Famous travel writers and examples of their work

Bruce Chatwin : The songlines

Michael Palin : Hemingway Adventure

East of Venice the landscape patterns change. Dead straight roads, canals, power cables and thefresh-ploughed furrows of the fields bisect, criss-cross and converge on each other like lines on aMondrian painting.

We put up at a hotel in Noventa di Piave, a tiny town with the second tallest bell tower in the Vénetooutside St Mark’s Square, a pizzeria called ‘Smack!’ and a smoky café where the old men gather toplay cards. Eat good plain food washed down with jugs of prosecco, the local sparkling white wine, ina busy local restaurant.

Later, before bed, read a few more pages of A Farewell to Arms with a keener pleasure than usual,knowing that I am now only one and a half miles from the tiny town of Fossalta, the place where thestory was born.

New York Times: Robyn Eckhardt about Thailand

WITH cinderblock walls, a dirt floor and a sign warning against dancing and “boom-boom” in themezzanine, Heaven Beach, a club in Chiang Mai, Thailand, will never be accused of design excess.Then again, the predominantly young posse of foreigners and natives moshing to the energetic metal,grunge and rap sets by the Thai band Nyok aren’t there for the décor.This doorless dive — more barn than bar, really — in the seedy backpacker quarterwithin the crumbling walls of Old Chiang Mai might be the last place you’d expect tohear guitar solos as spectacularly executed as those performed by Lek Surindon,Nyok’s self-taught lead guitarist. But Heaven Beach (48 Building 7, RatchawithiRoad; no phone) and its popular house band offer just a taste of the vibrant anddiverse live music scene that’s taken hold in this laid-back northern city.

Stefan Zweig: Brazil – Land of the future

Stanfords.co.uk: Marina De Santis about Uluru

There is nothing I can do about it now. I climbed Ayers Rock (Uluru in Aboriginal) andI wish I hadn't. The red monolith that stands today as one of the most recognisablesymbols of Australia is a sacred site to the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu. TheAnangu don't like people climbing the Rock for two main reasons: firstly, because theclimb to the top follows the steps of their ancestors and has strong spiritual meaningsassociated to it; secondly, the Anangu feel responsible for anything that happens tovisitors on their land and people have fallen off the Rock and died.

Charles Bruce Chatwin (13 May 1940 – 18 January 1989) was an English novelist and travel writer. He won theJames Tait Black Memorial Prize for his novel On the Black Hill (1982). Married and bisexual, he was one of thefirst prominent men in England known to have contracted HIV and died of AIDS, although he hid the facts of hisillness.

In 1972, Chatwin was hired by the Sunday Times Magazine as an adviser on art and architecture.[10] Hisassociation with the magazine cultivated his narrative skills. Chatwin travelled on many international assignments,writing on such subjects as Algerian migrant workers and the Great Wall of China, and interviewing such diversepeople as André Malraux[11] in France, and the poet Nadezhda Mandelstam[12] in the Soviet Union.

In 1972, Chatwin interviewed the 93-year-old architect and designer Eileen Gray in her Paris salon, where henoticed a map of the area of South America called Patagonia, which she had painted.[13] "I've always wanted togo there," Bruce told her. "So have I," she replied, "go there for me." Two years later in November 1974, Chatwinflew out to Lima in Peru, and reached Patagonia a month later.[14] When he arrived, he left the newspaper with atelegram: "Have gone to Patagonia." He spent six months in the area, a trip which resulted in the book InPatagonia (1977). This work established his reputation as a travel writer. Later, however, residents in the regioncontradicted the account of events depicted in Chatwin's book. It was the first, but not the last time in his career,that conversations and characters which Chatwin presented as fact were alleged to have been fictionalised.

Later works included a novel based on the slave trade, The Viceroy of Ouidah, which he researched withextended stays in Benin, West Africa. For The Songlines (1987), a work combining fiction and non-fiction,Chatwin went to Australia. He studied the culture to express how the songs of the Aborigines are a cross betweena creation myth, an atlas and an Aboriginal man's personal story. He also related the travelling expressed in TheSonglines to his own travels and the long nomadic past of humans.

Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, his novel On the Black Hill (1982) was set closer to home, in thehill farms of the Welsh Borders. It focuses on the relationship between twin brothers, Lewis and Benjamin, whogrow up isolated from the course of twentieth century history. Utz (1988), his last book, was a novel about theobsession which leads people to collect. Set in Prague, the novel details the life and death of Kaspar Utz, a manobsessed with the collection of Meissen porcelain. Chatwin was working on a number of new ideas for futurenovels at the time of his death in 1989, including a trans-continental epic, provisionally titled Lydia Livingstone.

Zweig was the son of Moritz Zweig (1845–1926), a wealthy Jewish textile manufacturer, and Ida Brettauer (1854–1938), from a Jewish banking family. Joseph Brettauer did business for twenty years in Ancona, Italy, where hissecond daughter Ida was born and grew up, too. Zweig studied philosophy at the university of Vienna and in1904 earned a doctoral degree with a thesis on "The Philosophy of Hippolyte Taine". Religion did not play acentral role in his education. "My mother and father were Jewish only through accident of birth," Zweig said laterin an interview. Yet he did not renounce his Jewish faith and wrote repeatedly on Jewish themes. Although hisessays were published in the Neue Freie Presse, whose literary editor was the Zionist leader Theodor Herzl,Zweig was not attracted to Herzl's Jewish nationalism.

