Adventure novels

Please recommend me your favorite adventure novels. Looking for sprawling tales of characters traveling all over. Huck Finn being a quick example.

Shogun, Howls Moving Castle, Swiss Family Robinson. Travel isn't the main thing tho.

The greatest adventure story of all time
>I suddenly received the news that twenty Red soldiers had surrounded my house to arrest me and that I must escape. I quickly put on one of my friend’s old hunting suits, took some money and hurried away on foot along the back ways of the town till I struck the open road... I bought a rifle, three hundred cartridges, an ax, a knife, a sheepskin overcoat, tea, salt, dry bread and a kettle. I penetrated into the heart of the wood...

The Long Walk

Shogun is great.
I'd also recommend Lonesome Dove.
Or Shantaram.

>traveling all over

Smuggling, shipwrecks, hidden treasure!

The Lost World, Arthur Conan Doyle

BONUS:- it has Professor Challenger in it

Tom Jones (Fielding) is one you could try.

Hemingway's Nick Adams stories, taken all together, sort of form one long rambling travel+adventure book.

Mason & Dixon

Candide

"Goldust "by Ibrahim al Koni. Read it a few weeks ago, it shoud be an essential Veeky Forums book imo

Maclean is great

If you didn't read Kidnapped as a kid, cut your losses and read it now.

The Lost City of Z.

The Odyssey

Doesn't fit your description but certainly feels very adventurous: Balzac and Stendhal

I love historical fiction with a lot of travelling. Try pretty much anything by Gary Jennings, like "The Journeyer" (about Marco Polo), or the "Spangle" series about a 19th century circus travelling all over the world, or one of my favourites "Raptor". "Aztec" is really good, too. Also "The Assyrian" and "Bloodstar" by Nicholas Guild. And of course the granddaddy of all historical fiction novels, "Sinuhe the Egyptian" by Mika Waltari. Two kickass books are "ironfire" (later published under the name "The Sword and the Scimitar") and "Empires of Sand" by David Ball.

Wheel of time, be warned the writing can be pretty dense at times but its great, there is an audiobook that makes the boring bits easier to get through

Blood Meridian

she
a strange manuscript found in a copper cylinder

Huck Finn?
Read Kipling's Kim.

Nice

Checking this out

Stormlight archive

thanks senpai! I love historical novels, but I've been having a hard time finding good ones. You just made my life easier.

Definitely this.

Gravity's Rainbow
Seriously

The Long Ships
Count of Montecristo
Heart of Darkness
The Scarlet Pimpernel
If you can stand Sword and Sorcery fantasy, Jack Vance and Moorcock are great. Also Gene Wolfe (TBotNS, The Wizard/Knight)
The Lost World as mentioned, but it took me literally 3 years to finish it when I was a teenager

> Some years ago--never mind how long precisely --having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

Its about a kid who gets stranded in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his hatchet.
