Whether it’s a snowy trek through
Bohemia’s remote Jizera Mountains or a cruise across the
Great Lakes on a cargo ship, the journey itself is the destination in the
Road, Rail & Trail volume of TASCHEN’s Explorer series with
The New York Times.
Follow Virginia Woolf’s footsteps as you explore gardens in the
English countryside with Francine Prose. Marvel at
India’s vibrant bird life with Somini Sengupta. Or sit back and watch
Siberia’s moonlit forests and Soviet-era relics zip by from the comfort of a train with Finn-Olaf Jones. The
Times writers are your guides through
25 dream trips, and the wealth of color photographs that accompany their writing capture the beauty and unique spirit of both far-flung and familiar locales.
The
Explorer series takes travel beyond the obvious with
adventures in exotic places and new perspectives in familiar ones, all based on the
distinguished travel journalism from The New York Times. Each journey features a first-person narrative and postcard-perfect photography that capture the
unique personality of the destination—as well as practical information to help get you on your way. Edited by
Barbara Ireland, whose
36 Hours travel series has been a TASCHEN best seller, the
Explorer series is available in four volumes:
Beaches, Islands & Coasts;
Mountains, Deserts & Plains;
Cities & Towns; and
Road, Rail & Trail.
