The Tao of Travel

"A book to be plundered and raided." -- New York Times Book Review
"A portal into a world of timeless travel literature curated by one of the greatest travel writers of our day." -- USA Today

Paul Theroux celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe in this collection of the best writing from the books that have shaped him as a reader and a traveler. Part philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, The Tao of Travel contains excerpts from the best of Theroux's own work interspersed with selections from travelers both familiar and unexpected.
