Book Reviews of Tales from Nowhere (Travel Literature)
Book Review: Where in the world
Summary: 3 Stars
This Lonely Planet published book gathers a plethora of stories from travel writers and news correspondents about times they spent in what seemed like absolutely nowhere. The stories are fairly short and for the most part interesting. As expected, being nowhere with seemingly nothing being remarkable will of course end up being a place that is special and will hold fond memories for you. There are stories of growth, finding oneself, kick starting your life, and a misadventure or two.
This book doesn't need read cover to cover straight through. Instead you should just read a story or two now and then. For me, I got rather bored about 2/3 of the way through the book. Spread out your reading for this one and it will be a much more enjoyable book. Mostly decent stories but a couple duds too.
Summary of Tales from Nowhere (Travel Literature)
We've all been to Nowhere. It might have been in the middle of Borneo or Beijing. It might have been in a Mayan mountain village, along a time-worn trail in Tuscany, on an isolated South Pacific island, or under a desert moon in Mali. Nowhere is a setting, a situation and a state of mind. It's not on any map, but you know ti when you're there.Full of passion, surprise, wonder, curiosity and revelation, the 30 real-life tales in this extraordinary collection compose a kaleidoscopic portrait of the many Nowheres we visit in our lives, and the many roads we take to get there.
These richly varied tales all celebrate and illuminate one simple truth: if we embark on each adventure with an open heart and an open mind, travel will take us places we never planned to go, and enrich and enlighten us in ways we never otherwise would have known.
