Produktbeschreibung

Leaving a place we call home is an experience that we carry with us throughout our lives. Featuring influential essays and anecdotes by a range of classic writers and philosophers, this engrossing little book is the perfect gift for anyone on a journey, especially new graduates.

Coping with absence is explored by exiled Roman philosopher Seneca, reassuring his heartbroken mother from afar, whilst Mark Twain offers tongue-in-cheek advice to young people with his characteristic wit. The ups and downs of travelling somewhere alone or with company are highlighted by Gertrude Bell and Hilaire Belloc. Robert Louis Stevenson shows how to make the most of any new location, and Walt Whitman's poetry advocates for freedom and self-reliance.

Combining self-help, erudition, and healing wisdom, this is a book to treasure and to guide you through life. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
