With a new foreword by Tahir Shah, this book is one most captivating travel books of the 20th century.
It was perhaps inevitable that Richard Halliburton, such a romantic, imaginative wanderer, would follow in the footsteps of another legendary traveller - Odysseus. Halliburton''s second book, The Glorious Adventure, describes his journey through the Mediterranean in the shadow of his mythical hero.
In Greece, Halliburton charged Mount Olympus ''in order to visit the gods that dwelled there''; he swam the Hellespont as Byron had before him and journeyed on to Troy, where Odysseus''s long adventure began. He sailed to Stromboli in the Tyrrhenian Sea, home of Aeolus, god of the winds; then to the Bay of Naples, Circeo - ''island'' of Circe - and Li Galli, the siren isles that shimmered off the Amalfi coast. Battling through the Straits of Messina, Odysseus''s Scylla and Charybdis, he explored Sicily and Corfu before setting out for the shores of Ithaca, long-forgotten home for one, the end of an adventure for another.
As epic and eventful as The Odyssey itself, The Glorious Adventure evokes the romance of another time, when heroes and gods walked the earth.
