Rezensionen

Captivating... a collection that is filled with memorable brilliance.

If you have the slightest curiosity about the world beyond your living room, then this is a collection to die for. What could be a better way to raise funds for Oxfam than to collect these nuggets of worldly wisdom from a galaxy of the very best travel writers. It's impossible to read their contributions without wanting to go and get the rucksack out.

Lie back with a chilled glass of wine and enjoy this page-turner of chance meetings in bustling airports, ambushes in the Amazon and penguins in the Antarctic.

This is a rare collection in which the reader eagerly moves from one outstanding piece of writing to the next.

These piece capture a character, culture or country with the rough flourish of a charcoal sketch... you can happily feel you're getting something worthwhile in return for your coins. OxTravels is easily digestible, not quickly forgotten.

A rare congregation of talent

The result is stories as varied as birds in the Amazon jungle, as colourful as an Indian bazaar, as memorable as a Himalayan sunset.

This is a collection of sharp tales which take you straight to the point of a place...reading OxTravels is like landing somewhere you haven't been for a while and remembering how much you love the place... a reminder of how much I love travelling safely on the back of someone else's intimate words.... riveting... they leave you moved, long after you've stopped travelling

Richly rewarding in content

An ideal holiday companion

Inspiring

A colourful suitcase of stories... will whip up your wanderlust.

Engaging
