Martin Vopěnka’s novel, The Back of Beyond—Travels with Benjamin, is the story of a middle-aged man, who—despite his professional success and affluence—lacks fulfillment. After the tragic death of his wife, he is left alone with his eight-year-old son and quickly realizes that if he wants to succeed in the role of single parent that has suddenly been thrust upon him, he has to change fundamentally. So, he takes his son and sets out on a journey to what he dubs the Back of Beyond. Without telling anyone of their plans—in fact, without any plans to speak of—father and son travel from city to city, from country to country, assembling a travelogue that includes not only depictions of exotic places and colorful encounters, but also an inner journey, deep into the human experience and the complexities of living in a post-communist world. With its unique blend of sensitive and suggestive language, The Back of Beyond - Travels with Benjamin is a stylistic gem, rendered in seamless translation and appearing here for the first time in English.
Back of Beyond
A troubled cop seeks to save his son from a killer in the wilderness of Yellowstone. Back of Beyond is a gripping adventure from New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box, and the first book in the series that inspired hit TV show Big Sky. Twilight falls on a cold, wet spring day in the mountains of Montana. A cabin smoulders in the forest. Its charred structure reveals the remains of a single body. Detective Cody Hoyt investigates. A brilliant cop, Cody is also struggling with alcoholism and close to losing his job. It doesn't help that the body in the cabin is his AA sponsor, Hank Winters. It looks like a suicide, but Cody knew Hank better than that. Cody is determined to get justice for his friend. But when the clues lead to a company running wilderness adventures, he realises their latest trip, to Yellowstone National Park, is the very same one his estranged teenage son has signed up for... Cody must trek deep into Yellowstone, America's greatest wilderness, alone, in pursuit of his son – and the truth. Reviews for Back of Beyond 'Timeless, gripping. Resembles an Agatha Christie whodunnit but with horses, bears, wolves and hunting rifles.' Sunday Times 'A perfect introduction to the novels of C.J. Box.' Booklist 'Perceptive... smooth, muscular writing keeps the tension rising.' Financial Times 'One of the most suspenseful wilderness thrillers since Deliverance.' Associated Press 'Terrifically entertaining.' Kirkus

“Kiwi”—a small, flightless, nocturnal bird which is native to, and the national symbol of, New Zealand. We travelled around the United States and Canada for twelve months towing a camper, touching on all forty-eight contiguous states and eight Canadian Provinces. As we tried to support the American economy the only way we knew how—by sticking to the secondary roads, stopping at all the small towns, and buying beer at all the backwoods bars—we were continually asked the same questions: “What are you?”—“We’re Kiwis.” “Where are you from?”—“New Zealand, but we live in Australia.” “What are you doing here?”—“We want to see every State, learn all the history, and experience what it is like to live as an American.” “Why?”—“Because America gets such a bad rap around the world, we want to find out for ourselves if it is justified . . . and if you really are as good as you think you are . . .”
