The travel experience filled with personal trauma; the pilgrimage through a war-torn place; the journey with those suffering: these represent the darker sides of travel. What is their allure and how are they represented? This volume takes an ethnographic and interdisciplinary approach to explore the writings and texts of dark journeys and travels. In traveling over the dead, amongst the dying, and alongside the suffering, the authors give us a tour of humanity’s violence and misery. And yet, from this dark side, there comes great beauty and poignancy in the characterization of plight; creativity in the comic, graphic, and graffiti sketches and comments on life; and the sense of profound and spiritual journeys being undertaken, recorded, and memorialized.

A feast of fiction for armchair travelers Nineteen of our most exciting writers chronicle trips and travails, voyages and visits, and moments of triumph, tragedy, and transcendence. They explore such diverse locales as Australia's living Great Barrier Reef; a temple in Thailand filled with shimmering Buddhas; a bizarre street performance by a traveling circus in Freiburg, Germany; Inca ruins in Peru; Bulgaria's Black Sea coast; and many other places which, whether exotic or familiar, have never been seen in quite this way before.

Brought to life by colourful and endearing illustrations, this nursery song and rhyme are presented in an infant-friendly cloth book format.

The passionate man who loves with strength and lives with violence... The silent, lonely boy who exists in a world of strange loves and longings... The evil, terrifying creature of the night, which destroys as it clings, which consumes as it touches... Through a nightmare world of fear and forbidden emotions, man and boy move irrevocably towards the blinding moment of confrontation with the night creature – to the shattering revelation that they are all THE DARK TRAVELER. This gripping novel by Pulitzer Prize winning author Josephine Johnson, first published in 1963, tells the tale of a man imprisoned by a strange passions and violent fears, and of a woman who has pledged to lead him out of the darkness.

One of the best travel writers now at work in the English language brings back the sights and sounds from a dozen different frontiers. A cryptic encounter in the perfumed darkness of Bali; a tour of a Bolivian prison, conducted by an enterprising inmate; a nightmarish taxi ride across southern Yemen, where the men with guns may be customs inspectors or revolutionaries–these are just three of the stops on Pico Iyer’s latest itinerary. But the true subject of Sun After Dark is the dislocations of the mind in transit. And so Iyer takes us along to meditate with Leonard Cohen and talk geopolitics with the Dalai Lama. He navigates the Magritte-like landscape of jet lag, “a place that no human had ever been until forty or so years ago.” And on every page of this poetic and provocative book, he compels us to redraw our map of the world.
