In the summer of 1953, a twenty-four-year-old man, the son of a good Calvinist family, leaves Geneva and the university where he is taking courses in Sanskrit and medieval history and hops straightaway in his Fiat Topolino. Nicolas Bouvier has already taken short trips, and even longer stays : in [Bourgogne] [Burgundy], Finland, Algeria, and Spain, and Yugoslavia by way of Italy and Greece. This time, he is aiming farther : Turkey, Iran, Kabul, then the border of India. He is accompanied by his friend, Thierry Vernet, who will document the expedition with his sketches and drawings.
These six months of travel across Anatolia, Iran, and then Afghanistan will give birth to one of the great masterpieces of travel literature, L’Usage du monde, republished here and translated into several languages.
