Paul Theroux celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe in this collection of the best writing from the books that have shaped him as a reader and a traveler. Part philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, The Tao of Travel contains excerpts from the best of Theroux€s own work interspersed with selections from travelers both familiar and unexpected:
Vladimir Nabokov     Eudora Welty Evelyn Waugh      James Baldwin Charles Dickens      Pico Iyer Henry David Thoreau     Anton Chekhov Mark Twain     John McPhee Freya Stark     Ernest Hemingway Graham Greene     and many others
€œDazzling . . . Like someone panning for gold, Theroux reread hundreds of travel classics and modern works, shaking out the nuggets.€ €" San Francisco Chronicle
