PALIN MICHAEL THERE AND BACK

THE FOURTH VOLUME OF MICHAEL PALIN'S BESTSELLING DIARIES   A new millennium  and a new chapter
for Michael Palin unfolds. With a Hemingway travel project testing his confidence  doubts
creeping in about his abilities as a writer  the death of his great friend George Harrison and
the last of his children leaving home  the dawn of the twenty-first century sees Michael at his
most reflective yet. ¿  Over the next ten years  we watch through Michael's eyes as the world
reels from¿the successive shocks of September 11  the 7 7 bombings and the global financial
crash. With the warmth and gentle empathy that have endeared him to millions of fans over the
decades  Michael documents the day-to-day detail of living in a world buffeted by such powerful
winds of change.¿  And amidst this turbulence  one thing remains constant: Michael's
irrepressible curiosity and thirst for adventure. These diaries follow his life as he comes and
goes through the filming of four blockbuster travel documentaries - Hemingway Adventure  
Sahara   Himalaya and New Europe - and reaches the peak of his fame as a beloved TV traveller.
And five years on from the last of his children flying the nest  Michael embarks on his
greatest adventure yet: becoming a besotted grandfather.¿   There and Back is a new window into
the world of Michael Palin  one that reveals more than ever the strength and succour he draws
from those ever-present supporting structures in his life: his family  his friendships and  of
course  the Pythons.
