Parece que en la actualidad, al menos en España, se ha impuesto la moda de hacer una poesía que ha heredado de las vanguardias el verso libre o suelto, y de la tradición anterior, la temática evocativa de la experiencia del yo teñida de sentimentalidad. En este libro, Fortuny hace una propuesta diferente e incluso inversa: usar el verso tradicional para tratar asuntos preñados de futuro, como pueden serlo los descubrimientos científicos de los siglos XX y el corriente, con las implicaciones filosóficas que de ahí se deduzcan, porque es obvio que el viejo materialismo mecanicista, negador del espíritu y la conciencia en tanto que meros epifenómenos, producto del sistema nervioso, no se sostiene. No es solo que lo único que exista sea la materia y que lo demás sea puro y aparente fenómeno y cuento, sino que el cuento está resultando ser la existencia absoluta de la materia, que no sería otra cosa que una abstracción de lo que todos los fenómenos tienen en común. Y así, con Sheldrake y Kastrup, quedaría resuelto el problema del dualismo cartesiano. El libro, además, se cierra con una voz de alarma sobre los peligros y responsabilidades que implican la nueva era que ha empezado con la globalización: el Antropoceno.

"The queen of travel writing." Amazon reviewer"Travel writing at its best." Peter Kerr, best-selling author of Snowball Oranges"Hilarious book. It should be prescribed on the National Health Service!" Amazon reviewer From the author of the Amazon best-selling Greek travel memoir, Things Can Only Get Feta, comes a new collection of funny and candid tales. Wake Me Up For The Elephants has already reached #1 best-seller status in the UK, US and Australia in travel categories and has the humour and flavour of Marjory's Greek memoirs but with a broader canvas: Africa, Fiji, Greece, Australia, Scotland and Ireland. They are exotic, romantic locations and the stories are based on real journeys, some of which were taken as journalistic assignments. They introduce the reader to wild locations, eccentric fellow travellers and hilarious, often scary, situations: dodging wild animals on safari and a male stalker in Mombasa; dance torment in tropical Fiji; a supernatural mystery in the Australian bush; a beach gallop in Ireland led by a lobster fisherman; a boating mash-up on the exquisite Greek island of Paxos. But this collection is not all fun and frolics. Some of the stories, particularly from Scotland, are undercut by nostalgia as the author grapples with the notion of a homeland and where a restless traveller belongs when the wandering, and the laughter, stops. This book also stands as a fascinating prequel to the Greek travel series, revealing the author's unforgettable and funny adventures just before embarking on her four-year Big Fat Greek Odyssey.WHAT READERS LOVE ABOUT Wake Me Up For The Elephants: "Keenly observed, fun-filled tales, yet with a beautifully understated appreciation of life's poignant moments, too."

Goodreads reviewer"Marjory tells a good story with a journalist's eye for mood and detail." Alex Martin, Anglo Hellenic review."I loved the characters and the enthusiasm that drives the narrative." Mark Douglas-Home, best-selling author"Part travel, part history, this very personal memoir (Things Can Only Get Feta) is a love letter to the characters that inhabit their little bit of paradise."
