Read your way across the world – and get to know it better. READ THE WORLD recommends the best three books on more than 50 countries, taking readers on a trip through Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. The mix of novels and non-fiction books – both classic and contemporary – goes beyond being merely set on location to reveal something of each country’s soul. Whether you’re an intrepid traveller or an armchair adventurer, climb aboard for a literary journey to counter different people and places, and learn more about them. Enjoy the trip! This book started out as a feature on the Guardian website, and has been revised and expanded.
