Travel Narrative

For those who are avoiding travel by plane, by boat, by rail, or by car this summer, grab an armchair or a hammock and travel the world by book instead. Literati's travel narrative section is smail, but there are always plenty of great reads covering the near and far reaches of our planet. Since you can't browse our section in person, we've chosen a handful of books to highlight--just like the section itself, they are a mixture of classics and intriguing recent publications.
 
“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.” 
― Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life
