature as the title of the novel. He was in an abandoned bus for hunters who later called it the magical bus. Sadly, the protagonist has died of starvation and eating poisonous roots, leaving at age 24 the most beautiful life.

# 4. Peace is every step of Thich Nhat Hanh

http://www.mountainsoftravelphotos.com/Tibet%20-%20Buddhism/Videos.html

I know more about Thich Nhat Hanh through a sister studying in Hanoi who is interested in meditation, Buddhism and went to Plum Village to experience a short term experience. To tell the truth, I was less interested in Buddhism and religion in the past. But after talking with P. several times, I felt interesting and wanted to learn more about this famous Zen master. That's why I came to Peace is every step - the book received a lot of good reviews on Amazon.

Peace is every step has many similarities with my favorite book Dac Nhan Tam. Both teach the reader how to manage their emotions, love the world and live a good life. The other thing is that Dac Hong Tam is often associated with business lessons, and Peace is every step that brings together short and short stories (no more than a few pages). His talent is by the simple pen to raise the range of things, the phenomenon occurs every day for hours, helping them slip into the reader's mind in a gentle and deep. Strange! Peace is every step helps us realize that even washing dishes are very interesting.

# 5. Lost Horizon ( James Hilton)

http://timeoutvietnam.vn/shangri-la-duong-chan-troi-da-mat-3736.html

I decided to buy and read the book after seeing the film Shagrila on Tibet, being a Vietnamese, our country almost became the second Tibetan because of China's ambition of aggression. Nowadays controlled by China, I still hope that someday, Tibet will be able to transform itself and escape China's yoke.

I will summarize the story for you. This is a story about a robbery evacuated to take four people to a Lama monastery in the high mountains of Tibet. I can call it rather than a human story. Conu, thirty-four, works at the British Consulate in Baxkun (India), a man of strange charm; know many Oriental languages. You are the one who sees what needs to be done to do the best, not because of the heroic voice.

A person who does not like form, does not want to compete, does not want to push others to move on.

Therefore, on the road of life he never was disheveled but only often pushed to remote places. However, he still does not feel sad, but there is some fun because it avoids the life of competition, the crowding of contemporary society. With that in mind, when kidnapped to a monastery built in the middle of the sky, on the edge of a wild mountain in Tibet, he met the abbot Lama and was convinced he wanted to stay. come here to be a monk And shortly afterwards he was abbot before he died for his successor.
