Bøger af Lucy McCauley

Lucy McCauley collects women's travel stories, as they foray into the wilderness, kayak the whitewater of an exotic land, or bike the outback country.

Since the publication of A Woman’s World in 1995, Travelers’ Tales has been the recognized leader in women’s travel literature. This title presents stimulating, inspiring, and just plain wild adventures from women who have traveled to the ends of the earth to discover new places, peoples, and facets of themselves. The common threads connecting these stories are a woman’s perspective; fresh, lively storytelling; and compelling narrative that makes the reader laugh, weep, wish she was there, or be glad she wasn’t. Contributors include such luminaries as Frances Mayes, Barbara Kingsolver, and Diane Johnson. Kathleen Spivak’s “From the Window,” a bittersweet, beautifully written memoir of lost love in Paris, typifies the book. The points of view and perspectives are both personal and global, and the themes are as eclectic as in all of this series, including stories that encompass spiritual growth, hilarity and misadventure, high adventure, romance, solo journeys, stories of service to humanity, family travel, and encounters with exotic cuisine.

The latest edition of the annual collection of real-life womens' travel stories includes tales of travel to Senegal, Spain, Calcutta. France, Greece, and many other locales.

What's it like to be there? "Travellers' Tales" gives the best possible answer through the true stories of other travelers. Journey into Spain with some of the world's best writers, and discover a country of heightened senses, bougainvillea blossoming in crimson and orange, and air pungent with sizzling olive oil. A sensuous journey into a land of mystery and beauty.
