    Introduction : the wonder that came later -- [pt.] I. 'Horizon of expectations' : travels in literary history. A question of form : genre and the journey -- 'An end to journeying' : travel and its discontents in late modernity -- Forms of recovery and renewal : travels in contemporary literature -- [pt.] II. Readings in contemporary travelers' tales of wonder. Bruce Chatwin and the 'modern WONDER VOYAGE' : In Patagonia (1977) -- V.S. Naipaul and the 'gift of wonder' : The enigma of arrival (1987) -- W.G. Sebald's travels through 'das unentdeckte Land' : Die Ringe des Saturn (1995) -- Afterword : the 'unlimited vicissitudes of travelling.'

    This study challenges a sensibility of disenchantment with travel. It reassesses travel writing as an aesthetically and ethically innovative form in contemporary international literature, and demonstrates the crucial role of wonder in the travel narratives of writers such as Bruce Chatwin, V.S. Naipaul, and W.G. Sebald
