The Traveller's Bookshelf
Three books to read beside someone.
Venice by Jan Morris — a portrait of the city first published in 1960 under another title. Read it for the sentences.
The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen — an account of a 1973 trek in the Himalaya, as much about grief and attention as about mountains. Read it for the stillness.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Matsuo Basho — a seventeenth-century Japanese travel diary in prose and haiku. Read it for how little it takes to make a journey.
Prices, dates, permits and rules change — approximate, verify before you travel. Researched from public sources; field verification pending.
