Description
Journey Without Maps is a travelogue that chronicles Graham Greene's arduous 350-mile journey on foot through West Africa in 1935. Leaving Europe for the first time, he set out to discover Liberia, a virtually unmapped republic on the shores of West Africa.
This account of his journey is as much a record of one young man's self-discovery as it is a striking insight into one of the few areas of Africa untouched by Western colonisation. The book offers a unique perspective on this region and its people, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in travel writing.
With a foreword by Tim Butcher and an introduction by Paul Theroux, Journey Without Maps is widely regarded as a masterclass in travel writing. Its enduring appeal lies in Greene's vivid descriptions of the landscape and his own personal growth during this transformative journey.
