Description
The Best Travel Writing 2008 is the fifth volume in the annual Travelers' Tales series launched in 2004 to celebrate the world's best travel writing—from Nobel Prize winners to emerging new writers. The points of view and perspectives are global, and themes encompass high adventure, spiritual growth, romance, hilarity and misadventure, service to humanity, and encounters with exotic cuisine. Kayak a wild, flooding river in the Peruvian Amazon, hear the singing sand dunes on the Skeleton Coast in Namibia, fathom the scale of the universe and the scope of the earth on a years-long sailing voyage, travel on horseback over the Mongolian steppes to the fabled city of Karakorum, discover the dark side of paradise on the island of Tortola, redefine the meaning of "Adventure Traveler" in Thailand, and much more. With an introduction by Sara Wheeler.
First Sentence
