Zusatztext "[A] witty book that bristles with outrageous assertions....Fussell obviously enjoys the act of writing about his reading, which is what makes the book so lively."--The Tribune (London) Klappentext An elegy for the lost art of travel-as opposed to today's tourism-Abroad is also a celebration of the British writers who memorialized the years between the two world wars as the last great age of travel. Zusammenfassung A book about the meaning of travel! about how important the topic has been for writers for two and a half centuries! and about how excellent the literature of travel happened to be in England and America in the 1920s and 30s.
