A landmark work of travel writing, Journey Without Maps chronicles Graham Greene's remarkable 1935 trek through the unmapped interior of Liberia, West Africa, undertaken with his cousin Barbara Greene. Written with the same literary precision and psychological depth that defined his celebrated novels, the narrative strips away the veneer of civilisation to confront questions of identity, fear, and the seductive pull of the primitive. Greene details the gruelling four-week journey on foot through dense jungle, navigating poverty, disease, and political instability while also conducting an unflinching examination of his own psyche. Haunting and beautifully rendered, the book stands as both a gripping adventure account and a profound meditation on what it means to return — geographically and spiritually — to something older and more elemental.
