I am extremely pleased to present the May issue of Recce: Literary Journeys for the Discerning Traveler.
This month in Roundtable, the Atlantic's Moscow-based correspondent, Jeffrey Tayler, describes the historical and cultural riches and revelations he discovered on his first visit to Cusco, in Peru's Sacred Valley.
In Soundings, we talk with Buddhist scholar Shantum Seth about his journeys -- personal and professional -- in the footsteps of the Buddha. In Brilliant Books, we present an excerpt from "Radio Shangri-La," Lisa Napoli's delightful memoir of expat life in Bhutan. And in Fresh from the Field, we showcase a vivid portfolio of images of little-visited Eastern Turkey, from the exquisite work of photographer Jon Arnold.
Finally, in Illuminations, I take a journey around the world through my journals -- and realize all over again why travel is such a precious part of my life.
You can click on any of the links below to read these. I hope you'll enjoy this issue. I'd appreciate any feedback you want to send my way.
With all best wishes,
Don George
Editor in Chief
