Capt.Lewis'Razor
On the basis of chosen travel narratives (mainly Alexander von Humboldt's Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of the New Continent During the Years 1799 —1804 and The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition) the author anatomises the somatics of travel writing, looks into textual and extra-textual evidence and argues, remembering the etymology of the word "e/motion," that — compulsive travelling is a "moving" manifestation of death-wish.
