“Levison sees travel through a truly unique lens, and has untaken journeys many of us could only dream of. World Travel Market London Exhibition Director, Juliette Losardo, said: ‘Endurance’ features 100 extracts of non-fiction and fiction about the most astonishing acts of human endurance. Released this summer, Lev’s latest publication saw him curate an anthology of the best writing about endurance, adventure, survival and exploration. Lev will be embarking on a 12-date theatre tour this month, sharing his knowledge and experiences with UK audiences. It covers how we can all benefit from applying the philosophy of travel and the Art of Exploration to our normal everyday routines. Highly recommended.“The Art of Exploration,” Lev’s recent book, brings together his many lessons from the road. It didn't ruin the book for me but it is jarring. This is a witty and endearing account of low budget travel (something which does not appeal to me but which I do enjoy hearing about other people doing) in Asia.My only minor quibble is that the otherwise excellent narrator appears to have a limited vocabulary and whenever he encounters an unfamiliar word (not a foreign one, an English one) he makes a total hash of the pronunciation. So, I very much loved Eastern Horizons and standing in the shoes, metaphorically speaking, of another as they did just that. I am particularly fascinated by Afghanistan and would love to visit the country if it weren't highly likely that they would shoot me on sight. And yet, it still gives me a thrill to read (listen to) travel literature. I've lived in a dozen or more countries and visited many more. I love to travel, I've been on the road for over 20 years now on my very slow crawl to nowhere from nowhere special.
