El Dorado and Other Pursuits by Evan S. Connell
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 920 KB
Overview: Evan S. Connell explores the quixotic obsession with the new, the hidden, the unattainable that burns in an individual's soul.

Each essay is an extraordinary account of passionate pursuit by legendary explorers, visionaries, and seekers compelled by a singular desire. Here we find Marco Polo, El Dorado, Paracelsus, Columbus, the thousands of children in the Innocents' Crusade, Magellan, Mary Kingsley (a Victorian naturalist, ethnologist, sailor, scholar, and guest of cannibals, and Ibn Batuta (an indefatigable explorer of the fourteenth century whose travels in the Arab world and beyond made 'the journey of Marco Polo look like a stroll around the block').
