War and Travel (Part 7 in the Guardian's '1000 Novels Everyone Must Read') - Page 3

"The last in our series is essentially about journeys. Some are journeys of leisure, the kind of expeditions into faraway lands and adventures in exotic locations we loved reading about as children: tall tales about treasure islands, daredevil pilots and colonial exploits. Many of them are journeys of warfare: novels that frequently draw on the authors' experience and capture the excitement as well as the horror of war.
A few of the novels are about adventure and travel in that more remote sense: they are about mental, or "psycho-geographical", journeys, where the movement of the feet is often little more than an alibi for an inward journey towards the self. The greatest novels about travel and adventure combine both: they explore the real landscape around us, as well as the wilderness within." (Guardian)
