Jupiter's Travels: The Classic Adventure that Inspired Long Way Around (Revised Edition) by Ted Simon

In the late '70s Ted Simon rode 63,000 miles over four years through fifty-four countries on a journey that took him around the world. Through breakdowns, prison, war, revolutions, disasters and a Californian commune, he travelled into the depths of the unknown and reached the heights of euphoria.

He met astonishing people and was treated as a spy, a welcome stranger and even a god. For Simon the trip became a journey into his own soul, and for many others -- including bikers Charley Boorman and Ewan MacGregor -- it provided an inspiration they would never forget.
