The Other River

by Anna Caranta, XuRRuRuCa (Editor), Diego Martínez (Illustrator)

This story starts eight years ago, on a bus that goes to the South of Argentina. Diego and Anna have decided to take a year trip from Argentina to Mexico. The book ends in China, Yunnan, six years later, on a tandem bike, with their son in tow. On the road, they get to know many different characters. On the road, they shed their worldly habits to open their minds to new horizons. On the road, they search their souls questioning what they have let behind and what they have found, they search for the essence of travel and life. It would be all too obvious to summarize their journey, made up of thousands of anecdotes and encounters with all kinds of people and with themselves. It wouldn't be fair to write one paragraph about something much their feelings and their understanding life, influenced by wise men, shamans, visionaries, travelers, hustlers, poor, rich, and desperate people. Jorge Conessa It is a book not to be missed, a book to devour, which makes us want to grab a backpack, or at least look at our world with different eyes. Le1a Nasca
