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