‘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. To listen to the podcast see the home page of either Eland or @foxedquarterly or find us on @iTunes #podcast #travelpodcast #literarypodcast #travel #travelwriters #travelwriting #writers #writetheworld #exploretheworld #bookstagram @jenharrisonbunning #barnabyingibralter #offthebeatentrack #unusualplaces #supportindependentpublishers #travelpublishing #literaryquarterly #elandbooks #foxedquarterly #literarypursuits #worldtravel #sarawheeler

The symbolism of cathedrals and churches, so dominant in medieval society, remains as strong today. Here in Galway’s St Nicholas Church, angels heads were destroyed by Cromwell. St Nicholas’s is the largest medieval church in Ireland - legend states that Christopher Columbus worshipped here when he visited the city in 1477. #church #churches #religion #travel #christophercolumbus #galway #ireland #stnicholas #notredame #restoration #cathedral #medieval #medievalhistory #cromwell #angels #reformation #visitireland #notredamedeparis #catholichurch #catholic #culture #culturevulture #irelandtravel #medievalart #symbolism #culturalsignifigance
