This is the illustrated edition of the hugely popular Long Way round, the fascinating account of the round the world journey undertaken by actor and motorcycle fanatic Ewan McGregor and his best friend Charley Boorman. They crossed 20,000 miles of increasingly tough terrain as they chased the dream of riding completely around the world, and Long Way Round Chasing Shadows Across the World was the result of their adventures. It is a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining account of the exploits of two friends as they travel through Europe, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, through Canada and into America. Against all the odds they realise their dreams. The epic journey was charted in the hugely popular television series, and became an international bestseller when the book was first published. This illustrated edition contains more than 100 pictures from the journey, including many never before published.
