«Journeys» is Jan Morris's collection of essays and travel writing, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (173 pages, in English).
The book brings together travel articles by Jan Morris: cities as different as Las Vegas and Stockholm, journeys across Europe and China, and emotional visits to historic sites such as the Acropolis and the Taj Mahal, with lucid, evocative prose that turns each destination into a personal portrait.
The work belongs to the non-fiction and travel literature genre; this Oxford University Press paperback edition is from 1985.
For readers interested in travel literature and in chronicles that combine personal observation, history and geography.
Catharine Jan Morris was a Welsh historian, author and travel writer. She was known particularly for the Pax Britannica trilogy (1968–1978), a history of the British Empire, and for portraits of cities, including Oxford, Venice, Trieste, Hong Kong and New York City. She published under her birth name until 1972, when she had gender reassignment surgery, transitioning from male to female.
