I learned that sometimes the truly inspirational people out there, are amazing just by being who they are and doing their best to find joy in life. I also learned an amazing amount of history from this book.

A Sense of the World: How a Blind Man Became History's Greatest Traveler
"I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone skipping ahead to the travelogue parts, if that's their thing. The context of Holman's blindness, and his social/...more

Interesting, but didn't get into the real travelogue until the second half. Could have probably skipped the British naval history....

A fascinating look at 19th c. travel & how to "sense" the world w/o that most immediate sense, sight.

| Re-reading this book for an article I'm writing, contrasting it with Benjamin Button (both the Fitzgerald short story and the movie). It's far superior in almost all respects. | |

“Time, if not space, renders all of us travelers. Cling as we might, we are ultimately compelled to let go of the familiar, to forge affinities with the new, and to sense the approach of the more unfamiliar still. We feel our way. If we are as fortunate as the Blind Traveler, we are given the grace to listen, with equal attention, to the intelligence of winds and the solemnity of silence. To remain, joyfully, awake to the path itself.”
