　　Paul Theroux celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe by

collecting the best writing on travel from the books that shaped

him, as a reader and a 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:

Vladimir Nabokov J.R.R. Tolkien

Samuel Johnson Eudora Welty

Evelyn Waugh Isak Dinesen

Charles Dickens James Baldwin

Henry David Thoreau Pico Iyer

Mark Twain Anton Chekhov

Bruce Chatwin John McPhee

Freya Stark Peter Matthiessen

Graham Greene Ernest Hemingway

The Tao of Travel is a unique tribute to the pleasures and pains

of travel in its golden age.
