The fascinating story of the adventurous couple who backpacked across Asia and then built the most successful travel publishing business on the planet
Founders of the phenomenally successful publishing company Lonely Planet, Tony and Maureen Wheeler have produced travel guides to just about every corner of the globe. Lonely Planet Publications was born in 1973 when the Wheelers self-published a quirky travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. This was quickly followed by what soon became the backpackersbible, South-East Asia on a Shoestring. Going boldly where no other travel publisher had ventured, they catered to a new generation of independent, budget-conscious travelers long before the advent of mass tourism. The Lonely Planet Story is a unique mix of autobiography, business history and travel book. It traces Tony and Maureen Wheeler personal story as well as the often bumpy evolution of their travel guide business into the world largest independent travel publishing company. Not surprisingly, after thirty years in the business the Wheelers have an unrivalled set of anecdotes which they share in The Lonely Planet Story. They have been hassled by customs, cheated by accountants, let down by writers, banned in Malawi, berated for their Burma guide and had books pirated in Vietnam. Tony has been gored by a cow in Benares, declared dead around the world in an assortment of gruesome and greatly exaggerated accounts and their company has been accused of the ely Planetization the world. Through it all, from the heady days of discovery in the 0s to the rocky patch after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Wheelerspassion for the planet and traveling certainly hasn diminished, and comes shining through in this enthralling travelogue. But above all, their memoir reveals the spirit of adventure that has made them, according to the New York Daily News, specialists in guiding weird folks to weird places.vance praise for Tony and Maureen Wheeler and the book: "Like Apple and Starbucks and Ben & Jerry s, all of which began as plucky alternatives, Lonely Planet has become a mainstream brand." - The New Yorker "...the trailblazing patron saint of the world s backpackers and adventure travellers." - The New York Times
我喜欢那些并非处心积虑,也非雄心壮志,仅仅是平实自然的创造了些东西出来的故事。但我起初并不知道惠勒夫妇也是其中之一。今年4月才拥有了第一本Lonely Planet的《云南》。蓝色的封皮,翔实的内容,甚合我意。我甚至举着它在丽江古城外面拍照,当时也不知是怎么想的,可能是...
評分书还没有读完,我就迫不及待得要写点什么:因为身在出版行业,我看到的《当我们旅行》,不光是一个传记故事,更是一个出版社成长的历史。 先讲另一故事:三年前我是某国有大型出版社的版权经理。有一天,一个同事拿着几分漂亮的书目到办公室。他说,这是一个叫做Lonely Planet...
評分Lonely Planet,孤独的星球。也许地球曾经很孤独,才出现了人类。地球渴望人类去了解他,才出现了那么多的旅行者、背包客。 无数人羡慕甚至嫉妒的一对夫妻:Tony & Maureen. 他们因为旅行进而创办了自己的公司。羡慕他们能全世界旅游并且还能大把大把的赚钱,过着自由自在的生...
評分在书店看到这本书,便买来看。Lonely planet 系列,我买的第一本。 是讲Lonely planet的故事,也是惠勒夫妇讲他们一辈子的旅行故事。 看来写指南书也并不总是些美好的旅行,也是详细的旅行安排之后,匆忙的旅程。 托尼完成书的绝大部分,但莫琳·惠勒的讲述,更加有趣。 我...
評分Lonely Planet 是公司的名字,可是他们每年的结婚纪念日几乎都在路上度过留影,携手走在路上30多年,他们是最幸福的背包伴侣。 看他们结婚时亲密的拥抱和明媚的笑容,看莫琳对丈夫随时的出发念头欣然拥护,看莫琳在海滩上性感的背影,你不会知道,他们早期的背包生涯是...