In the First World War Zweig served in the Archives of the Ministry of War, and soon acquired a pacifist stand likehis friend Romain Rolland, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1915. Zweig remained pacifist all his life andadvocated the unification of Europe. Like Rolland, he wrote many biographies. His Erasmus of Rotterdam hecalled a "concealed self-portrayal" in The World of Yesterday.

Zweig fled Austria in 1934, following Hitler's rise to power in Germany. He then lived in England (in London andfrom 1939 in Bath) before moving to the United States in 1940. In 1941 he went to Brazil, where in 1942 he andhis second wife Charlotte Elisabeth Altmann committed suicide together in Petrópolis.[2][3] He had beendespairing at the future of Europe and its culture. "I think it better to conclude in good time and in erect bearing alife in which intellectual labour meant the purest joy and personal freedom the highest good on Earth," he wrote.

Stefan Zweig was a prominent writer in the 1920s and 1930s. Though he is still well-known in many Europeancountries, his work has become less familiar in the anglophone world. Since the 1990s there has been an efforton the part of several publishers (notably Pushkin Press and New York Review of Books) to get Zweig back intoprint in English.

Zweig is best known for his novellas (notably The Royal Game, Amok, Letter from an Unknown Woman - filmed in1948 by Max Ophuls), novels (Beware of Pity, Confusion of Feelings, and the posthumously published The PostOffice Girl) and biographies (notably Erasmus of Rotterdam, Conqueror of the Seas: The Story of Magellan, andMary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles). At one time his works were published in English under the pseudonym'Stephen Branch' (a translation of his real name) when anti-German sentiment was running high. His biography ofQueen Marie-Antoinette was later adapted for a Hollywood movie, starring the actress Norma Shearer in the titlerole.

Zweig enjoyed a close association with Richard Strauss, and provided the libretto for Die schweigsame Frau (TheSilent Woman). Strauss famously defied the Nazi regime by refusing to sanction the removal of Zweig's namefrom the program[4] for the work's première on June 24, 1935 in Dresden. As a result, Goebbels refused to attendas planned, and the opera was banned after three performances. Zweig later collaborated with Joseph Gregor, toprovide Strauss with the libretto for one other opera, Daphne, in 1937. At least[5] one other work by Zweigreceived a musical setting: the pianist and composer Henry Jolles, who like Zweig had fled to Brazil to escape theNazis, composed a song, "Último poema de Stefan Zweig",[6] based on "Letztes Gedicht", which Zweig wrote onthe occasion of his 60th birthday in November 1941.[7]

There are important Zweig collections at the British Library and at the State University of New York at Fredonia.The British Library's Zweig Music Collection was donated to the library by his heirs in May 1986. It specialises inautograph music manuscripts, including works by Bach, Haydn, Wagner, and Mahler. It has been described as"one of the world's greatest collections of autograph manuscripts".[8] One particularly precious item is Mozart's"Verzeichnüß aller meiner Werke"[9] - that is, the composer's own handwritten thematic catalogue of his works.

William McGuire "Bill" Bryson, OBE, (born December 8, 1951) is a best-selling American author of humorousbooks on travel, as well as books on the English language and on scientific subjects. Born an American, he wasa resident of North Yorkshire, UK, for most of his professional life before moving back to the US in 1995. In 2003Bryson moved back to the UK and currently lives in Norfolk.In 1995, Bryson returned to the United States to live in Hanover, New Hampshire, for some years, the stories ofwhich feature in his book I'm A Stranger Here Myself, alternatively titled Notes from a Big Country in the UnitedKingdom, Canada and Australia. During his time in the United States, Bryson decided to walk the AppalachianTrail with his friend Stephen Katz (a pseudonym), about which he wrote the book A Walk in the Woods. In 2003the Brysons and their four children returned to the UK, and now live in Norfolk.

Also in 2003, in conjunction with World Book Day, voters in the United Kingdom chose Bryson's book Notes froma Small Island as that which best sums up British identity and the state of the nation.[1] In the same year, he wasappointed a Commissioner for English Heritage.

In 2004, Bryson won the prestigious Aventis Prize for best general science book with A Short History of NearlyEverything.[2] This 500-page popular literature piece explores not only the histories and current statuses of thesciences, but also reveals their humble and often humorous beginnings. Although one "top scientist" is alleged tohave jokingly described the book as "annoyingly free of mistakes",[3] Bryson himself makes no such claim, and alist of nine reported errors in the book is available online, identifying the chapter in which each appears but withno page or line references. In 2005, the book won the EU Descartes Prize for science communication.[2]Bryson in the regalia of Chancellor of Durham University, with the Cathedral in the background

Bryson has also written two popular works on the history of the English language — Mother Tongue and Made inAmerica — and, more recently, an update of his guide to usage, Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words(published in its first edition as The Penguin Dictionary of Troublesome Words in 1983). These books werepopularly acclaimed and well-reviewed, though they received criticism from academics in the field, who claimedthey contained factual errors, urban myths, and folk etymologies.
