One of the best travel books this century
*Independent*
No one who reads this book will question the value of Greene's
experiment, or emerge unshaken by the penetration, the richness,
the integrity of this moving record
*Guardian*
His originality lay in his gifts as a traveller. He had the foreign
ear and eye for the strangeness of ordinary life and its ordinary
crises
Journey Without Maps and The Lawless Roads reveal Greene's ravening
spiritual hunger, a desperate need to touch rock bottom both within
the self and in the humanly created world
*Times Higher Education Supplement*
