Inspired by Jules Verne's hero Phileas Fogg, David Damrosch set out to counter a pandemic's restrictions on travel by exploring eighty exceptional books from around the globe. Following a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel Prize-winners Orhan Pamuk and Olga Tokarczuk, he explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world. From a Harvard Professor of Comparative Literature who has lectured in fifty countries around the world.
