The stories encapsulated in this anthology are windows into the nomadic world—a realm where every step is a dance with the unpredictable, every encounter is a brush with the extraordinary, and every horizon is an invitation to explore the unknown. Each tale is a thread in the grand tapestry of nomadic lore, weaving together the experiences of those who have roamed the earth in search of freedom, wisdom, and the thrill of the undiscovered. As you delve into these narratives, you will traverse scorching deserts with Mirage Nomads, witness audacious archery challenges with Thunder striders, and join the rebellion with Liberation Nomads in the Unbridled Wastes. The nomads you encounter will be both familiar and foreign, embodying the diversity of cultures, landscapes, and challenges that define the nomadic way of life. The allure of nomadism lies not only in the physical landscapes explored but also in the internal odysseys undertaken by these wanderers. Nomads navigate not only the external terrains of mountains, jungles, and oceans but also the vast landscapes within themselves—their fears, aspirations, and the eternal pursuit of freedom.

In 1987, Rita, newly divorced, set out to live her dream. She sold all her possessions and became a nomad. She wrote a book about her ongoing journey and, in 2001, insisted on putting her personal e-mail address in the last chapter—against all advice. It turned out to be a fortuitous decision. She has met thousands of readers, stayed in their homes, and sat around kitchen tables sharing stories and food and laughter. In this essay collection, Gelman includes her own further adventures, as well as those of writers and readers telling tales of the shared humanity they experienced in their travels. The stories are funny and sad, poignant and tender, familiar and bizarre. They will make you laugh and cry and maybe even send you off on your own adventure. Also included are fabulous international recipes such as vegetarian dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), chiles en nogada (stuffed poblano chiles topped with a white cream sauce with walnuts and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds), and ho mok (an extraordinary fish-coconut custard from Thailand). Happy reading—and bon appétit, selamat makan, buen provecho!

The many adventures of the "epic" in modern times are fascinating topics in themselves. The Romantics claimed that every self-respecting nation should, at some time, have had one and they set out to reconstruct these epics for political as well as cultural reasons. Such epics represented earlier stages in the development of nation-states and in this modern world they were, for a long time, hard to appreciate. The introduction of tape recorders, however, brought the epic back in the limelight. It became fashionable for scholars to record long oral narratives, and to present them as long written poems that reflected deeply ingrained ideas. Because of this technology, the idea of the epic was revitalized. This volume presents critical analyses of epics in Sub-Saharan Africa, the former Soviet Union, South-East Asia, Medieval Europe, and America and discusses the process of revitalization, sometimes even invention, of epics in particular historical, political, and academic contexts. Jan Jansen is a member of the Department of Anthropology of the University of Leiden, Netherlands. Henk M.J. Maier is professor in the Department of Languages and Cultures of Southeast Asia and Oceania of the University of Leiden, Netherlands.
