In 'You Shall Know Our Velocity', Dave Eggers presents a moving and hilarious story about two friends, Will and Hand, who embark on a journey around the world with the intention of distributing a considerable sum of money among those who need it most. However, this philanthropic mission becomes an adventure full of unexpected challenges, surprising encounters, and lessons learned. Through brothels, races, bribes, and threats, the novel explores profound themes such as the confrontation between world powers and the Third World, as well as the guilt of the Western white man.
