| Summary | Annotation <div>Since 1993, readers have looked to <i>Travelers' Tales</i> for award-winning stories about the world, adventure, spirituality, and the transformative experiences that accompany life on the road. <i>The Best Travel Writing 2008</i> is the fifth volume in the series launched in 2004 to celebrate the world's best travel writing — much of it never before published — from Nobel Prize winners to up-and-coming new writers. The stories provide a perspective and depth of understanding that can only come from people who have actually been there, and encompass everything from high adventure to misadventure, spiritual growth to romance, service to humanity to encounters with exotic cuisines. Reading the book is like sitting in a café filled with fellow travelers, swapping tales about destinations near and far — readers emerge changed, eager for more, and ready to plan their next trips.</div> |
