Pretty good travel book about wandering camel tribes in India. Not quite as good as Tracks. She found India fascinating but very frustrating because of all the crowds and language barrier, etc. ( )

Hmm...this book was just ok for me. Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it. Definitely better than Karma Gone Bad. At least Robyn has common sense and only whines and complains some of the time instead of constantly. At least she gets down with the people.

NOTE TO SELF: I think I already read her other book, Traxx, but it wasn’t marked as read here on GR so I’m not sure. I marked it as want to read so that I can figure out if I have or not. ( )

Vor kurzem habe ich den Film "Spuren" gesehen, der den Marsch der Autorin durch die Wüste Australiens erzählt. Der Film hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Dadurch angeregt, habe ich mir das hier vorliegende Buch antiquarisch gekauft. Das Buch ist nicht mehr neu im Handel erhältlich. Bis Seite 136 von 344 bin ich gekommen. Nun gebe ich auf. Frau Davidson will, wohl einige Zeit nach ihrer legendären Wüstendurchquerung in Australien, mit indischen Nomaden, den Rabaris, durch Indien ziehen. Endlos zieht sich die Suche nach einer geeigneten Nomadengruppe hin, Namen und Orte wechseln permanent, ohne das die Figuren für mich lebendig werden. Auch kann ich den ewigen Orts- und Personenwechseln nicht folgen. Auch der Grund, warum Frau Davidson diese Nomaden begleiten will, erschliesst sich mir nicht. Ein Grund ist wohl, dass sie das ganze Unterfangen einer Zeitschrift angedient hat, die sich spektakuläre Fotos und eine gute Story erhofft. An einer Stelle nennt Frau Davidson sich auch selbst eine Journalistin. Schon seit einigen Seiten lese ich das Buch immer mit dem Gedanken, jetzt müsse es doch mal gut sein und entweder das Buch ein Ende finden oder die geplante Reise endlich einmal los gehen. Auf jeden Fall liest man viel über die indische Landbevölkerung und das indische System. Trotzdem ist für mich alles so wirr und sprunghaft geschrieben, dass mir die Geduld fehlt. Ich habe mir auch die beiden anderen Bücher der Autorin gekauft, mal sehen, ob diese Bücher halten, was der Film versprochen hat. ( )

In 1992 Robyn Davidson travelled through a year's migratory cycle with the Rabari, pastoral nomads of northwest India, whose grazing lands and trading and pilgrimage routes are quickly being destroyed by new political boundaries, atomic test sites, and irrigation. Sleeping among five thousand sheep and surviving on goat's milk, flatbread, and parasite-infested water in a landscape of misery and haunting loveliness, she endured exhaustion, malnutrition and disease. But she gained an understanding and the trust of a fiercely courageous people with a disappearing way of life. Displaying a writer's acute eye for detail and a traveller's keen appreciation for the beauty to be found in the earth's most desolate landscapes, Davidson explores with ruthless honesty her own desert places even as she immortalizes these "keepers of the way" and a culture about to die.

Travel, as a mountaineer once described mountain climbing, is “the conquest of nothing.” It is an absurd activity, and this you fully understand after reading Robyn Davidson. Tourism is part of the commodity logic of a market system; it has a clear and circumscribed place in that scheme of things, but travel the way Davidson does it is a kind of existentialist, degree zero activity, from which, however, you can actually learn something, because she is a good, vivid writer with neither false pride nor phony self-deprecation, willing to strip away layer after layer of her own illusions to try to get at whatever truth the experience has. What you learn in this book has a lot to do with the phenomenon of privilege without power, the sheer freakishness, that is a white woman’s experience when she tries to insert herself into the rigid hierarchies of poor, patriarchal worlds. But you also learn something about how extreme cultural and economic difference have stretched human solidarity almost to the breaking point of a completely insane each against all, and exhausted the natural world, and yet both continue to hold, so tenuously, the possibility of repair and renewal. And, in clear and compelling detail, the very particular way this unfolds in a tiny slice of the vast, complex societies of India. Yes, all that’s in here. You should read Robyn Davidson if you want to take a trip to somewhere very real. ( )
