I have many books, and of those, many are travel books.
The book is also described in this article, which can be viewed online
Lawrence Millman’s book, Last Places: A Journey in the North which was published in 1990 (Millman).
Travel books like that will probably keep being written in years to come and they need certainly not be boring in any way. Each traveller and each writer of a travel story has to find and use the kind of medium that suits him. Those who on the other hand aspire to anything different will do as they please and the outcome of new experimenting ways will be something to look forward to.
Lawrence Millman’s book, Last Places: A Journey in the North which was published in 1990 (Millman).
Iceland was a quite big part of his itinerary on the
journey from Norway to Newfoundland. One of the reasons he visits Iceland is that he had
many years earlier met an Icelandic man, in a completely different part of the world, who
had told him many things about his country. This encounter stays with him and he has in
the meantime read the Icelandic Sagas and W. H. Auden´s Letters from Iceland. And even this modern man in his modern age does find things about this island and its
people that strike him as strange.
