An anthology of worlds revealed by explorers through the ages, edited by Benedict Allen.

‘The is a major work, and it should be on every travellers’s bookshelf’ Conde Nest Traveller

What does it feel like to walk off the edge of a map? To emerge dazed, dying yet triumphant, from the Amazon? Benedict Allen’s anthology of human exploration ranges across various terrains – hot and cold deserts, mountains and plains, jungles and high seas – and presents the words of those who, through the centuries – be they Vikings or missionaries, conquistadors or botanists – have set off into ‘the unknown’.
