Selected by Robin Hanbury-Tenison, described by the Sunday Times as
the 'greatest explorer of the last twenty years', this is a
comprehensive anthology of the writings of explorers through the
ages, now fully revised and updated. The ultimate in travel
writing, these are the words of those who changed the world through
their pioneering search for new lands, new peoples, and new

Divided into geographical sections, the book takes us to Asia with
Vasco da Gama, Francis Younghusband, and Wilfred Thesiger, to the
Americas with John Cabot, Sir Francis Drake, and Alexander Von
Humboldt, to Africa with Dr David Livingstone and Mary Kingsley, to
the Pacific with Ferdinand Magellan and James Cook, and to the

discover that transcends all other considerations, the vivid
writings of these extraordinary people reveal what makes them go
beyond the possible and earn the right to be known as
