Outposts by Simon Winchester

Outposts by Simon Winchester

In 1985 the author, struck by a sudden need to discover exactly what was left of the British Empire, travelled 100,000 miles back and forth from Antarctica to the Caribbean to visit the far-flung islands that are all that remain of what once made Britain great. This title presents his adventures in these distant and forgotten ends of the earth.

He lives in New York and is the Asia-Pacific Editor for Conde Nast Traveler and contributes to a number of American magazines, as well as the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator and the BBC. He has written numerous books. The River at the Centre of the World (Viking 1997/Penguin 1998) has been shortlisted for the 1998 Thomas Cook/Daily Telegraph Travel Book Award.
