Compiled by the distinguished historian and writer John Julius Norwich, the collection gathers vivid firsthand accounts and literary passages that chronicle humanity's enduring fascination with distant lands, foreign cultures, and the transformative power of the journey itself. Norwich arranges the material thematically — covering topics such as modes of transport, the perils of the road, and the wonders of arrival — giving the anthology a satisfying structure that rewards both cover-to-cover reading and casual browsing. The tone throughout is witty, erudite, and warmly celebratory, reflecting Norwich's own lifelong passion for travel and his gift for unearthing the perfect anecdote or observation. A superb companion for armchair travelers and seasoned wanderers alike, it illustrates just how powerfully the written word can conjure the sights, sounds, and sensations of the wider world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820252377307,"sku":"2026200006475-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ed41ca3-7e24-481e-a530-904de98d8dc9.png?v=1780055767","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006475-secondhand-a-taste-for-travel-an-anthology","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
