Closely with the people on earth. By Þóri Guðmundsson.
Close to the People of the Earth tells the story of ordinary people in extraordinary and sometimes incredible situations. Farmers in China and Bangladesh who struggle with the forces of nature, honest people who deal with the consequences of war, impoverished businessmen in Africa, merchants on the bustling streets of big cities on the Indian subcontinent, hardworking women and friendly police officers in the former Soviet Union, and people who grow up against walls, whether they are human or imaginary. The book also tells the story of people who have unspeakable horrors on their conscience. The people that Þórir meets have incredible strength despite their devastating circumstances. He meets people who face their fate with equanimity, fight against the oppressive power and are determined to emerge victorious.
Þórir Guðmundsson has a passionate interest in people. He has worked around the world in aid work for the Red Cross, often in conflict and disaster areas. He has also been a journalist for decades, traveling the world reporting on international affairs. Behind the news are people, and aid work is about helping people. In his work, Þórir has met people in both palaces and slums, living in prosperity and on the verge of starvation. In this book, he tells the memorable stories of these people, the people of the earth.
