Download The Well at the World's End: The Epic True Story of One Man's Search for the Secret to Eternal Youth AudioBook Free
An old-fashioned search by way of a modern-day adventurer. WHENEVER A. J. Mackinnon quits his job in Australia, he is aware of only that he longs to go to the well at the world's end, a mystical pool over a distant Scottish island whose waters, tale has it, contain the hidden knowledge to eternal children. Determined never to fly-he claims it would feel as though he were cheating-he units out with a back pack, some fireworks, and a map of the world and trusts that chance will care for the rest.Journeying by land and sea, teach, truck, horse, and yacht, Mackinnon vacations around the world, getting swept up in some hilarious, sometimes surreal, escapades. He survives a near-fatal bus crash in Australia, inadvertently marries a Laotian princess, is attacked by way of a Komodo dragon, and does indeed amount of time in a sketchy Chinese language jail, among a great many other mishaps and misadventures on the way. Each new continent and each new function of transport brings the possibility of a near-miss or happy mishap, all on the search for eternal youth. This is actually the astonishing true story of a remarkable voyage.
