Thomas Bobergs rejseminder begynder i Danmark med billeder af en opvækst i en meget anderledes familie. Størstedelen af bogen rummer tanker, oplevelser og erfaringer fra mange år på rejser i Sydeuropa, Asien, Nordafrika og ikke mindst i Sydamerika, bl.a. med besøg i de indianercivilisationer, den vesteuropæiske invasion omstyrtede.
