The Century Club is written for anyone and everyone who possesses a passion for travel. It is the story of my personal goal to journey to 100 countries or more and to tell stories about people and places along the way. Others have accomplished the task before, and some have even gone far beyond the magic number of 100. The goal of this book is to share the magic of travel with those who have a similar fervor for discovery, and to establish a challenge to anyone else who might want to try it for themselves. Some people may have already achieved a personal membership into The Century Club and don't even know it. Perhaps a few may be close and only need a handful more countries to succeed themselves. If so, then perhaps this book will create awareness so that you, too, can pursue the dream. For those who have surpassed 100 countries and continue to see the world, this book is a tribute to your accomplishment by telling some of my personal stories and adventures that have made the effort so rewarding and all encompassing for me. The Century Club is about more than mere destinations. It is about understanding other cultures and getting in touch with ourselves at the same time. It is about growth and personal knowledge. And it is about a thirst to see as much of our planet as possible in order to have a greater sense of the role we play as humans during our all too brief visit here on Earth.

Prize-winning biographer Leo Damrosch tells the story of “the Club,” a group of extraordinary writers, artists, and thinkers who gathered weekly at a London tavern In 1763, the painter Joshua Reynolds proposed to his friend Samuel Johnson that they invite a few friends to join them every Friday at the Turk’s Head Tavern in London to dine, drink, and talk until midnight. Eventually the group came to include among its members Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Edward Gibbon, and James Boswell. It was known simply as “the Club.” In this captivating book, Leo Damrosch brings alive a brilliant, competitive, and eccentric cast of characters. With the friendship of the “odd couple” Samuel Johnson and James Boswell at the heart of his narrative, Damrosch conjures up the precarious, exciting, and often brutal world of late eighteenth-century Britain. This is the story of an extraordinary group of people whose ideas helped to shape their age, and our own.
