Mandeville’s Travails: Merging Travel, Theory, and Commentary – Hardcover-Fast Shipping

Description

by
Francis Tobienne (Author)

Mandeville’s Travails challenges the less than serious stereotyping of travel as both genre and theoretical framework. Instead, and by examining the position of travel, a deeper sense of the human species can be appreciated beyond the displaced borders of language, ritual, and culture.
