5.0 out of 5 stars Synopis, 21 Dec 2006

By	Mark Davies (UK) - See all my reviews

This travel book takes readers on a whistle-stop tour of the world, as seen through the eyes of writers, photographers, filmmakers, composers, painters, sculptors and philosophers.

The global and artistic odyssey flies from the tropical paradise of Gauguin's Tahiti to the Beatles' hippie enclave in Rishikesh, from the ghoulish wilderness of Arthur Conan Doyle's Dartmoor to Wittgenstein's snow-bound fjord hideaway, and from the hashish dens of Paul Bowles' Morocco to the Wild West of Sergio Leone. Each entry features colour photographs, practical travel advice, and information on how to get closer to the artist through exhibitions, festivals, performances and museums.

50 Great Escapes also features a global directory of 21st-century hotspots, allowing budding artists to experience a creative epiphany of their own.
