Using a mixture of his own words and paintings Michael Darvill's Travelation is a series of passionate thoughts and images for the spiritual pilgrim. A lifetime of travelling is distilled into chapters that include many of the sights of the world that have left their mark on the author. In his intimate style Michael invites the reader to sit beside him on the back of an elephant as it breaks through the Indian jungle to reveal the wonder that is the tiger; to sit beside him and gaze down as Petra becomes a scene from a thousand years ago. Travelation is not just a series of places visited - the Taj Mahal, The Great Wall of China, the lines of Nazca, the African veldt - rather, it is a traveller's experience of this world of the present and the past. A world in which you will find what you are looking for only if you are true to yourself.
