“Nothing develops the mind like a journey,” said Emil Zola, realizing that few sensations can be compared with, the discovery of unknown corners, distant and relatives, on our land.
Throughout the history of mankind, travelers were considered heroes, wanderers who leave the usual way of life and go to the unknown. The desire for distant horizons, for the unknown, underlies human nature, and the most successful - or the most adventurous - attempts to conquer unknown ones invariably fit into the list of the greatest achievements. Whether it is a prehistoric Aboriginal on a flimsy ship, an antique navigator, a medieval merchant, an enlightened humanist of the seventeenth century or a polar researcher of the twentieth century - they all made up a cohort of the great wanderers directed into the unknown. Their stories, memories and life are examples of the highest manifestation of human capabilities and the human spirit.
The Great Travel series is a way to get acquainted with the stories of many great geographers, discoverers and researchers, learn more about their lives, experiences and achievements
