Travel literature

Deutsch: Als Reisebericht oder Reisebeschreibung bezeichnet man die (literarische) Darstellung der Beobachtungen und Erlebnisse eines Reisenden. Solche Beschreibungen variieren sehr in Inhalt und Wert, je nach Zweck der jeweiligen Reise.

English: Travel literature is travel writing aspiring to literary value. Travel literature typically records the experiences of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. An individual work is sometimes called a travelogue or itinerary. Travel literature may be cross-cultural or transnational in focus, or may involve travel to different regions within the same country.

Español: Se conoce como Libro de viaje la publicación de las experiencias y observaciones realizadas por un viajero. Estos libros acostumbran estar ilustrados con mapas, dibujos, grabados, fotografías, etc. realizadas por el autor o por sus compañeros de viaje.
