«Sesenta semanas en el trópico» is Antonio Escohotado's travel chronicle, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (384 pages, in Spanish).
Antonio Escohotado recounts a year in Thailand and excursions to Vietnam, Burma and Singapore, with a gaze that oscillates between desolation and jubilation. He addresses poverty and wealth in Southeast Asia, reaches the Amazon with an outbreak of introspection and telepathy, and contrasts two ways of inhabiting the world: the inner planet and the outer planet.
Volume 348 of the Narrativas hispánicas collection; Anagrama, Barcelona, 2003. It bears the subtitle «Viajes por el planeta exterior».
A book for restless readers, interested in travel, anthropology and philosophical reflection.
Antonio Escohotado Espinosa, commonly called Antonio Escohotado, was a Spanish philosopher, jurist, essayist and university professor. His life's work primarily focused on law, philosophy and sociology, yet extended to many other disciplines. Escohotado gained public renown for his research on drugs and for his well-known anti-prohibitionist positions. One of his best known works is The General History of Drugs. The leitmotif of his work is, in the same way, an affirmation of freedom as an antidote to fear or the constraints that push the human being towards all kinds of servitude. His thought fits into the framework of libertarian liberalism.
