Whether you're a frequent traveler or a bookworm who prefers to explore the world from the comfort of your armchair, these 80 remarkable works transport you to diverse locations across every continent. Sometimes, the backdrop of a novel can be just as captivating as the storyline itself – where would Charles Dickens be without the bustling streets of London, or Edith Wharton without the vibrant energy of New York? Who can read Jamaica Inn without longing to visit the enchanting Bodmin Moor, or immerse themselves in Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency without contemplating the possibility of adding Botswana to their travel bucket list? Spanning the globe, from the most popular cities in Europe to the remote corners of Australia, this collection features both classic works by renowned authors and emerging talents. While a native's perspective can often provide a genuine insight into a country's essence, an outsider's perspective can also recreate the allure of the unknown. Whether you're already planning your next adventure or simply seeking inspiration for your travels, Around the World in 80 Novels is a treasure trove of captivating reads that will ignite your imagination and have you eagerly packing your suitcase.
