A Cult Classic, "The Way of the World" is one of the most beguiling
travel books ever written. Reborn from the ashes of a Pakistan
rubbish heap, it tells of a friendship between a writer and an
artist, forged on an impecunious, life-enhancing journey from
Serbia to Afghanistan in the 1950s. On one level it is a candid
description of a road journey, on another a meditation on travel as
a journey towards the self, all written by a sage with a golden pen
and a wide infectious smile. It is published here for the first
time in English with the Vernet drawings which are such a dynamic
part of its whole.
What makes Nicolas Bouvier such a well?loved travel writer is his
exquisite sensitivity to the beauties of life, and his ability to
capture those elusive moments in a style that is light, yet
pregnant with wonder. Whether he s delirious in the wintery Aran
Isles, where the air `unites the virtues of champagne, cocaine,
caffeine, and the ecstasy of love or singing the praises of his
Chinese tour guide, this collection of his shorter travel pieces
brims with his particular joie de vivre.
