Lonely Planet The Kindness of Strangers
Ref: LP0444
Tales of fate & fortune on the road, including original stories by Jan Morris, Tim Cahill, Simon Winchester, & Dave Eggers.
A timely collection of inspiring tales, The Kindness of Strangers explores the unexpected human connections that so often transform the experience of travel, and celebrates the gift of kindness around the world.
You are alone in a foreign place, you don't speak the language, you have lost your wallet - probably stolen - you have no money and no documents. You are slightly hysterical and then out of the blue a stranger appears and rescues you for no reason other than goodness, giving you back the trust in mankind that only small children and dogs have. This collection of tales is about those unexpected gifts and how they affect our lives. So kindness isn't extinct after all. - Isabel Allende
The Kindness of Strangers is a wonderful companion for travel. It enlarges us, reminding us that serendipity is one of the ultimate joys of life's constant journey. - Amy Tan
