托尼·惠勒和莫琳·惠勒是业界的传奇LoneIy Planet出版公司的创始人。他们俩已经出版了很多的旅行指南,这些指南覆盖了地球上的每一个国家。
Lonely Planet创立于1973年,当时惠勒夫妇自己动手出版了一本非常独特的旅游指南:《便宜走亚洲》。之后他们又出版了《鞋带上的东南亚》,这本书很快被人们称为背包客的“圣经”。当时他们勇敢地踏入了别的旅游出版商未曾涉足的市场,他们专为一个新兴的自助旅行人群服务,而这些人群的出现要远远早于大众旅游市场的兴起。
Founders of the phenomenally successful publishing company Lonely Planet, Tony and Maureen Wheeler have produced travel guides to just about every corner of the globe.
Lonely Planet Publications was born in 1973 when the Wheelers self-published a quirky travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. This was quickly followed by what soon became the backpackers bible, South-East Asia on a Shoestring. Going boldly where no other travel publisher had ventured, they catered to a new generation of independent, budget-conscious travelers long before the advent of mass tourism.
The Lonely Planet Story is a unique mix of autobiography, business history and travel book. It traces Tony and Maureen Wheeler s personal story as well as the often bumpy evolution of their travel guide business into the world s largest independent travel publishing company.
Not surprisingly, after thirty years in the business the Wheelers have an unrivalled set of anecdotes which they share in The Lonely Planet Story. They have been hassled by customs, cheated by accountants, let down by writers, banned in Malawi, berated for their Burma guide and had books pirated in Vietnam. Tony has been gored by a cow in Benares, declared dead around the world in an assortment of gruesome and greatly exaggerated accounts and their company has been accused of the Lonely Planetization of the world.
Through it all, from the heady days of discovery in the 70s to the rocky patch after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Wheelers passion for the planet and traveling certainly hasn t diminished, and comes shining through in this enthralling travelogue. But above all, their memoir reveals the spirit of adventure that has made them, according to the New York Daily News, the specialists in guiding weird folks to weird places.
