From Homer’s Odyssey, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, and Cervantes’ Don Quixote to Melville’s Moby-Dick, Kerouac’s On the Road, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, some of the most powerful works of fiction center on a journey. Editor and writer John McMurtrie takes you on a voyage of discovery through journeys in literature that extend to the ends of the earth and span from ancient Greece to today.
Drawing on essays by literary critics, scholars, and other writers, he explores exciting, dangerous, tragic, and uplifting journeys from three of the more than 75 classic and popular works of fiction represented in his new illustrated guide, Literary Journeys: Mapping Fictional Travels across the World of Literature.
