About this ebook
An engrossing collection of travel essays from esteemed writer Norman Lewis
Auberon Waugh called Norman Lewis “the best travel writer of our age, if not the best since Marco Polo,” and here, Lewis’s trademark elegant prose is on display, along with his uncanny ability to travel to a place at an important cultural moment. Whether hunting for treasure in Bolivia, discovering forgotten pyramids, or feeding sharks, he draws us into what he calls “the seductions of travel” with ease, delivering cultural experiences with his usual depth, integrity, and elegance.
