Full Description
Cadogan's Much Have I Travell'd, the first substantial companion of travel quotations to be published in the UK, is a lively compilation of travel and exploration in all its guises, from the conquering of Mount Everest to the unforgettable words of the love torn lovers in Brief Encounter. It ranges from the ancient world to the present day including quotes from Alice In Wonderland, Spenser's Faerie Queen, Wordsworth, Keats, Yeats, Blake, Dorothy Parker, Hazlitt, Samuel Pepys to novelists Austen, Henry Miller and Hemingway, resulting in a beautiful, intelligent and immensely readable book. With a scope that traverses Xenophon, Jules Verne, Marco Polo, the pioneers of the Wild West, Captain Cook, the Antarctic explorers, Neil Armstrong, Shakespeare, Dickens, Voltaire and other classical authors; alongside contemporary authors and travellers from Alex Garland to Sara Wheeler, this collection will take the reader from Persia to Wonderland via the rolling southern seas. An exhilarating mix of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, Much Have I Travell'd is the perfect book for anyone who has travelled or wants to enjoy the riches of travel quotations.
