Excerpts from the best of Theroux's own work are interspersed with selections from travellers both familiar and unexpected, including Vladimir Nabokov, Henry David Thoreau, Graham Greene, Ernest Hemingway and more.The Tao of Travel is a unique tribute to the pleasures and pains of travel in its golden age.
