Literary Trips: Following in the Footsteps of Fame, כרך 1Victoria Brooks GreatestEscapes.com Pub., 2000 - 362 עמודים "The excitement of finding something strange consists precisely in noting its strangeness," says Paul Bowles in the foreword. In his final bit of writing before his death, Bowles hit on the driving force that impels the best travel writers: the urge to tell someone about their trips. In this book, they find the opportunity, bringing readers along on their journeys to places made unique and fascinating by the works of the best writers in literature. "The feet that are being followed belong to outstanding literary figures. The feet following them are exceptional travel writers." - Toronto Star |
