As Andrew McCarthy wrote in The New York Times Book Review, "For
more than 20 years, Travelers' Tales has been publishing books that
might best be described as the literary equivalent of a group of
travelers sitting around a dim cafe, sipping pints or prosecco and
trading their best stories." Now, new from Travelers' Tales comes
The Best Women's Travel Writing, Volume 12: True Stories from
Around the World-the latest collection in the best-selling,
award-winning series that invites you to ride shotgun alongside
intrepid female nomads as they wander the globe discovering new
places, faces, and facets of themselves. "In story after story,"
McCarthy wrote about the previous volume of The Best Women's Travel
Writing, "the refreshing absence of bluster and bravado, coupled
with the optimism necessary for bold travel, create a unifying
narrative that testifies to the personal value and cultural import
of leaving the perceived safety of home and setting out into the
wider world." The essays in this volume are as diverse as the
destinations, exploring themes of kindness, transformation, nature,
friendship, family, strength, and resilience. In The Best Women's
Travel Writing, Volume 12, you will... Settle a thirteen-year debt
in Cuba Learn to survive in the polar regions of Canada Witness an
amateur autopsy in Ireland Get chloroformed, robbed, read to, and
propositioned in Italy Summit Kilimanjaro in Tanzania Get lost and
found on a dark and rainy morning in northern France Find joy in
Azerbaijan while walking across two continents Explain American
reality TV to a bewildered bunch in Bolivia Fear for your life on a
stormy Adriatic Sea Bear witness at the site of a volcano disaster
in Indonesia Contemplate the perils of too much safety in Nepal Get
conned and taken for a ride in Colombia Track one of the world's
most elusive animals in India Travel the world on stolen plane
tickets Outgrow nihilism and embrace friendship at a convent in
Spain ...and much more!
