This unique double edition brings together Henry Fielding's two voyage narratives. The Journey (1743) is a powerful satire on contemporary follies in the form of a journey through the underworld. The Journal, published posthumously in 1755, recounts Fielding's last adventure when, seriously ill, he set sail for Lisbon hoping to recover there.

The Tao of Travel
Author: Paul TherouxPublisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547549199
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
The acclaimed author explores the greatest travel writing by literary adventurers from Freya Stark and James Baldwin to Nabokov and Hemmingway. Paul Theroux celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe with this meditative journey through the books that shaped him as a reader and traveler. Part philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, The Tao of Travel enumerates “The Contents of Some Travelers’ Bags” and exposes “Writers Who Wrote about Places They Never Visited”; tracks extreme journeys in “Travel as an Ordeal” and highlights some of “Travelers’ Favorite Places.” Excerpts from the best of Theroux’s own work are interspersed with selections from travelers both familiar and unexpected, including J.R.R. Tolkien, Samuel Johnson, Eudora Welty, Evelyn Waugh, Isak Dinesen, Charles Dickens, Henry David Thoreau, Pico Iyer, Mark Twain, Anton Chekhov, Bruce Chatwin, John McPhee, Peter Matthiessen, Graham Greene, Paul Bowles, and many more.
