The Gift of Rivers

Rivers are the theme of this new collection by US publishers Travelers` Tales. Among some of the acclaimed writers that appear in it is Isabel Allende with a piece on the Amazon River, Jan Morris on the Nile, Simon Winchester on the Yangtze. Human life probably developed along the banks of rivers, great civilizations certainly did. Once the easiest way of travelling, today rivers have been displaced by roads and air travel and have nearly disappeared from consciousness in the modern world. These often nostalgic tales help us bring rivers back on the map.
