256 pages of travels

Because a journey brings up emotions, questions and self-reflection, many globetrotters need words to understand and share their adventures. These short pieces are drawn from the hundreds of notebooks that surprised, amused, moved or disenchanted travellers have been sending to Bouts du monde magazine for years. These sentences — grave or light, but always sincere — offer a fresh look at the world. Brèves de voyages gathers extracts from stories drawn from the adventures of anonymous explorers, amateur or seasoned. In an era when social media teaches us to chirp in 140 characters, these short pieces are best enjoyed like a good tweet: in a tasty glance. This book is an invitation to travel, to be shared at the departures counter — a full-of-promise appetiser.
