Résumé

An entrancing travelogue from celebrated writer, Jonathan Raban. First published in 1999, Passage to Juneau is an account of Raban's personal journey from Seattle to the Alaskan Capital by boat through the meandering sea route, the Inside Passage, told in parallel to the same voyage taken by Captain George Vancouver in the late eighteenth century. Described by Ian McEwan as 'Raban at his best', this is extraordinary travel writing, told from two very different perspectives.
A book about the idea of loss, Raban is home but still, he is very much still at sea.
