Magic Bus; On the Hippie Trail From Istanbul To India

By Rory MacLean

"Nearly 40 years after the first pioneering hippies of the 1960s traveled the overland route to India and Nepal via Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, travel writer Mac-Lean (Falling for Icarus) follows in their footsteps. These countries have changed in the intervening years, and MacLean's descriptions of the locals and their present circumstances are vivid and compelling. Contrasting the past with the present, MacLean ruminates on how the hippies perceived travel as a means to transformation rather than simply a change of scene. According to MacLean, today a hippie in Afghanistan would probably end up dead. "
