After making his first voyage as a sailor to earn his passage from his native Holland to South America, Cees Nooteboom has never stopped travelling. This is a collection of his most remarkable travel pieces, informed throughout by the author’s humanity and gentle humor. From exotic places such as Isfahan, Gambia, and Mali to seemingly domesticated places such as Australia and Munich, Nooteboom shares his view of the world, showing us the strangeness in places we thought we knew and the familiarity of places most of us will probably never see. His phenomenal gifts as an observer and the wealth of his reading and learning make him an authoritative and delightful companion.
Nomad’s Hotel is a record of a world class traveler’s many discoveries and insights.
CEES NOOTEBOOM was born in 1933 in The Hague. He has published nine novels and over a dozen collections of travel writing, including Roads to Santiago. He lives in Amsterdam and Spain.
