Thank you!

Great review of "The Traveller" in @nybooks.com by Jenny Uglow. “An exhilarating work of historical imagination, recording the life of an extraordinary traveler, writer, and revolutionary figure with rare vitality and power” www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Thank you @mathewlyons.bsky.social for this fantastic review of "The Traveller"!!

I’m a talk on “The Traveller” on Thursday in London @linneansociety.bsky.social members.linnean.org/events/69614...

I wrote an article for @unherd.com about the Founding Fathers and how their love for nature shaped America as a nation. With a few comparisons to the current state of things. And the 250th anniversary of the US. unherd.com/author/andre...

@andreawulf.bsky.social I was interviewed on Radio NZ today and a listener wanted to know why so many very different NZ plants have the epithet forsteri. I was able to tell them what to read about Forster 🙂

And here is my interview for The Scotsman about Forster and 'The Traveller" - for the Edinburgh Festival were I will speak on 17 August. www.scotsman.com/arts-and-cul...

We added lots more events to the UK tour for "The Traveller". Come along.

This is the Korean edition of "Magnificent Rebels". Happy to send a signed copy for free to anyone in the UK. DM me.

@andreawulf.bsky.social Looking forward to reading The Traveller (in Dutch).

Yesterday I started at 4am in Buffalo and ended the day with a talk at the glorious Charleston Library Society. One of my favourite places in the US. I think this is my 6th talk in Charleston. #BookTours #The Traveller

From Alexander the Great to the Great Exhibition, the South Seas to Iran, here are our picks for June, with books from @andreawulf.bsky.social, @yjtorbati.bsky.social, @laurenworking.bsky.social and many more👇 (with apologies for the late posting!)

'The Traveller' is Book of the Week in 'Review of Reviews' in THE WEEK. Very exciting. And incidentally, there is also a mention of my review of Maggie O'Farrell's amazing "Land" (which I loved). Double whammy!

I wrote an op-ed for the LA Times about James Madison (this has nothing to do with "The Traveller") and how the US right invokes Madison for their agenda ... but ignores the fact that he's the father of American environmentalism. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

I’m speaking about “The Traveler” on Monday (15 June) in Washington DC @politicsprose.bsky.social - come, it’s free.

Fantastic new book from Andrea Wulf: insightful, eloquent, and deeply thought provoking.

“Andrea Wulf’s magnificent book … George’s efforts to adapt to life and work at sea, as laid out in “The Traveler,” are as exciting as anything in the pages of Robert Louis Stevenson” – John Banville in the Wall Street Journal www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

“Wulf’s biography is filled with marvellous details …this is a fascinating book about a fascinating life” – Financial Times www.ft.com/content/e902...

"The Traveller" is one of the best reviewed books this week according to Lit Hub! Yeah!! lithub.com/what-should-...

And here is the link to Start the Week where we discussed science and discovery. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This was fun! Thank you @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for letting me talk about THREE books not just one.

Some #histSTM on Radio 4 this morning with 18thC naturalist Georg Forster

Ich freue mich schon sehr auf das neueste Buch von @andreawulf.bsky.social, es soll im Herbst erscheinen: www.penguin.de/buecher/andr...

Thrilled to be on Start the Week on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow morning at 9am to discuss George Forster and my new book "The Traveller".

I wrote a piece in The Observer about George Forster and “The Traveller”.

Needless to say, the moment I heard that @andreawulf.bsky.social had a new book out, I immediately had to run out and buy a copy. Can't wait to read this!

Was kommt nach Illies Zauber der Stille? Ich hab ihren Humboldt so geliebt, weil ich Humboldt auch einfach sehr gern mag. Die Vermessung des Himmels war grandios. Und dieser Prolog ist toll. #Lesenistgeil @andreawulf.bsky.social (sie ist bei Bluesky 😊)

Happy publication day to THE TRAVELLER by @andreawulf.bsky.social on the adventures of an enlightened hero of C18 romanticism

Fab review of "The Traveller" in @theguardian.com "The richness of Wulf’s research – drawn from Forster’s personal correspondence, diaries and essays, as well as those of his contemporaries – injects a novelistic specificity into the scenes she reconstructs" www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Amazing review in New York Times: “Forster is the vibrant subject of Andrea Wulf’s 'The Traveler,' a lively new book that hums with her characteristic verve … 'The Traveler' thrillingly revives the forgotten life of this “liberal thinker far ahead of his time.” I might just go to bed now ... yeah!

"Irresistible." -- Peter Moore, in the Literary Review, on @andreawulf.bsky.social's new biography of the 18th-century traveller, thinker and humanitarian George Forster: literaryreview.co.uk/out-of-the-a....

Huge pub day congrats to @andreawulf.bsky.social for THE brilliant TRAVELLER! Get yours today! 📕 📖 📚

It’s publication day of "The Traveller". It's raining and there is a tube strike in time for the launch tonight but it's prefect reading weather. I take that as a good sign. I can't wait for you to meet the extraordinary George Forster. #TheTraveller

NEW The critically acclaimed biographer @andreawulf.bsky.social recommends five biographies about 18th-century figures, including a landmark account of the life of Goethe and a Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential biography. fivebooks.com/best-books/b...

The US edition of "The Traveler" arrived today. It looks stunning! Thank you to @aaknopf. US pub date is 9 June. I'll be doing talks in NY, DC, Buffalo and Charleston. Details are on my website. Come. Listen. Read. And be enthralled by the remarkable George Forster.

I love receiving foreign editions ... this one is the tiny 2-volume paperback Japanese edition of INVENTION OF NATURE which just arrived. I have 3 copies to give away (only to UK addresses). DM me or email me (my email is on my website).

Here are my 'The Traveler' tour dates for the US this June (I'm having to get used to spelling the title of my book differently ... 'The Traveller' in the UK and 'The Traveler' in the US). Please come - links to the events are on my website.

Better get my hands on a few of these. New stamps in Germany celebrating 50-years of Georg-Forster Antarctic station. Of course after the protagonist of my forthcoming book “The Traveller”

Here are the dates for my UK publicity tour for "The Traveller. The Revolutionary Life of George Forster and his Search for Humanity". Can't wait to tell you all about this man who tried to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart. And he was Humboldt's mentor. Please come!

When I followed George Forster’s footsteps through the South Pacific, we made a trailer for „The Traveller“. Forster was a man far ahead of his time. A man who fought racism and who believed in humanity. Book comes out in June 2026 #GeorgeForster #books

publishersweekly.com/9780593803400 Such a wonderful starred review of 'The Traveler' ... 'Readers will be rapt by this immersive recreation of an intellectual awakening’

I will never get tired of the moment when I receive the first copy of my book. 5 years... it all starts in my head but now it's really really real. An object with pages, words and illustrations. #TheTraveller

Schoß Oberwiederstedt where Novalis was born. Rescued by locals from being razed during GDR times. Today a museum. I had the honour of speaking there yesterday to celebrate 25th anniversary of the Novalis-Stiftung.

I have amazing readers. I did a talk last night in Hermsdorf (it’s a pretty small town not far from Jena with 8000 inhabitants). More than 100 very smart people turned up on a Friday night to hear me talk about the rebellious young Romantics. I do love doing talks in small towns. #booktours

Tomorrow in Hermsdorf near Jena… Fabelhafte Rebellen. 7pm

The Desert Garden at Huntington Botanical Gardens always blows my mind. Every single time.
