ââ?¬Å"Places in Time: Reflection on a Journeyââ?¬Â? is a wonderful example of a travel book. In following along with Maxine Rose Schur on her adventures, readers who are looking for a way to travel to many beautiful places without leaving their chairs, can immerse themselves in the stories in this collection and feel as if these places are being brought right into their own living room.
Maxine Rose Schur has written numerous travel essays that give an overview of the places where she and her husband have been. Many of these stories have now been combined in this one book, interspersed with wonderful photographs that allow the reader a glimpse into these places and people. ââ?¬Å"Places in Timeââ?¬Â? tells many stories of when the author and her husband traveled in the early 70s. Each one gives a genuine and accurate look into the places and especially the people that they met along the way, making it all the more interesting and enlightening.
ââ?¬Å"Places in Timeââ?¬Â? is an in-depth look into many different cultures that most people will know little about as they begin to read. Maxine and her husband obviously took great pains during their travels to fully understand and become a part of the culture so that they could be completely involved with the people that they met. Each story is a wonderful example of how we are all one people regardless of location or language and how, when the effort is put in, we can learn from and truly enjoy being a small part of another culture.
The book is extremely well-written, and the author�s voice is very real and extremely perceptive as she gives the reader an honest look into these places and people. Whether in Paris, Turkey, or Australia each story is full of fun and excitement. Loads of historical facts about the locations give readers not only a very worthwhile account but also a very educational one. The writing is excellent and the people in the book are very well-developed and transferred to the pages so that, as a reader, you will feel as if you are coming to know each and every one of them as the author did.
ââ?¬Å"Places in Time: Reflection on a Journeyââ?¬Â? is a book that I would recommend to all readers. Whether you are a seasoned traveler who has made your own way to some of these places or a person who just enjoys curling up with a great book, you can learn more about other places without actually leaving your living room. I enjoyed it very much and I believe that you will, too.
