Who says we need to board a plane to see new horizons? Some novels transport us to faraway destinations or immerse us in fascinating cultures in just a few chapters. Whether it\u2019s adventure, exotic locales, or wide-open spaces, books that take us on a journey <\/strong>offer the perfect escape without ever leaving the comfort of home<\/strong>. Discover our selection now!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why are books that take us on a journey so good for us?<\/h2>\n

In general, reading offers us what everyday life doesn\u2019t always allow: a change of scenery. By immersing us in another world, it helps us step away from daily life and reduce our stress. Some studies even suggest it promotes relaxation<\/a> by slowing heart rate, easing physical tension and stimulating memory.<\/p>\n

Literary journeys may also invite us to see the world differently. By experiencing the point of view of characters from other countries or time periods, we may become better able to develop our empathy and our ability to decode the emotions and experiences of others; what some researchers also call \u201ctheory of mind<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

This accessible and deeply human form of escape might help explain why some books stay with us long after we\u2019ve closed them…<\/p>\n

Around the World in Eighty Days\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Jules Verne (1872)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Adventure novel<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> France<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> Europe, Africa, America, Asia<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman known for his composure, bets that he can travel around the world in just eighty days. Accompanied by his faithful servant Passepartout, he sets off on a thrilling race across several continents.<\/p>\n

From London to Bombay, via Suez, Hong Kong and New York, the scenery changes at every stop on the eccentric dandy\u2019s journey. More than 150 years after its publication, this <\/em>classic of French literature<\/em><\/a> remains a celebration of discovery and curiosity. Jules Verne shows all his talent for inspiring wonder and the desire to explore new lands.<\/em><\/p>\n

Solal\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Albert Cohen (1930)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Literary novel<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Greece<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> Greece, France, Switzerland<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> On the Greek island of Cephalonia, Solal, son of the chief rabbi, dreams of a destiny greater than the one his background seems to have in store for him. Causing scandal and embarrassment among those around him, this ambitious and brilliant young man decides to leave his island to conquer the world…<\/p>\n

With <\/em>Solal<\/em><\/a>, Albert Cohen immerses us in a Mediterranean radiant with light. The villages perched above the sea, the family traditions and the warmth of the island communities give this novel a unique flavour. Albert Cohen\u2019s Greece is not just visited: it is felt.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Leopard\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (1958)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Historical novel<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Italy<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> Sicily<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> Garibaldi\u2019s troops have just landed in Sicily and revolution is flaring up. As Italy unifies, the Prince of Salina, a Sicilian aristocrat, watches helplessly as the aristocratic world to which he belongs crumbles. Caught between political ambitions, family alliances and threatened traditions, he tries to find his place in a society undergoing profound transformation.<\/p>\n

Few books that take us on a journey do so with as much elegance as <\/em>The Leopard<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Set against the backdrop of Sicily\u2019s palaces, <\/em>sun-drenched <\/em>landscapes, and political upheavals, Lampedusa\u2019s masterpiece transports readers to a pivotal moment in history. Through the decline of one world and the emergence of another, the novel explores themes of change and resilience that remain strikingly relevant today.<\/em><\/p>\n

One Hundred Years of Solitude\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez (1967)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Novel, magical realism<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Colombia<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> Colombia<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> In the fictional village of Macondo, several generations of the Buend\u00eda family experience the joys, tragedies, wars and miracles that will mark their destiny. Impossible loves, quests for power and inexplicable phenomena intertwine in a family saga as fascinating as it is deeply moving.<\/p>\n

This <\/em>Ibero-American masterpiece<\/em><\/a> is considered one of the greatest novels of the 20th<\/sup> century. Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez recreates a Colombia that is at once real and mythical, populated by unforgettable characters and landscapes, with astonishing fluidity. It is a journey where imagination serves as a compass.<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday, or, The Other Island\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Michel Tournier (1967)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Philosophical novel, adventure<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> France<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> A lost island in the Pacific<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> After a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe washes up on a desert island off the coast of Chile. For years, he learns to survive alone in this wild world he desperately tries to tame. The arrival of Friday, a man of mixed heritage, will however challenge his certainties and transform his worldview.<\/p>\n

