Ted Simon je autor klasične putopisne knjige JUPITER'S TRAVELS. Knjiga dokumentira njegovo četverogodišnje putovanje motociklom oko svijeta, putujući kroz Europu, Afriku, Južnu i Sjevernu Ameriku te Aziju. Knjiga je bila broj jedan bestseler krajem 1970-ih i još uvijek se smatra jednom od najvećih knjiga o motociklima – zapravo, jednom od najvećih putopisnih knjiga ikada napisanih. Godine 2001., u dobi od 69 godina, Ted Simon je odlučio ponovno prijeći svoj put, a rezultat toga je knjiga DREAMING OF JUPITER. Putovanje je trajalo dvije i pol godine – tijekom kojih je ponovno posjetio sve zemlje kroz koje je putovao 1970-ih. Uvidio je da se mnogo toga promijenilo i razmišljao o povećanom siromaštvu, političkim prevratima, ekološkim problemima, ali i o promjenama u sebi samome. No, u konačnici, DREAMING OF JUPITER je vrlo inspirativna knjiga s pozitivnom porukom u svojoj srži – da i u dobi od 70 godina možete krenuti u avanturu i biti iznenađeni i oduševljeni onim što vam život donosi.

Ted Simon is the author of the classic travel book JUPITER'S TRAVELS. It documents his four-year journey round the world by motorbike, travelling through Europe, Africa, South and North America, and Asia. A number one bestseller in the late 1970s, it is still regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle books - indeed, one of the greatest travel books - ever written. In 2001, at the age of 69, Ted Simon decided to retrace his journey, and DREAMING OF JUPITER is the result. It took him two and a half years - during which time he revisited all the countries he had travelled through in the 1970s. He found much had changed, and he reflects upon the increased poverty, political upheavals, environmental issues and indeed the changes in himself. But ultimately, DREAMING OF JUPITER is a hugely inspiring read with a positive message at its heart - that even at the age of 70 you can still set off on an adventure, and be surprised and excited by what life throws at you along the way.
