Voyage is the first part of Tom Stoppards trilogy The Coast of Utopia, an epic but also intimate drama of romantics and revolutionaries in an age of emperors.Beginning in 1833, Voyage takes up the story of the future anarchist Michael Bakunin when his stage was still Premukhino, the Bakunin family estate, and Moscow under the repressive rule of Tsar Nicolas I, and when Michael and his four sisters, like many upper-class Russians of their generation, were in the thrall of German idealistic philosophy. I knew there were families, remarks his friend, the brilliant young critic Vissarion Belinsky. I come from a family. But I had no idea. But family life, with its passionate ties and conflagrations, all in the cause of exalted love and idealism, is left behind for ever when Michael at the age of twenty-six sets sail for Germany, waved goodbye by his newest friend, the first self-proclaimed socialist in Russian history, Alexander Herzen: the move from pure thought to revolutionary action is on the horizon.

Los textos reunidos en Vivir de viaje presentan un rasgo peculiar y definitorio de Sara Gallardo: el desplazamiento como modo de vida, ya sea a causa de los viajes realizados por elección o necesidad personal, ya sea por los que emprende como enviada de los diarios o las revistas en los que trabaja.Siempre en movimiento, Sara recorre Europa, donde se instala largas temporadas, y desde alli escribe numerosas notas de actualidad sobre moda, politica y cine, o acerca de la fama de Maradona o el entierro de Borges. Tambien en America su mirada capta lo nuevo y lo entrega a sus lectores en una version propia, muchas veces desafiante y otras tantas, ironica. Asi, se ocupa de los lideres de la Revolucion cubana o de la inmigracion latina en Nueva York o de las temporadas veraniegas en Punta del Este. Ademas, Sara va y viene por Argentina, de donde extrae material para sus novelas a la vez que redacta su columna periodistica.Con sus ojos, su oido y su escritura, Sara Gallardo no solo redescubre cada lugar recorrido o habitado, sino que se redescubre a si misma. Como afirma Lucia De Leone en el prologo: "Sara sabe que afincarse es apartarse del misterio, y frente al encierro o la permanencia en un lugar siempre elegira la otra via: escaparse".
