A SENSE OF THE WORLD
How a Blind Man Became History's Greatest Traveler


from the book jacket:

A Sense of the World is a spellbinding and moving rediscovery of one of history’s most epic lives. Drawing on meticulous research, Jason Roberts ushers us into The Blind Traveler's uniquely vivid sensory realm, then sweeps us away on an extraordinary journey across the known world during the Age of Exploration. Rich with suspense, humor, international intrigue and unforgettable characters, this is a story to awaken our own senses of wonder and awe.

from the San Francisco Chronicle:
A Sense of the World is a vastly entertaining, always informative and often astonishing account. Roberts offers a portrait not just of a brilliant traveler but also of his age: an era when the globe was still rife with mysteries.
