Rezensionen

'This is a must read for lovers of literature, especially those with a lust for travel. But the book is much more than this in that it opens windows allowing the reader to view travel with fresh horizons. As Christie said, quoted in The Writer's Journey, "Not until you travel alone do you realize how much the outside world will protect and befriend you." The Writer's Journey can be your friend.'
