Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Through past and present, the country and the city, Peter Fiennes takes a literary journey through the British Isles As enjoyable a guide to the relationship of writers to the landscape of Britain as one could hope to read: beautifully written, moving in its reflections, and often very funny. Tom Holland The premise of this book is simple, or that is what it seemed when I started. Peter Fiennes follows in the footsteps of twelve inspirational writers, bringing modern Britain into focus by peering through the lens of the past. The journey starts in Dorset, shaped by the childhood visions of Enid Blyton, and ends with Charles Dickens on the train that took him to his final resting place in Westminster Abbey. From the wilds of Skye and Snowdon, to a big night out in Birmingham with J. B. Priestley and Beryl Bainbridge, Footnotes is a series of evocative biographies, a lyrical foray into the past, and a quest to understand Britain through the books, journals and diaries of some of our greatest writers. And as Fiennes travels the country, and roams across the centuries, he wonders: Who are we? What do we want? They seemed like good questions to ask, in the company of some of our greatest writers, given these restless times. *** AGuardianTravel Book of the Year Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards Fiennes is a perceptive reader and a good-humoured guide and his book offers a superb commentary on the connections between lesser-known places and writers Footnotes is a passionate, partisan call for readers to take action before the British countryside may be encountered only between the pages of a book. TLS Honing his easy-going and often witty style in this new book, Fiennes takes us on the journeys of famous writers Theres an infectious enthusiasm and self-deprecating authority to Fienness insights and hes a most agreeable companion There will be many nature titles vying for a place on Christmas lists this year This one should be towards the topGuardian Marvellously quotable. Fiennes literary journey makes for a provocative and engaging book. Financial Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
