Wanderlust
20 Extraordinary Travel Adventures : 500 Years of Travel Writing by Explorers of Jewish Origin, 1492-1992
Description:... The explorers and adventure travelers in this anthology are men of great distinction, courage, modesty and insight. The common denominator that fits them all is that they had a powerful urge to explore and discover. They are brilliant and passionate writers. They all abandoned the comforts of life at home, and paid a high personal price for their wanderlust. Garfinkel's discovery of long lost explorers may be as important as the adventures they write about. Book jacket.
