With the same intelligence and insouciant charm he brought to \u003ci\u003eHow Proust Can Save Your Life, \u003c\/i\u003ede Botton considers the pleasures of anticipation; the allure of the exotic, and the value of noticing everything from a seascape in Barbados to the takeoffs at Heathrow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Even as de Botton takes the reader along on his own peregrinations, he also cites such distinguished fellow-travelers as Baudelaire, Wordsworth, Van Gogh, the biologist Alexander von Humboldt, and the 18th-century eccentric Xavier de Maistre, who catalogued the wonders of his bedroom. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Travel\u003c\/i\u003e is a \"refreshing and profoundly readable\" book (\u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e).
