A collection of stories of travel and adventure by some of the most feted travel writers of our time. 'We travel, initially, to lose ourselves: and we travel. next. to find ourselves.' Pico lyer writes in his introduction. 'We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again - to slow down time and get taken in, and fall in love once more.' Wanderlust consists of provocative and inspiring essays by writers who have contributed to the award-winning 'Wanderlust' website - writers such as Simon Winchester, Isabel Allende, Jan Morris, Pico lyer, Carlos Fuentes and Peter Mayle. This is an intelligent and captivating anthology.

We've all dreamt of escaping to a House Somewhere. In this collection some of the finest names in contemporary travel writing reveal the perils and pleasures of exchanging the familiar for the foreign. Isabel Allende discovers love and paradise in California, Pico Iyer finds home in Japan amidst the alien and indecipherable, and a dank barge on the Seine opens up a new side of Paris for Mort Rosenblum. Revealing the flip side to the dream, relocating to the juicy heart of New York proves fiery for Lily Brett, Chris Stewart is frightened for his life in Andalucia, and the plumbing in William Dalrymple's rooftop Delhi flat is held to ransom by his water-conserving landlady.
