Description: "Travel, like sex, is the search for the unknown. What, after all, could be more unknown than a sexual experience in a strange land, or with a stranger? This question, or preoccupation, informs much of the most insightful and eloquent travel writing we have.

Major writers - from Byron to Casanova, from Gustave Flaubert to Graham Greene, Henry Miller to Andre Gide, and from Christopher Isherwood to Isabelle Eberhardt - experimented sexually when traveling, often finding themselves willing and able to surrender to the moment in a way they could not at home. In the pursuit of pleasure or adventure, or simply another kind of experience, these writers expanded their knowledge of the countries and societies in which they found chemselves.

Sometimes they fell in love, sometimes not, but their erotic encounters colored their perceptions of abroad forever."--BOOK JACKET.
