Wandering is a starting point of human behavior, from the beginning of history. It is identified with the struggle of man for survival, for expanding his living space, for satisfying his curiosity, and for what largely constitutes the world that surrounds him.
The discovery of the new, the approach to the different, the understanding of diversity and its relevance to human experience and knowledge in the face of the infinite and all-powerful nature and universe, constitute the Ithaca of discoveries.
This book is a comprehensive, informative, and vivid narration of this great wandering, from Pytheas and the Vikings, to Columbus and Scott, through their own narratives and adventures, in their attempt to expand knowledge about the planet, to come into contact with the Other, and to open new paths.
In short, it is a journey into the books of travels, a rich description of this endless Odyssey, which above all, proved to be an experience of limits. Limits of space-time, limits of the world, limits of the individuals themselves and their destiny from which they have not yet escaped.
