This book is a distillation of the eJournal travelogue's best writing, the funniest stories, the most poignant and provocative essays, the finest examples of its lyrical, evocative prose. Movement is serious and playful, provocative and reflective, adventuresome and philosophical. There is rant and epiphany, joy and suffering, love and isolation, beauty and squalor. Reading it is a visit with an intimate friend-an incorrigible traveller-who spins spellbinding yarns, describes outlandish sights and shares the essential lessons gleaned from forgotten cultures. No one else has published an experience quite like it.
