Literary notes about TRAVEL (AI summary)
In literature, “travel” serves as a versatile term that bridges the physical journey with metaphorical and emotional quests. Authors use it to depict literal movement—to cover vast distances or embark on explorations of unfamiliar territories ([1], [2], [3])—while also employing it to symbolize personal freedom, self-discovery, and the relentless pursuit of growth ([4], [5], [6]). At times, the word extends beyond its conventional meaning, appearing in technical discussions of motion or distance ([7], [8]) and even echoing the broader human experience of venturing into the unknown, whether in the realms of history, commerce, or the inner landscapes of the mind ([9], [10]).
