Mon ambition est d'offrir au lecteur une invitation au voyage en compagnie de quelques Belges qui n'étaient pas casaniers, qui, partis suivant l'ordre d'un prince ou de leur propre mouvement, avaient en commun le désir de se libérer des contraintes du quotidien, de mieux connaître des civilisations qui déconcertaient ou menaçaient les Occidentaux, d'affronter tous les risques, y compris ceux de l'esclavage, de découvrir et explorer des régions encore inconnues de notre planète bleue. La Belgique indépendante n'avait que seize ans lorsque le baron Jules de Saint-Genois publia, dans une collection populaire de l'éditeur Jamar, deux petits volumes intitulés Les Voyageurs belges. Bien que non avouée, l'intention de l'auteur était évidemment patriotique. Il s'agissait de mettre en évidence des navigateurs, diplomates, missionnaires ou pèlerins ayant laissé la relation de leurs découvertes, le récit de leurs aventures, la description des pays qu'ils avaient parcourus et des mœurs des peuples rencontrés.

This book asks the question; why is it that tourism matters? It looks at how it is we do tourism and learn to be tourists when we are on holiday. Tourism is a dynamic way of being that may facilitate or hinder intercultural exchange. The ways in which we do tourism and the places in which we are tourists raise practical, material and emotional questions about tourist life. This book draws on both empirical work and a range of theoretical frameworks, arguing that tourism matters precisely because of the lessons it can teach us about living everyday life with others.

"From the Archaic period to the Greco-Roman age, the figure of the wanderer held great significance in ancient Greece. In the first comprehensive study devoted to this theme, Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture unearths the many meanings attached to this practice over the centuries. Employing a broad range of literary and philosophical texts, Silvia Montiglio demonstrates how wandering has been conceptualized from Homer's Odysseus - the hero "who wandered much"--In the eighth century B.C.E. to pagan sages of the early Roman Empire." "Examining the act of wandering through many lenses, Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture addresses questions such as: Why did the Greeks associate the figure of the wanderer with the condition of exile? How was the expansion of the world under Rome reflected in the connotations of wandering? Does a person learn by wandering, or is wandering a deviation from the truth? In the end, this matchless volume shows how the transformations that affected the figure of the wanderer coincided with new perceptions of the world and of travel, and invites us to consider its definition and import today."--Jacket.
