The Tao Of Travel

Paul Theroux celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe by collecting the best writing on travel from the books that shaped him, as a reader and a traveller. 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 of `Travellers` Favourite Places`. Excerpts from the best of Theroux`s own work are interspersed with selections from travellers both familiar and unexpected, including Vladimir Nabokov, Henry David Thoreau, Graham Greene, Ernest Hemingway and more. “The Tao of Travel” is a unique tribute to the pleasures and pains of travel in its golden age.
