Nomad's Hotel: Travels in Time and Space

Since making his first voyage as a sailor-to earn his passage from his native Holland to South America -- Cees Nooteboom
has been captivated by foreign countries & cultures & has never
stopped travelling. This collection of his most enjoyable travel pieces
ranges far & wide, informed throughout by the author's humanity & gentle humour.
From exotic locales such as Isfahan, the Gambia & Mali
to more familiar places such as Australia & Zurich, Nooteboom
reveals the world as he lives it, showing us the strangeness in places
we thought we knew & the familiarity of places most of us will never
visit. His phenomenal gifts as an observer & travel the wealth of his
reading & learning make him a delightful companion. Nomad's Hotel features an introduction from fellow world-class traveller & writer extraordinaire Alberto Manguel.
