Prêt à tout risquer pour entrer dans l'Histoire, l'aventurier affronte animaux sauvages et tribus indigènes. Mais, bientôt, Fawcett ne donne plus aucun signe de vie.

“Food and travel are natural companions,” writes guest editor Padma Lakshmi. From this pairing comes “the possibility of seeing anew, of examining how we make and assign meaning.” The essays in this year’s Best American Food and Travel Writing circle the world—from Dakar in Senegal, to Michoacán in south-central Mexico, to the Camino de Santiago in Spain—and deepen our understanding of our place in it.

Story
From a magical childhood in Kenya, through misery at an American high school, to rescue by an inspirational teacher in England, Victoria Whitworth weaves a sublimely rich narrative, which is both an ode to her beloved Greece and Corfu, and a highly original exploration of myth and legend. Her adventures in the often weird and unsettling world of a Corinth English language school, and the shattering experience of her rape by a Greek taxi driver, lead Victoria to question some deeply familiar stories.

Story
This is what it is like to sail an ocean alone. Not the world-girdling marathon of the Southern Ocean racers or the “cruise in company” as part of a trade-wind rally, but what it is really like to set off for 3,496 miles from the British Virgin Islands to Falmouth in the UK, totally alone. That means no contact with the shore, no high-frequency radio or satphone. No weather forecasts, no texts from loved ones. No news…Just complete and uninterrupted isolation for 44 days. In other words, this is singlehanded ocean sailing at its purest: One man in a world shrunk to its bare essentials.

While serving on a mission trip to Rwanda, I wrote the affirmations contained in this book. It was my first time to the continent, on the heels of a broken relationship. As I watched the people of the land, I noticed something peculiar. It was gratitude. A radical and divine idea occurred to me in that moment. I am loved, I am ordained and I belong on this planet at this time. A lifetime of seeking to prove I belong had distracted me from that realization.

Auf der Suche nach Inspiration und dem in Einklang bringen seiner Gedanken mit der eigenen Kunst und der der griechischen Antike begibt sich Hofmannsthal zur Wiege aller demokratischen Gesellschaftsordnungen – nach Griechenland. Die Reise verläuft allerdings alles andere als, sagen wir, vorauszusehen war, denn der Besuch zweier traditionell-orthodoxer Glaubenseinrichtungen erzeugt eine nicht unbedingt gewünschte nachhaltige Wirkung in Form eines transzendentalen Traumzustands.
