A chronicle of travels, some homely some exotic, from the man who
can make a schoolboy holiday in Swanage as colourful as a walk in
the Hindu Kush. Eric Newby's life of travel began in 1919, on
pram-ride adventures with his mother into the dark streets of
Barnes and the chaotic jungles of Harrods, and progressed to solo,
school-bound adventures around the slums of darkest Hammersmith.
His interest piqued, Newby's wanderlust snowballed, and his
adventures multiplied, as he navigated the London sewer system,
bicycled to Italy and meandered the wilds of New York's Broadway.
Whether travelling abroad as a high-fashion buyer for a British
department store or for pure adventure as a travel writer, even
when reluctantly participating in a tiger shoot in India, Newby
chronicles his adventures with verve, humour and infectious
enthusiasm. After nine years as the travel editor for the Observer,
Newby reluctantly gave up the post, eschewing the new form of
human-as-freight travel. However, this change was certainly no pity
for his readers, as the latter-day Newby continued on his
unwavering quest for fascinating detail and adventure wherever he
roamed, whether on two feet or two wheels. 'A Traveller's Life'
chronicles the incredible adventures of one of the best-loved tour
guides in the history of travel writing.
