From Hemingway to Dickens, from Nabokov to Twain, from Isak Dinesen to Graham Greene, many of the world’s great writers were also great travel writers. Paul Theroux, arguably the most renowned living travel writer, has capped a fifty year writing career with 'The Tao of Travel', a collection of travel stories – by himself and others. Join us for a trip around the world with the man who gave us 'The Great Railway Bazaar', 'The Old Patagonian Express', 'To the Ends of the Earth', and other classics of the genre.
