It was perhaps inevitable that Richard Halliburton, such a romantic, imaginative wanderer, would follow in the footsteps of another legendary traveller
- Odysseus. Halliburton`s second book, The Glorious Adventure describes his journey through the Mediterranean in the shadow of his mythical hero. In Greece, Halliburton charged Mount Olympus `in order to visit the gods that dwelled there`; he swam the Hellespont as Byron had before him & journeyed on to Troy, where Odysseus`s long adventure began. He sailed to Stromboli in the Tyrrhenian Sea, home of Aeolus god of the winds; then to the Bay of Naples, Circeo
- `island` of Circe
- & Li Galli, the siren isles that shimmered off the Amalfi coast. Battling through the Straits of Messina, Odysseus`s Scylla & Charybdis, he explored Sicily & Corfu before setting out for the shores of Ithaca, long-forgotten home for one, the end of an adventure for another. As epic & eventful as The Odyssey itself & one of the most captivating travel books of the 20th century, The Glorious Adventure evokes the romance of another time, when heroes & gods walked the earth.

The Russian Empire once extended deep into America: in 1818 Russia`s furthest outposts were in California & Hawaii. The dreamer behind this great Imperial vision was Nikolai Rezanov
- diplomat, adventurer, courtier, millionaire & gambler. His quest to plant Russian colonies from Siberia to California led him to San Francisco, where he was captivated by Conchita, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Spanish Governor, who embodied his dreams of both love & empire. From the glittering court of Catherine the Great to the wilds of the New World, Matthews conjures a brilliantly original portrait of one of Russia`s most eccentric Empire-builders.
