{"product_id":"9781845413507","title":"Books and Travel: Inspiration, Quests and Transformation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe books that we read, whether travel-focused or not, may influence the way in which we understand the process or experience of travel. This multidisciplinary work provides a critical analysis of the inspirational and transformational role that books play in travel imaginings. Does reading a book encourage us to think of travel as exotic, adventurous, transformative, dangerous or educative? Do different genres of books influence a reader's view of travel in multifarious ways? These questions are explored through a literary analysis of an eclectic selection of books spanning the period from the eighteenth century to the present day. Genres covered include historical fiction, children's books, westerns, science-fiction and crime fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel View Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140143530224,"sku":"9781845413507","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845413507_p0.jpg?v=1769894256","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845413507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
