Gestalten’s impressive body of publications is a treasure trove for anyone interested in art, design, and architecture, with the release of ‘Life on the Road – Around the World on Four Wheels’ further cementing the company’s reputation.

Packed with stunning full-color photographs and featuring insightful commentary from its contributors, ‘Life on the Road – Around the World on Four Wheels’ perfectly captures the feeling of wanderlust in contemporary society. Billed as an inspirational account of an epic journey worldwide, it shares the global adventures of two artists as they drive their converted truck across the continents.

Taking in the stunning vistas of the Middle East, Europe, Indonesia, Australia, and elsewhere, ‘Life on the Road—Around the World on Four Wheels’ sets the stage with a detailed map before leading the reader through the journey. Photographer Leander Nardin’s vibrant photography brings this journey to life with passionately written accounts provided by Maria Zehentner, all spread across 256 high-quality pages in a stitch-bound hardcover.

The book focuses on each location’s varying climates and associated challenges, with National Geographic-worthy landscape photographs complemented by snaps of the duo relaxing around a campfire.
