«Le Voyage» is Paul Morand's travel essay, published by Pocket in paperback format (147 pages, in French).
Morand evokes an era of travel on ocean liners and on the Orient Express, with leather luggage and a world in the midst of transformation. The work combines an intimate diary, a sketchbook, a philosophical reflection and a pamphlet to defend travel as a gesture of independence, escape from routine and recovery of childhood.
The book was published in 1994 and includes a preface by Jean-Luc Coatalem. Paul Morand (1888-1976) was elected to the Académie française in 1968.
