The Art of Travel
by Alain de Botton
Price: US$23.00
Aside from love, few activities seem to promise us as
much happiness as going traveling: taking off for somewhere
else, somewhere far from home, a place with more interesting
weather, customs, and landscapes. But although we are
inundated* with advice on where to travel, few people seem to
talk about why we should go and how we can become more
fulfilled* by doing so.
In The Art of Travel, Alain de Botton explores what the
point of travel might be and modestly suggests how we can
learn to be a little happier in our travels.
An experienced traveler, De Botton here offers nine
essays concerning the art of travel. The book is divided into
five sections -- "Departure," "Motives," "Landscape," "Art"
and "Return." De Botton's style is very thoughtful*; he
considers events of the moment and shows how experiences from
the past affect the present.

Movement, Kiss and Tell, How Proust Can Change Your Life, and