The setting of <\/em>Friday, or, The Other Island<\/em><\/a> is dreamlike: deserted beaches, lush vegetation and an infinite horizon. Yet this journey is nothing like a simple exotic getaway at an all-inclusive. Michel Tournier turns the island of Speranza into a character in its own right and ultimately pushes us to reflect on freedom, solitude and human nature. It\u2019s a book that invites you as much to explore your own thoughts as a distant territory.<\/em><\/p>\n

Flash ou le Grand Voyage<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Charles Duchaussois (1971)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Autobiographical account<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> France<\/p>\n

Destination<\/strong>: France, Middle East, Asia<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> It is the late 1960s. Charles, a young European, can no longer stand the routine of his existence. In search of meaning and new experiences, he embarks on a long journey to the East. His travels take him to India and Nepal in particular, where he discovers a world as fascinating as it is destabilizing.<\/p>\n

A true literary phenomenon when it was published, <\/em>Flash ou le Grand Voyage<\/em><\/a> recounts a journey along the roads of Asia, at a time when this part of the world held a powerful attraction for a whole generation of travellers. It appears here in all its complexity: inspiring, colourful, disturbing and deeply spiritual. The author\u2019s encounters, the landscapes and the cultural contrasts give the narrative a particular intensity that leaves no one indifferent.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Thorn Birds\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Colleen McCullough (1977)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Family saga<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Australia<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> Australian Outback<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> On the vast Drogheda estate, in the heart of the Australian Outback, Meggie Cleary grows up under the watchful eye of Father Ralph de Bricassart. Over the years, their bond turns into a love as powerful as it is impossible, tested by social conventions, life choices and destiny.<\/p>\n

The Thorn Birds<\/em><\/a> is much more than a love story: it\u2019s a true dive into the soul of Australia. The herds crossing endless horizons, the isolated farms and the challenges of rural life are as important as the characters themselves. It\u2019s no wonder this novel became the best-selling Australian book in the world, with 30 million copies sold worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n

Leo Africanus\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Amin Maalouf (1986)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Historic novel<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Lebanon<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> North Africa, Mediterranean<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> In 1518, Hassan al-Wazzan, a North African scholar and diplomat, was captured by pirates in the Mediterranean as he was returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca. Presented to Pope Leo X, he became Jean-Leo de Medici, soon known as Leo Africanus. From Granada to Fez, from Cairo to Rome, his exceptional journey takes him to the heart of the great upheavals of the 16th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a real historical figure, <\/em>Leo Africanus<\/em><\/a> is a reflection on identity, exile and encountering other cultures. Amin Maalouf finely recreates the bustling markets, the palaces, the caravans and the confluence of civilizations. The cultural richness of this story is a reminder that the most memorable journeys are often those that broaden our view of the world.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Medicine Walk\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Richard Wagamese (2014)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Anishinaabe Ojibwe Canadian novel<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Canada<\/p>\n

Destination:<\/strong> British Columbia (Canada)<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> At sixteen, Franklin Starlight is called to his father Eldon\u2019s bedside\u00a0\u2013\u00a0ravaged by alcohol and close to death. At his father\u2019s request, the two men embark on one last journey into the mountains of British Columbia to give him the burial he wants. As Eldon recounts the joys, regrets and sacrifices of his life, father and son get to know each other before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

Richard Wagamese, an important figure in Indigenous Canadian literature, delivers a <\/em>moving story about family ties<\/em><\/a>, forgiveness and the passing on of knowledge. The majestic landscapes of Western Canada provide the backdrop for a particularly touching novel that lingers long in the memory.<\/em><\/p>\n

Feral\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba (2019)<\/h3>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Quebecois novel<\/p>\n

Country:<\/strong> Canada, (Quebec)<\/p>\n

No need to cross the Atlantic or head off to the islands to feel worlds away. In <\/em>Feral<\/em><\/a>, Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba takes us deep into the forests of the Lower St. Lawrence, where spruce trees, rivers and mountains still set the rhythm of daily life. Her writing is so evocative you can almost smell the damp wood after the rain. For nature lovers, it\u2019s a beautiful invitation to rediscover this region of Quebec through a poetic and wild lens.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your next destination is just a page away<\/h2>\n

Emily Dickinson once wrote: \u201cThere is no Frigate like a Book to take us Lands away.\u201d The novels featured here prove her right. Each opens a window onto different landscapes, cultures and sensibilities you might never have imagined. This list is, of course, only a tiny sampling\u00a0\u2013\u00a0but it\u2019s a wonderful invitation to get away.<\/p>\n
