Books
It was perhaps inevitable that Richard Halliburton, such a romantic, imaginative wanderer, would follow in the footsteps of another legendary traveller - Odysseus. His second book, 'The Glorious Adventure' describes his journey through the Mediterranean in the shadow of his mythical hero. 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 and one of the most captivating travel books of the 20th century, 'The Glorious Adventure' evokes the romance of another time, when heroes and gods walked the Earth.
