Oh and VS Naipaul's India Trilogy, starting with An Area of Darkness is fantastic. And Travels into Bokhara: The Narrative of a Voyage on the Indus by Burnes is great too, as is his work on Afghanistan. River of Trees by Henning is a non-fiction work on the varied expeditions into the Amazon as well as a really nice anthropological work.

An anon here once posted this great travelogue of the first major expedition sent by Meiji Japan after its opening to the West, to explore the West and report on what made us tick

It was the I....something Expedition, some huge three-volume set. Iwagara? Ikamura? Someting like that.

The 19th century was truly the great era of travelogues. Pic unrelated by two years.

Bretty gud, but his masterpieces are The Servile State and The Great Heresies. I'm not even a Catholic apologist and he is deeply compelling.
