'The Voyage' is a story warm with Morgan's love of France. Set in the Charente country and the Paris music-halls of the 1930s, 'The Voyage' tells of the travails of one man s quest for love: love for a woman, and love for France. First published in 1940, 'The Voyage' is widely regarded as Charles Morgan s finest work. Revived here by Capuchin Classics, and introduced afresh by Anthony Gardner, this edition makes 'The Voyage' available once more to a modern readership. 'The Voyage' won the James Tait Black memorial prize in 1940.
