Features: From the death valley of Kosovo to the endless warfare of Afghanistan, he advances through the thunderstorms, weaves between life and death, and writes a "deep adventure book" with his life. Sebastian Jung has created a specialty for himself—he revives the drama of nature and the essence of humanity. Few writers have visited corners of the earth as different and as difficult to survive as these. No one has provided more harrowing insights into extreme events. From the smoldering lightning fires in the American West, the thrilling whale hunts in the Caribbean, the perilous travels in Kashmir, to the rotting and stinking collective graves in Kosovo, the ruthless diamond trade in Sierra Leone, and the endless artillery smoke in Afghanistan, the book "How Fire Burns Itself" shows us some of the most dangerous places and the intricate details in the situations around the world.
