"Most great stories of adventure, from The Hobbit to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, come furnished with a map. That's because every story of adventure is in part the story of landscape, of the interralationship between human beings (or Hobbits, as the case may be) and topography. Every adventure story is conceivable only with refence to a particular set of geographical features that in each case sets the course, literally, of the tale."-Michael Chabon
