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.

Subtle shades of landscape and light changing throughout the year; ravens tumbling overhead and returning swallows gathering mud to build their nests …. all woven into a humorous yet heart-rending account of life entwined with nature. This tale of running a bed and breakfast in the Shropshire Hills, reveals a learning curve of mistakes and challenges set against the ever-present beauty of the natural world, until the cruel intervention of motor neurone disease darkens the idyll. An inspirational affirmation of life and intimate engagement with nature …. which reveals its own complex and powerful character. Small cameos of wild things are sharply observed, written with real love and illustrated with exquisite drawings. Living with the Covid pandemic, climate change and deteriorating health, — not to mention an unforgettable kaleidoscope of two, four and six legged guests — each episode of this rural life is faced with wry humour, courage and resourcefulness, deepening the sense of life’s value. Those who care for the natural world and our environment will warm to this profoundly moving story.
