「《旅行的意義》針對人為何旅行、如何旅行以及旅行對人的影響等課題作了迷人、睿智而有趣的探索。我從未讀過類似的書。就如旅行活動本身,本書改變了我對世界的觀點,幫助我用新奇的角度去看熟悉的地景。」──2017《金融時報》(Financial Times)、《旁觀者》(Spectator)雜誌年度好書《狂風所在》(Where the Wild Winds Are)作者尼克.杭特(Nick Hunt)

「也許你去過泰姬瑪哈陵和萬里長城,但倘若你尚未讀過本書,你或許就不算真的旅行過。憑著深刻的經歷和洞見,克雷格.史托迪以清澄明晰、幽默感和宏大的歷史感指出旅行是何等重要。他以實例證明人可以超越單純的觀光,在任何新地域成為開明參與者的各種方法。對所有旅人,更別說跨文化主義者言,本書都是必讀之作。──美國國務院海外簡報中心(Overseas Briefing Center)前主任凡遜.席柏斯坦(Fanchon Silberstein)

「克雷格.史托迪令人折服地回答了『旅行為何重要』這個問題。他區分了旅行和觀光的不同,接著證明旅行能擔保人在出發和回來時不會是同一個人。數量豐富的引言生動闡明了他的觀點,讓這本引人著作的內容更顯充實。他的觀點是:旅行既是內在也是外在的旅程。」──跨文化教育訓練及研究協會(SIETAR)會長姍卓.M.富勒(Sandra M. Fowler)

你可以選擇當個觀光客,盡情享樂;
或者做一名旅人,讓旅行改變一生。

◤旅遊是為了觀光,旅行是為了理解
「旅行不在於去過多少地方,而是對造訪之處了解多少。」
「旅人不知道該往哪裡去(因為不重要),而遊客不知道自己去過哪裡。」──保羅.索魯
「旅人們會對於某些事心懷敬畏,或對某些事心生警覺;……他們時而覺得驚奇有趣,時而挫折、懊惱和著迷,但他們絕不會無感。」

本書是寫給那些想要深入了解旅行提供的各種機會,以及如何善加運用的人;那些想要充實自身人格,開拓心靈,帶回一個和出發時不一樣的自己的人;還有那些想要從旅行中學習的人。在本書中這樣的人被稱為嚴肅旅人。

The renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm has helped millions of men and women achieve rich, productive lives by developing their hidden capacities for love. In this astonishingly frank and candid book, he explores the ways in which this extraordinary emotion can alter the whole course of your life.

Most of us are unable to develop our capacities for love on the only level that really counts—a love that is compounded of maturity, self-knowledge, and courage. Learning to love, like other arts, demands practice and concentration. Even more than any other art it demands genuine insight and understanding.

In this classic work, Fromm explores love in all its aspects--not only romantic love, steeped in false conceptions and lofty expectations, but also love of parents, children, brotherly love, erotic love, self-love, and the love of God.
