During a winter visit to Helsinki, a writer and inveterate traveller reflects on his recent journeys through the Far East and muses on the nature of travel itself. As his memories take him from country to country, his awareness deepens of both the unsettling rootlessness that lies behind his wanderlust, and the hurt and pain in the lives of most of the individuals he encounters along the way.Meanwhile, in the background, the Finnish winter gives way to Malaysia’s sweltering heat, fading quietly into a crisp late autumn in Hong Kong, followed by Korea’s biting winds and the grey rains of Shanghai, until snow in Tokyo takes the narrator back to winter and Helsinki. Here, in a final chapter set in an imaginary museum devoted to his journeys, he finally confronts everything his ceaseless travelling has been designed to help him evade.Wild Roads is at once a moody travelogue with a striking blend of detachment and cold lyricism, and a highly structured narrative that focuses on the ceaseless drifting of its central figure. It is an attempt to understand why we travel, what we are, and how our lives can come to seem like a collection of strange exhibits in yet another museum we have wandered into on a dull afternoon in a foreign city.

"My career as an architect and designer began over seventeen years ago, and it has been a fabulous journey of learning and discovery. Along the way I have found many new friends in the clients who have asked me to create spaces to inhabit, spaces that are filled with wonder, with a sense of timeless luxury, and with grace and charm. My great passion is for materials: the refinement of the very best linens, the finest wood, the most luxurious silks. I retain a team of experienced craftsmen whose skill in working with these materials is assured, while I apply my expertise to every aspect of the project, designing my own bespoke pieces of furniture and selecting other items and accessories from contemporary and classic collections. I hope you enjoy this invitation to view these spaces as much as I enjoyed creating them." - Ricardo BarrosoRicardo Barroso is known for his luxurious residential, commercial and hospitality design projects from around the world involving high-end residences, executive jets, private yachts, restaurants and nightclubs.Ricardo Barroso Interiors gives a personal look into Barroso's artistic ethos with more than 240 colour photographs of his past and present works, inspired from his life experiences and extensive travels.Text in English and Spanish.
