Jupiter's Travels

About this book

In the late 70s Ted Simon rode 63 000 miles over four years through fifty-four countries in a journey that took him around the world. Through breakdowns prison war revolutions disasters and a Californian commune he travelled into the depths of fear and reached the heights of euphoria. He met astonishing people and was treated as a spy a welcome stranger and even a god. For Simon the trip became a journey into his own soul and for many others - including bikers Charley Boorman and Ewan McGrergor - it provides an inspiration they will never forget.
