The Pillars of Hercules: A Grand Tour of the Mediterranean
Paul Theroux has developed one of travel writing's most identifiable styles: always the foreigner, always a bit apart, slightly irascible, but perfectly observant.  At last he has ventured  to one of the most traveled places on earth, and returned with his  most exhilarating, revealing, and eloquent travel book.  In this modern version of the Grand Tour, Theroux sets off from  Gibraltar, one of the fabled Pillars of Hercules, on a glorious journey around the shores of the Mediterranean.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
