- Dervla Murphy (born November 28, 1931, Ireland) is an Irish touring cyclist and author of adventure travel books for over 40 years. Murphy is best known for her 1965 book Full Tilt: Ireland to India With a Bicycle, about an overland cycling trip through Europe, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. She followed this by volunteering with Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal, and trekking with a mule through Ethiopia. Murphy took a break from travel writing following the birth of her daughter, and then wrote about her travels with Rachel in India, Pakistan, South America, Madagascar and Cameroon. She later wrote about her solo trips through Romania, Africa, Laos, the states of the former Yugoslavia, and Siberia. In 2005 she visited Cuba with her daughter and three granddaughters. Murphy has normally traveled alone and unaided, without luxuries and depending on the hospitality of local people. She has been in dangerous situations; for example, she was attacked by wolves in the former Yugoslavia, threatened by soldiers in Ethiopia, and robbed in Siberia. However, she described her worst incident as tripping over cats at home and shattering her left arm.
- Dai suoi viaggi ha scritto dei libri, con il cui ricavato intraprende altri viaggi. La sua attività lavorativa era quella dell'infermiera, ma si è poi dedicata ai viaggi d'avventura. Inizia a farsi conoscere con il libro Full Tilt: Ireland to India With a Bicycle che racconta del viaggio in bici intrapreso attraverso Europa, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan e India. Murphy di solito viaggia da sola e senza alcun aiuto esterno talvolta ritrovandosi in situazioni di pericolo.
- Dervla Murphy is een Iers schrijfster van reisverhalen. Zij maakte reizen over de hele wereld, en schreef daar een groot aantal boeken over. Zij bereidt haar reizen nauwgezet voor. Zij geeft samenvattingen van hetgeen in de literatuur over bepaalde gebieden te vinden is. Zij dringt telkens diep in de binnenlanden door van de gebieden waar zij – te voet of met de fiets – doorheen reist, en voert gesprekken met “hoog en laag”. Door de weergave daarvan geeft zij een goed beeld van de omstandigheden waarin mensen leven, van hun opvattingen, en van de oorzaken ten gevolge waarvan vooruitgang stagneert. Zij schreef ook een boek over rassenbetrekkingen in Engeland. Er is onder haar naam veel informatie op internet te vinden. In het Nederlandse taalgebied is zij weinig bekend. Er is slechts één boek van haar vertaald: Eight feet in the Andes, (Voetsporen in de Andes), vertaald door Han Visserman en verschenen bij uitgeverij Veen.
