November 2011 Guest Editor Victoria Hislop selects The Art of Travel...

Alain de Botton’s The Art of Travel  is a favourite work of non-fiction and only one of several brilliant books by de Botton.  His gift, in my view, is his warmth and good humour - he is absolutely brilliant but he does not baffle us with his intellect.  He achieves this by diluting complex ideas with wit and levity so that we understand them and even enjoy reading them.  I would have studied philosophy at university if the texts books had been written by de Botton.  He is a genius and a great communicator - and there is much to be learned from someone who makes complex ideas so comprehensible.

 

The Lovereading view...

Offers insights into things that range from holiday romance to hotel mini-bars, airports to sight-seeing.
