TraveLit--A blog about travel literature. 

     Even with the best of maps and instruments, we can never fully chart our journeys.

Book Recommendation

The Unknown Islands, Raul Brandao, Tagus Press, originally published 1926.

 

Writing in the TLS, Bernhard Malkmus calls The Unknown Islands, by Raul Brandao,  a "beautifully crafted account of the social life and natural history of the Azores archipelago" and recommends David Brookshaw's "sensitive and nuanced translation--the first in English."
