The Pillars of Hercules: A Grand Tour of the Mediterranean

The journeys of world-famous travel writer Paul Theroux are the stuff of dreams and adventures. In this book, he probes layers of civilization and culture, accompanying us on a lively, occasionally violent, and endlessly fascinating trip around the shores of the Mediterranean--from Gibraltar, up the coast of Spain and along the Riviera, to the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, and beyond.
