The Sea and Its Meanings.
Following his dusty travels for 'Bad Land', described as a "blazing classic" in the 'Sunday Telegraph', and whose many prizes included the US National Book Critics Circle Award, Jonathan Raban returns to sea.
'Passage To Juneau' is a narrative non-fiction of the highest order, as Raban brings the past spectacularly alive, and renders the present in a prose of sustained brilliance and humour. Exhilarating, panoramic, full of ideas, natural history and mordant social observation, this journey into the heart of wild North America turns out to be a profound exploration of the tumultuous wilderness of the human heart.
