May issue cover story on Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation's work in Haiti.

The story of a two-week 2014 journey through Egypt--Cairo, the oases of the Western Desert, Aswan, and Luxor.

Communing with ancient things on an eight-day trip through Greece--Athens, Delphi, Santorini, Spetses, the Peloponnese.

I worked for a day as a hotel housekeeper at the Waldorf Astoria in Chicago, doing everything the housekeeping staff does--making beds, cleaning rooms and, yes, bathrooms. This is my account of a long, hard, and illuminating eight hours behind the scenes at one of America's premier hotels.

The second volume of the acclaimed anthology from the archives of America's premier travel magazine brings together 30 wonderful tales by preeminent writers of both fiction and non-fiction on their trips of a lifetime.

The account of seven days traveling through Rwanda with the health organization Population Services International, fourteen years after the outbreak of the genocide. Museums, memorials, health clinics, orphanages, villages, and mountain gorillas.

The first volume of this compendium of top travel writing from the archives of the magazine features 21 timeless stories from some of our finest journalists, novelists, and essayists, including: Simon Winchester, Shirley Hazzard, Edmund White, Robert Hughes, Nicole Krauss, Jan Morris, Philip Gourevitch, John Julius Norwich, Patricia Storace, William Dalrymple, James Truman, and others.

I traveled for 13 days through Egypt, including Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, with notebook in hand and a mission: to create and thoroughly vet a day-by-day, hour-by-hour, almost step-by-step guide to seeing this most iconic of places in the best possible way.

The autobiographical last book by the world-renowned Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski, of whom John Le Carre once famously said: "If Garcia Marquez is the grand wizard of modern fiction, Kapuscinski is the conjurer extraordinary of modern reportage."

The story of a two-week journey of discovery along the Baltic coast of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland.

A personal essay on the art--and the highs and the lows, the agony and the ecstasy--of translating the books of a famous writer.

Kapuscinski arrived in Africa in 1957, at the beginning of the end of colonial rule--the "sometimes dramatic and painful, sometimes enjoyable and jubilant" rebirth of a continent. "The Shadow of the Sun" sums up his experiences in this place that became the central obsession of his remarkable career. A masterpiece from a modern master, whom the Los Angeles Times called "a transcendental journalist."

"When our children's children want to study the cruelties of the late twentieth century," The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, "they should read Ryszard Kapuscinski." This tome on the Soviet Union is a case in point. As somber as its overarching topic may be, Kapuscinksi is nevertheless "an enchanting guide," wrote The New York TImes Book Review, "combining boundless stamina, felicitous writing, childlike curiosity, and the literate authority of a true intellectual."

A novel set in Nazi-occupied Warsaw in 1943, about a Jewish woman passing as the widow of a Polish army officer. From a review in The Los Angeles Times: "Author and translator are perfectly matched talents. A passionately committed and supremely ironic writer, Szczypiorski has had the good fortune to see the nuances of his native language turned into lyrical and idiomatic English."

Monthly editorials, from nearly nine years, on a broad range of subjects--riffing on the content of that month's issue of the magazine but serving also as travel pieces in miniature.
