He gets caught up with questions of travel, noting his reaction to the idea of leaving or arriving, to hurry and delay, what it means to dread a place you’ve never been to or to encounter the actuality of a long-held vision. He is sensitive to the emotional landscape of his band of travelers and, above all, continuously analyzing and fixing this “most romantic of all deserts.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lavinia Greenlaw follows in his footsteps, and interposes his prose with her own “questions of travel.” The result is a new and composite work that brilliantly explores our conflicted reasons for not staying at home.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50964289290528,"sku":"9781907903182","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781907903182.jpg?v=1764020685","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/questions-of-travel","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
