Along the road

1925 · Book · Aldous Huxley

Voyages and travelsBritish and irish fiction (fictional works by one author)

Die einen sind beruflich unterwegs, die anderen treibt die Sorge um ihre Gesundheit, doch sind es weder die Kranken noch die Geschäftsleute, die die Grandhotels und die Taschen ihrer Besitzer füllen, sondern jene, die, wie es so schön heißt, zum Vergnügen reisen.

Huxley reveals his thoughts on the subject of travelling in general and tourism in particular. He compares walking to motoring, looks for the traveller's-eye view in literature, weighs up his selection of guidebooks, and analyzes the effects of sunglasses on the landscape. by Aldous Huxley
