About this ebook
The Travellers is a unique collection of fictional stories from the post-war period of the 1950s and 1960s. They are set during a time of transition from the golden the era of travel by train and by ship to the beginning of the modern era of travel by air. Each story describes, in fascinating detail, a chance encounter on their travels between two or more people from different walks of life, and the arguments or friendships that subsequently develop.
What happens when a principled, married man meets a beautiful young girl on an ocean voyage to Europe? Or when an idealistic young Westerner meets a worldly-wise man from a different culture on a plane flight from the Middle East? From romance to politics, and from business ethics to the environment, the author skilfully draws a range of characters whose thoughts, views and emotions are as varied as the backgrounds they come from.
The Travellers is not just for the armchair traveller – this book offers an entertaining and absorbing experience to all readers who like to reflect on the nature of humanity, and the many and varied ways in which people can react to new and unexpected situations.
