Author: <\/strong>Charles Dickens<\/p>\n Considered as Dicken\u2019s finest piece of work (200 million copies sold), A Tale of Two Cities<\/em>is a good read for travellers who enjoy historical fiction.<\/p>\n Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, the story describes the hardships faced by the French peasantry over their unlawful treatment by the nobles and the unflattering similarities it had with life in London during the same period. Centring around three characters; Lucie Manette, an ideal pre-Victoria lady, Sydney Carton, a lowly English barrister and Charles Darnay, a French nobleman, the story tells of the love triangle between the three and the various obstacles they are forced to overcome during the gruelling period.<\/p>\n Powerfully written with deep characterization, the book is big enough to keep you occupied during long journeys. The setting of the novel makes any traveller want to visit the perfectly preserved history of London and France. So famous is the book that it was adapted into some films, TV shows, Radio programs, Stage dramas, a musical stage performance and an Opera.<\/p>\n Quote from the book<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way\u2014in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest <\/em>authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.\u201d<\/em> Author: <\/strong>Cheryl Strayed<\/p>\n Travelling is much more than a journey from point A to point B, as perfectly described in this memoir.<\/p>\n Cheryl’s life was undergoing a downward spiral; her mother had passed away from lung cancer, her stepfather and siblings remained distant and her subsequent addiction to heroin ruined her marriage. One fateful day, she decides to take a 1,100-mile hike across the 2,659 miles long Pacific Crest Trail, a popular hiking spot. Having no prior hiking experience, Cheryl recounts her incredible journey of self-discovery, while enduring grief and personal challenges. The hike begins at the Mojave Desert, follows along through California and Oregon and ends at the Bridge of the Gods into Washington.<\/p>\n A book to that plays with your emotions with every turn of the page; Wild makes you want to rethink your life goals while on the road. The book served as inspiration for the Oscar-nominated filmWild,<\/em> starring Reese Witherspoon.<\/p>\n Quote from the book<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”<\/em><\/p>\n Author: <\/strong>Elizabeth Gilbert<\/p>\n One of the fascinating memoirs ever written, Eat Pray Love <\/em>is sure to keep you entertained and excited for more globetrotting adventures.

You can also catch the movie, starring Julia Roberts.<\/p>\n Quote from the book<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYou need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Author: <\/strong>Jules Verne<\/p>\n We\u2019ve all seen the hilarious movie starring Jackie Chan, but little is known about the famous book that inspired the film.
