Three Travelogues to Read This Fall
With summer travels winding down, autumn is a good time to turn to travelogues to satisfy one’s wanderlust. I have always been a fan of this genre, being a traveler myself, and recent releases promise to take us to far-flung locations. My favorite travelogues combine explorations of culture with history and provide a way to understand how the past influences the present.
A good traveler arrives at a place without strong preconceived notions and allows it to take them in–or reject them, as sometimes happens. This sensitivity is what distinguishes modern travel writing from classical examples, but all excellent travelogues share the same trait in that they transport the reader to another place. When our world feels narrower due to travel restrictions and cumbersome rules, opening a book is the easiest way to break down walls.
Victoria in Aphorismes by Dominique Ropion Innocent Tuberose : Perfume Review: I also liked it very much. I admit that I’m not a fan of the gold-and-more-gold aesthetic. Plus, the prices are very high. January 24, 2025 at 2:40pm
