Stevenson, Conrad, Segalen, and Bouvier. . . . Some went to the ends of the Earth in pursuit of dreams evoked by their childhood storybooks; others – Kipling, London, Kessel, and Chatwin – went on the road looking for stories to fi ll the pages that they longed to write. Curious and untiring, these men and women recorded their experiences day after day: the trials they endured, the encounters that moved them, and the stories they heard. Travel transformed them, and they described this metamorphosis when they returned home, putting their adventures down on paper, often romanticizing or embellishing them. Regardless of whether they were travelers before becoming writers, or writers and then travelers, they all share one goal: to awaken in us a thirst for distant horizons and to pass on their passion for adventure.
