Travel art

One of the greatest voices in the world of modern philosophy; author of "Lessons of Love" and "Comforts of Philosophy" and "Anxiety of Seeking Status" offers us a travel guide, but a different guide: an exploration of what makes us travel, and what we learn along the way. Few activities promise us many pleasures equal to what travel promises: going to another place, a distant place with a climate, customs, and sights more beautiful. But, with many tips about the places we travel to, we rarely ask about the reason that makes us go and how we can become more satisfied and fulfilled when we travel. Relying on a select group of writers, artists, and thinkers, among them Flaubert, Edward Hopper, Wordsworth, Van Gogh, Alain de Botton offers valuable ideas. It is a perfect antidote to those guidance notes that tell us what we should do. The book "The Art of Travel" tries to offer us useful suggestions so we can be happier in our travels.
