Product Overview
Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind. ~ Seneca the Younger ~ (4 B.C.A.D. 65) In An Elysian Passage, the author seats the reader next to him as he ventures out to fulfill a lifelong dreamto return to the world of travel he knew in his youth. This time it is not as a vagabond searcher, hitchhiking his way across dangerous and foreign lands, but as a seasoned citizen seeking final resolution. The initial cry of the newborn signals the commencement of a lifelong journey through this earthly realm. What each soul does with the finite number of days providence has granted becomes their unique story. Robert V. Hardy has done a remarkable job in sharing his in the passage trilogy, a three-volume chronicle spanning 70 years. Few among us have taken the time to so thoroughly trace their path and share such revealing and bountiful accounts. In this exciting memoir, you are there when he shoots the rapids of the Colorado, is charged by the silverback in the jungles of Rwanda, stalked by a grizzly in the wilds of Alaska, and eyed as prey by the Ranthambore tiger. This book provides gratifying rewards to both armchair adventurers and those who, like Hardy, have lived life to the fullest.
