A Sea and Its Meanings
Following his dusty travels for 'Bad Land', Jonathan Raban returns to the sea, sailing up the coast of Canada to Juneau in Alaska. An extraordinary travel book, the fascinating voyage is beautifully told and vivid with fresh observations of the highest order.
'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.
