Looking Beyond English 2008

'Travel Writing is the art of discovering the magic of ordinary persons, places and things...' Hugh and Colleen Gantzer are pioneering travel writers and travel documentary filmmakers. Looking Beyond shares its name with a series of half-hour episodes that they did for Indian national television, documenting their travels the first of its kind in English on Indian television. In Looking Beyond they invite the reader to join them as they travel around India and the meeting the man who spoke 'Indian' coming across the Sher Khan Parivar in Kipling Country; trying to order a Scotch Broth - or anything at all - from a 'cooker' in Switzerland; looking for werewolves in Moravia; and even witnessing the birth-pangs of a nation. Complete with pictures to go with every place they describe, the book brings together the best of their well-known, well-loved travel writing in one collection.
