Lewis wrote novels all his long life, but he will be remembered for his vivid travelogues, in which he described in telling detail his voyages in Europe and Asia. His autobiographical writings, also imbued with his wanderings, paint a portrait of the ideal traveler: curious, sympathetic, and brave. Graham Greene called Lewis “one of the best writers, not of any particular decade, but of our century.”
