The Inspired Traveller: Our World in 100 Cultural Places

Drawing from four books in White Lion’s bestselling Inspired Traveller’s Guides and with 10 newly commissioned entries, The Inspired Traveller is an all-encompassing tour of the most culturally important places on the planet – be they literary, artistic, cinematic, gastronomic or musical. Discover the destinations that have inspired the world’s greatest art, cinema, food, novels and music. Pure armchair travel, this book is for anyone with a sense of wanderlust and curiosity: immerse yourself in 100 places that have inspired a remarkable cultural environment. In Paris, visit the labyrinth streets of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables and the charming streets of Montmartre, the backdrop of Amélie; in New York visit Brooklyn, home of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing and Jean-Michel Basquiat’s stomping ground round the East Village. Split by continent, and with fascinating text and charming hand-drawn illustrations for each entry, this is the ultimate atlas of 100 cultural places every armchair traveller needs to know about.
