This is the gripping story of a young Japanese dancer who tours Europe by train. New cities and new faces, unusual dreams and daydreams. You read it and dream of going on such a trip. At least some kind of a trip :)
3. Paul Bowles "Under the Cover of Heaven"
Paul Bowles is a famous American writer, composer and translator, who gave the world many interesting books, and the best of them is rightly considered "Under the Cover of Heaven". The novel tells about the journey of a young married couple in South Africa.
The author describes the unfamiliar and sometimes wild landscapes and local customs in a surprisingly subtle way. The book can safely be called a warning to all adventurers. Bowles writes about all the disadvantages of such adventures, as well as, at first glance, insignificant mistakes that can lead to a fatal finale. Still, a very exciting read!
4. John Krakauer's "Into the Wild"
Jon Krakauer is one of the world's most famous writers, and part-time mountaineer and journalist. And "Into the Wild" is his bestselling book based on real events.
This is the story of a young boy, Christopher McCandless, who left behind all his achievements and incredible prospects, gave up his money and set off on a long journey across America. The further Christopher traveled, the fewer signs of civilization there were.
Both the book and the movie based on it still inspire many to travel to Alaska, where the beautiful and dramatic climax of the story of the young romantic takes place.
5. Alex Garland's "The Beach"
The story of three young travelers who found a true paradise on earth. A picturesque lagoon, white and soft sand, warm sun, impressive waterfalls... what could be more beautiful?
