Items related to Eye On the World
Gavin Young grew up with a thirst for travel which he spent the rest of his life satisfying, first as a journalist and then as a traveller. His superb photographs and vivid commentary are here woven together, giving us his unique eye on the world. This is a celebration of the life and achievements of one of our greatest travel writers. 'Extraordinary 'mud skyscrapers' in Saudi Arabia, moody shots of Borneo jungle villages where Conrad passed, desolate tableaux vivants of 1965 Vietnam, all stirred together in fine prose that mixes still-fresh outrage with comic anecdotalism and melancholy remembrance.' The Guardian
