Travel Tales Galore
The Sep 06 issue of National Geographic Traveler has a comprehensive listing of classic travel books. As they say:
A good travel book has wings and the ability to transport us, word by word, tale by tale. It introduces us to the people and places that make travel—and, one could argue, life itself—worthwhile. Good travel stories are, in a word, magic.
The list includes such gems as Amsterdam by Geert Mak, Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer and In Tuscany by Frances Mayes and many many more. Check it out here.
