After his first successful book about his 7-year world tour, the cycling philosopher presents his second captivating book. This time, he travels through Africa and Asia accompanied by his partner Nathalie Pellegrinelli. They cross the Sahara through Libya, Egypt, and Sudan, ride through the mountains of Ethiopia to Djibouti, and cross the Red Sea to Yemen. Together, they cycle through the Indian subcontinent and conquer the Himalayas before parting ways. The separation from Nathalie weighs heavily on him, a pneumonia forces him to pause, and the extreme climate takes its toll. Nevertheless, Claude's cheerful nature and unwavering optimism shape the entire journey. He vividly and intimately describes the people he meets, their lives, hopes, and fears, as well as their breathtakingly beautiful countries.
