About the selection: Eland is an exceptional independent publisher focused on the best classic travel writing presented in their unmistakeably handsome paperbacks. We’ve decided to celebrate their stunning list – and indeed their brilliant literary taste - with a big and gorgeous selection of Eland books: the perfect housewarming gift for any serious traveller. Never read a Norman Lewis or a Dervla Murphy? What are you waiting for?

These books encompass memoir, journalism and even some novels, from the political correspondence of Martha Gellhorn to the fiction of Leonard Woolf – but every book shares a mesmeric focus on place. Perfect for reading on holiday, or for travelling without needing to go further than your armchair, our Eland collection will immerse any reader in the cultures of every continent.
