Sobre este artículo
William Morrow & Co., 1992. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Near Fine DJ. First printing, very good hardcover is tight and internally clean while showing soiling to front cover, along with what looks like coffee staining to bottom edges of covers and bit of same to bottom page edges, as well as some other light trace wear, in a fine dust jacket (price at flap). 254 pages with end paper maps. Still a pleasing copy of this work that "..gives a trenchant and always amusing tourist's-eye view of some countries whose culture and history (if not their elevators and pop songs) are a part of our common heritage.
Sinopsis
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither here Nor there he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hamemrfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant, window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn or disputing his hotel bill in Copenhagen, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.
