Well researched, well thought out, well written. From Gilgamesh to Norman Mailer, I’ve enjoyed many of the adventure literature examined in this book, only now I know why. Zweig reaffirms, adventure is the spice of life, but you don’t need to battle beasts or travel into nine colored lands to achieve them. And although spoils may follow, the prize is the adventure itself.

Why isn’t this gem more we’ll known?
