The result is <I>Pole to Pole</I>, Palin's account of his extraordinary journey between July and December 1991, passing through 17 countries from Greenland and the former Soviet Union in the north to Kenya, South Africa and Chile in the south. <p>From the frozen wastes of both poles, to the scorching heat of Africa, <I>Pole to Pole</I> is a travelogue of bizarre extremes. Palin revels in the surrealism of it all as he travels through a range of vastly different European and African communities undergoing massive social and political upheavals in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Palin's shrewd observations are as ever interspersed with his eye for the weird and the comical, as he meets Santa Claus and Lenin, goes shopping for camels in Omdurman, and makes a final hectic dash to the South Pole via Chile. It's all quite exhausting! --<I>Jerry Brotton</I> 1114906 1992 Pole to Pole total:134|5:41|4:70|3:22|2:0|1:1| 134 552 176 15 1080286 0563521988 9780563521983 105 14 4.12
