Inhaltsangabe

So what's it like to be a travel writer? Best job in the world? How do you become one? Does it answer the question of what we are all doing on this planet anyway?

"Turkey: Bright Sun, Strong Tea" is the story of a US Peace Corps Volunteer who went to Turkey as an English teacher and ended up being one of the world's most prominent travel writers. Along the way, Brosnahan starred in a movie, sipped champagne with 'fat capitalists' in the sultan's gilded palace, fell in love at a circumcision party, almost got eaten by wolves on the Iranian border, drank endless glasses of strong tea...and discovered the meaning of life.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Tom Brosnahan went to Turkey in 1967 as a US Peace Corps Volunteer, taught English for a year, then had an idea: why not write a guidebook? Turkey was beautiful, friendly, inexpensive and undiscovered.

"Turkey on $5 a Day (Frommer's) soon became the most popular guide to the country. Later, his Lonely Planet "Turkey" (1985) was its all-time best-seller, and his guidebooks to a dozen countries sold over four million copies in 10 languages. His Turkey travel website now hosts over two million visitors a year from 160 countries.
