In its pages we encounter an astonishing assortment of people-at leisure, at war, in grand luxury and great discomfort, running away and coming home. It is an invitation not just to visit the predictable destinations in the travel genre, but to explore the backroads of its varied terrain. From Simone de Behavior to Martin Luther King, from Buddha to van Gogh, Journeys hops over the self-imposed borders of travel writing to reveal our inner and outer worlds in a multitude of captivating voices.EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWSWonderfully rich and various-THE TIMESFrom the familiar to the exotic, the collection is a delight.
