Description
|
|
|
|
The "world's most perceptive travel writer" (Daily Mail, London), Paul Theroux celebrates 50 years of wandering the globe in this collection of travel writing, presented in this journal-like book with a pebbled flexible cover and elastic band. Part philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, The Tao of Travel enumerates "The Things They Carried"; exposes "Writers and the Places They Never Visited"; ponders "Travel as an Ordeal"; and lists "Five Travel Epiphanies." Throughout, the author quotes from dozens of literary travelers and profiles such figures as Vladimir Nabokov, Jack Kerouac, Henry David Thoreau, Graham Greene, and Ernest Hemingway.
