The Traveller: Observations from an American in Exile

Description

Traveller is a collection of letters, journal entries and photographs that combine the immediacy of experience with reflections on the author's own past. The entries in this volume are personal, like letters from a friend you accompany through the medina in Fez or into the hills of Gallipoli, who introduces you to the people he meets along the way. For anyone curious about the world, Traveller is sure to delight and inspire thought about the complex world around us.
