We love this photograph taken @llangwmlitfest earlier this month - clearly a good time was being had by all as @isambardwilkinson, Charles Emmerson and Leif Bersweden judge the best Lady Grantham competition at The Cottage Inn in Llangwm. Bard was appearing at the festival to talk about Travels in a Dervish Cloak - his time spent as a foreign correspondent in Pakistan. Hear more about the festival on @foxedquarterly ‘s latest podcast where Michael Pugh, the festival founder talks about the pitfalls and pleasures of setting up a literary festival.

‘Nicolas Bouvier was a writer of rare grace and subtlety. Every essay here shimmers with imaginative insight and wry humour. He has long been known to cognoscenti. Now, perhaps, his stature will be more widely recognised: one of the most brilliant, penetrating and individual travel writers of his time.’ Colin Thubron Eland are delighted to be publishing (for the first time in English, translated by Robyn Marsack), Nicolas Bouvier's SO IT GOES: Travels in the Aran Isles, Xian and places in between, the final element in their homage to Bouvier. So It Goes is a collection of Bouvier's best travel stories covering the Aran Isles, lowland Scotland, Islay, Xian, Korea and his childhood home, Switzerland. Publication date is the 10th October, but we have proof copies in the office now.

‘I go back to the work of Jonathan Raban very frequently, to be reminded what first-rate prose looks like on the page … Raban’s attachment to the sea and to the solitary journey brings out the very, very best in his writing and his caustic wit always gives an engrossing edge to tales of human bravery in a blighted world.’ Rose Tremain. If in need of some #holidayreading why not try Jonathan Raban? Eland publish five of his classic titles ‘Coasting’ ‘Arabia’ ‘Hunting Mr Heartbreak’ ‘Old Glory’ and ‘For Love & Money’ - immerse yourself this summer #JonathanRaban #Raban #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #classictravel #seawriting #writers #writing #read #rosetremain #sea #journeys #readersofinstagram #readers #travel #travellers #summerreading #coasting #books #bookshelf #bookish

Oh to be under a palm tree today ... taken from The Book of Puka-Puka: A Lone Trader in the South Pacific, by Robert Dean Frisbee, one of Eland’s most recent reissues. Illustrated by Mahlon Blaine, set in the 1920s, Puka-Puka is an endearing record of life on these remote islands ‘... the most graceful, poetic and sensitive writer ever to have reported on the islands.’ James Michener #travel #travelwriting #books #classictravel #elandclassics #southpacific #southpacificislands #surf #coral #reefs #islandlife #islandculture #independentpublishing #supportindependentpublishing #illustrators #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram #rum #robertdeanfrisbee #mahlonblaine

‘It conveyed a sense of fear which I have never experienced before.’ Graham Greene on the much missed Andrew Graham-Yooll’s A State of Fear: Memories of Argentina’s Nightmare #argentina #andrewgrahamyooll #stateoffear #travelwriting #travelwriters #journalist #southamerica #travel #history #booksofinstagram #independentpublishing #history #GrahamGreene #books #terrorsquad #buenosaires #buenosairesherald #authorsofinstagram #author #nightmare
Goodbye to an old friend and Eland author, Andrew Graham-Yooll who died last week. He was for many years the editor of the Buenos Aires Herald (both before his exile from and after his return to Argentina) and is the author of about thirty books. A State of Fear (published by Eland) has become a classic on the years of terror in Argentina. Here, from our archives, is a fax from Graham Greene about the book. 'It conveyed a sense of fear which I have never experienced with a book before'. #AndrewGrahamYooll #StateofFear #travelwriting #travelwriters #travel #Argentina #history #booksofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #independentpublishing #BuenosAires #BuenosAiresHerald #SouthAmerica #authors #GrahamGreene #literaryhistory #GrahamYooll #books #terror

‘A travel book may be many things, and Moritz Thomsen’s The Saddest Pleasure seems to be most of them – not just a report of a journey, but a memoir, an autobiography, a confession, a foray into South American topography and history, a travel narrative, with observations of books, music, and life in general; in short, what the best travel books are, a summing up.’ Read #PaulTheroux on Moritz Thomsens’s The Saddest Pleasure along with events, reviews, news and ‘The Art of Travel Writing’ - a new podcast from @foxedquarterly on our website #podcast #travelwriting #travelwriters #writersofinstagram #supportindependentpublishers #barnabyrogerson #sarawheeler #magicforsmiles #londonwalks #usa #picoiyer #picoiyerquotes @experiencetravelgroup @magicforsmiles @publishersgroupuk #southamerica #moritzthomsen #peacecorps
Listen to Barnaby Rogerson on travel writing and travel writers alongside writer and explorer, Sara Wheeler. In the latest Slightly Foxed podcast, ‘Leaving that place called home’, host Philippa and Slightly Foxed’s Jennie and Hazel introduce the art of travel writing with Sara Wheeler and Barnaby - Eland’s publisher - as expert guests. Buckle-up and join us on an audio adventure that takes in a coach trip around England, an Arctic sojourn, a hairy incident involving a Victorian lady and her trusty tweed skirt and a journey across Russia in the footprints of its literary greats, with nods to Bruce Chatwin, Isabella Bird, Norman Lewis, Martha Gellhorn and Patrick Leigh Fermor along the way. And to bring us back down to earth, there’s a round-up of news from the Slightly Foxed office and plenty of recommendations for reading off the beaten track.
