Lonely Planet: The world's leading travel guide publisher A
collection of great travel writing by authors from around the
globe, including original stories set in Scotland, Thailand,
Malaysia, Moldova, Tanzania, Austria and beyond, edited by
long-term Lonely Planet collaborator Don George. The 35 impassioned
stories included in this collection - of fortune tellers, tribal
baboon hunters, a friendly Japanese family, and other notable
characters - span a worldwide spectrum of themes, styles and
settings, but all show how travel in its unexpected turns tests and
teaches us, making us aware that we are resilient, that we are not
alone, and that there is so much love and connection to be had if
we open ourselves up. This collection affirms that if we follow the
compass of the heart, we will always find our way. Whether you read
the book on the road or in an armchair at home, these tales are
sure to entertain, amuse and inform you, and resonate long after
the book is finished. 'As you travel through these pages, may your
mind be widened, your spirit enlivened, and your own path
illuminated by these worldly word-journeys.' --Don George With
sparkling contributions from some of the most acclaimed names in
contemporary fiction and travel writing plus some new voices from
around the world, including: Ann Patchett, Francine Prose, TC
