The Way of the World

The Way of the World

by Nicolas Bouvier  •  Patrick Leigh Fermor (Foreword)

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2009
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES

Setting out in the 1950s from Switzerland with good friend Thierry Vernet (whose photographs are included in this edition), Bouvier captures the romance, gritty reality and thrill of the road in this account of hard travel across Europe through Asia, a journey, he notes, that took longer than Marco Polo's.  (TVL137, $16.95)
