From Introduction:
The easiest way to get an "accidental education" is to travel for it with an open and perceptive mind. But this is expensive and practical to only a few. The rest of us are not completely cut off, however, for we, sitting comfortably at home, can nevertheless go in fancy with those who not only have seen but have been able to reproduce what they have seen. Such are the journeys which this book makes possible.
These trips are none the less real because they do not actually take place. Many of our best journeys are that kind. Christopher Morley once took a trip on the back of a postcard, and because it has so much persuasive charm, it is reproduced here. The Conrad selection is rather an imaginative picture of the beginning and end of trips to far countries than a trip in itself. The contents of this book are haphazard, but so are the most fruitful journeys.
