Description
|
|
|
|
Here Paul Theroux, the "world's most perceptive travel writer" (Daily Mail, London), celebrates 50 years of wandering the globe by collecting the best writing on travel from the books that shaped him, as a reader and a traveler. Part philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, The Tao of Travel enumerates "The Contents of Some Travellers' Bags" and exposes "Writers Who Wrote About Places They Never Visited"; tracks extreme journeys in "Travel As An Ordeal" and highlights some "Travellers' Favourite Places." Excerpts from Theroux's own work are interspersed with selections from such travelers as Vladimir Nabokov, Jack Kerouac, Henry David Thoreau, Graham Greene, and Ernest Hemingway.
