O chamamento para a viagem é de sempre e explica-se por uma sede imensa de diversidade e pela atracção por tudo o que é o Outro. Da Antiguidade até aos nossos dias, a literatutra alimenta-se deste favor por percorrer o mundo. Em última análise, a literatura de viagem criou e transmitiu uma imagem do Outro diferente de si mesmo, imbuída pela fascinação do exotismo.
The allurement of travelling is timeless and is characterized by an unquenchable thirst for diversity and an attraction for all that the Other represents. From classical antiquity to our present day world, literature has thrived on this restlessness for roaming from place to place. In the end, travel literature has created and transmitted an image of the Other which is different from Him/Herself yet imbued with fascination and exoticism.
