Ibn Battutah set out in 1325 from his native Tangier on the
pilgrimage to Mecca. By the time he returned twenty-nine years
later, he had visited most of the known world, travelling three
times the distance Marco Polo covered. Spiritual backpacker, social
climber, temporary hermit and failed ambassador, he braved
brigands, blisters and his own prejudices. The outcome was a
monumental travel classic. Captivated by this indefatigable man,
award-winning travel writer Tim Mackintosh-Smith set out on his own
eventful journey, retracing the Moroccan's eccentric trip from
Tangier to Constantinople. Tim proves himself a perfect companion
to this distant traveller, and the result is an amazing blend of
personalities, history and contemporary observation.
