Nowadays the wide array of transportation means and infrastructures at our disposal has made it relatively easy for us to travel from one country to another; even when those countries are thousands of miles away from each other. However, during the 13th and 14th centuries, travelling was not that easy. Yet, two men, the Italian tradesman Marco Polo and the Moroccan Jurist Ibn Battuta became famous for having managed to perform extremely long distance journeys away from their home country. At the end of their long travels, both men shared their experiences with the world via the books, The Travels of Marco Polo and The Travels of Ibn Battuta. An analysis of those two texts reveals two things. On one hand, Marco Polo remained a cultural

Travel literature is a flush, diverse, and highly developed genre that spans across cultures, time periods, and at times divine realms. In it, the subject or subjects embark upon great journeys of selfhood, diplomacy, dominion, or heroism, and are often documented with meticulous, deliberate attention. In the Renaissance, the rich travel genre’s legacy continued into Eurasia, spawning three expansives texts: Evliya Celebi’s seventeenth century Book of Travels, detailing an Ottoman diplomatic delegation’s tour of Vienna to negotiate a peace treaty; the sixteenth century Spanish novella The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes and of His Fortunes and Adversities, following the young picaro Lazarillo as he comes of age under the ill mentorship of seven masters; and the

A journey can be physical, within the imagination or an inner progression. Every journey enables the traveller to gain a sense of enlightenment and deeper understanding of their world. This is evident in Atwood’s Journey to the Interior, Eliot’s The Journey of the Magi, Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Adamson’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which prove every journey, if truly a journey, profoundly changes one’s perspective on certain aspects of life.

The wind was blowing with its humid dry air. And All I could do was stand silently in disbelief, caught up in my own thoughts and calm as I ever been.

E.M. Forster’s classic novel “A Passage to India” tells the story of a young doctor, Dr. Aziz, and his interactions with the British citizens who are residing in India during the time of the British Raj. Throughout the novel, the reader gets many different viewpoints on the people and the culture of India during this point in history.
