Review Quote'Raban's inability to write a mere travel book opens the way for Passage to Juneau to become something richer and stranger: a book that defies categories, unless it simply be called a portrait of the journeying soul . . . Evoking the sea, Raban is incomparable' Review Quote'A moving, complex mosaic of memory, history and adventure' Review Quote' Passage to Juneau is a rich and complex book – a beautifully crafted travelogue, a subtle exercise in anthropology and an involving account of the personal crises which gripped Raban during his voyage to Alaska' Review Quote'Jonathan Raban is one of the most satisfying writers of his generation'Reissued with a new introduction from Robert Macfarlane, Passage to Juneau is the story of Jonathan Raban's voyage by sea from Seattle to Juneau, and a history of the same voyage taken by Captain George Vancouver. A entrancing travelogue from the late Anglo-American master of letters, Jonathan Raban. Reissued with a new introduction from Robert Macfarlane, Passage to Juneau is an account of Raban's voyage from Seattle to the Alaskan capital by boat, and the devastating news that awaits him when he returns to dry land.
