Sobre este artículo
Abacus, 2002. None. Paperback. Good. Outline:- They stuck their coaches on ride-on ride off ferries whisked through France and Italy moaning about garlic and rudeness then bored the neighbours to death by having them all round to look at their holiday watercolours` Many people associate the Grand Tour with the baggy shirted Byrons of its 19th century heyday but someone had to do it first and Thomas Coryate author of arguably the first piece of pure travel writing CRUDITIES was that man. Tim Moore travels through 45 cities in the steps of a larger-than-life Jacobean hero incidentally responsible for introducing forks to England and thus ending forever the days of the finger-lickin`-good drumstick hurlers of courts gone by. Coryate`s early 17th century bawdy anecdotes include being pelted with eggs pursued by a knife wielding man in a turban and finally being vomited on copiously by a topless woman with a beer barrel on her head:- For once Tim Moore has no trouble keeping up the modern-day side. And his authentic method of travel to replicate these adventures? A clapped-out pink Rolls Royce of course.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Abacus The date of this copy is 2002 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
