Ten timeless journeys by ten remarkable authors.

 

The Journeys series celebrates John Murray’s history of publishing exceptional travel writing by rediscovering classic journeys from the past, introduced by some of today’s most exciting writers.

 

From solo journeys through the Sahara to canoeing the length of the Mississippi, from the badlands of Utah’s canyons to the black tents of Central Asian nomads, from Calcutta to Samarkand, Afghanistan to Ethiopia, the series has captured the risk and wonder that comes from all good travelling, opening our imaginations to unfamiliar places and cultures. Spanning a period from the 1890s to the 1980s, these Journeys give fresh perspectives not only on the places and times in which they were originally published, but on the place and time we find ourselves in now.
