I am extremely pleased to present the August issue of Recce: Literary Journeys for the Discerning Traveler.
This month we feature an excerpt from acclaimed author William Dalrymple's masterful new book on the spiritual life of contemporary India, "Nine Lives."
In Roundtable, peripatetic writer Andy Isaacson evokes some of his most memorable adventures with borders in Central Asia; in Soundings, culinary expert Ruta Kahate describes the rich lessons of Indian cooking; and in Fresh from the Field, award-winning photographer Robert Holmes presents a magnificent series of images from a recent journey to Myanmar.
Finally, I reflect on how travel deeply and indelibly heightens our world, wherever we go.
You can click on any of the links below to read these. I hope you'll enjoy this issue. And I'd appreciate any feedback you want to send my way.
With all best wishes,
Don George
