CUANDO VIAJAR ERA DESCUBRIR (BOLSILLO)

Travelers, explorers, and dreamers who defied the unknown. From the myths of Ulysses to the exploits of 20th-century explorers, this is a tribute to the great travelers who, with courage and curiosity, challenged the limits of their time. Through compelling and meticulously documented stories, this book immerses us in the exploits of legendary figures such as Alexander von Humboldt, Lady Hester St anthope, Patrick Leigh Fermor, Annemarie Schwarzenbach, and Wilfred Thesiger. Adventurers who, driven by a desire to discover, crossed oceans, traversed deserts, and conquered mountains, leaving behind a legacy of knowledge and fascination. More than a simple compendium of journeys, this work is a reflection on the human impulse to explore, the difference between a tourist and a traveler, and the mystery that lies in the paths yet to be traveled. A book for those who believe that traveling is not just about moving from place to place, but a way of living and understanding the world.
