Dear Librarian, If your readers loved Longitude or The Professor and the Madman, I hope you'll take the time to introduce them to A SENSE OF THE WORLD. It's the first book to tell the captivating, true story of a man known as The Blind Traveler--a sightless adventurer who, astonishingly, fought the slave trade in Africa, survived a frozen captivity in Siberia, and became the most prolific solo traveler of all time. Once an inspiration to Charles Darwin and Sir Richard Francis Burton, he died in an obscurity that has endured--until now. Dave Eggers calls it “one of the best and most life-affirming biographies I’ve ever read.” Mary Roach says, "Astounding...you feel you are not reading a life, but seeing it." Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus give it starred reviews. To celebrate the publication of A SENSE OF THE WORLD, I'm giving away one dozen signed first editions. For details, you and your readers can visit me at www.jasonroberts.net. Jason
