Nostalgia is spreading through the country.

One year after his best-selling Notes From An Even Smaller Island had the whole of Singapore laughing helplessly; Neil Humphreys is still madly in love with his humble but stimulating existence on this sunny island.

Chi ha tracciato i sentieri e le strade? I morti. Chi ha dato il nome ai paesi? I morti. Chi ha costruito le case e le chiese? I morti. Chi ha disegnato le forme dei campi registrate nel catasto? I morti. Chi ha stabilito leggi, regole di convivenza, usi quotidiani? I morti.Nei piccoli cimiteri di campagna e di paese, e ancora più nei poetici cimiteri abbandonati, lungo tutto l’Appennino, a volte i morti sembrano più presenti dei vivi.

In April of 1895, a Nova Scotian by the name of Joshua Slocum set sail from Boston with the goal of circumnavigating the globe by himself. Three years and 46,000 miles later, he would publish the story of his journey, Sailing Alone Around the World, an instant classic that has since never been out of print. A decade later, in 1909, Slocum set sail for the Amazon and was never seen again. More than a century later another Nova Scotian adventurer, RC Shaw, leaves his home in Cow Bay on a bicycle bound for Slocum’s childhood home of Brier Island.
