Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The iconic writer's travel log from the uncharted shores of West Africa.
WITH A FOREWORD BY TIM BUTCHER AND AN INTRODUCTION BY PAUL THEROUX
Leaving Europe for the first time in his life, Graham Greene set out in 1935 to discover Liberia, then a virtually uncharted republic on the shores of West Africa. This captivating account of his arduous 350-mile journey on foot - a great adventure which took him from the border with Sierra Leone to the Atlantic coast at Grand Bassa - is as much a record of one young man's self-discovery as it is a striking insight into one of the few areas of Africa untouched by Western colonisation. Journey Without Maps is regarded as a masterclass in travel writing.

Fascinating
Not a novel. It takes its time and unfolds as if the reader was there. It's a tough slog of a trek through interior to coast with incident and episode. It paints a bleak picture similar to Heart of Darkness... but not fiction. Primitive magic poverty disease. Colonial rule desperation broken culture pitiful. What drives Greene can only be described as some mysterious need to see and understand. Stare IT in the face. I highly recommend it. The narration is excellent. Clear and concise an easy on the ear tone of voice. Don't be put off by the tasteless rather homophobic slur by the author of another review. I'm surprised it wasn't blocked.

Dreadful reader
An excellent story and book spoiled by a reader who sounded more Julian Clary! You have many good readers. Use those please.
