Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Tácito fue el primer gran escritor en mencionar Londres y, desde entonces, muchos otros grandes creadores nos han dejado sus impresiones de la ciudad. En este libro Dostoyevski y Boswell nos acompañan por los bajos fondos londinenses, mientras que Dickens, De Amicis, London o Kipling nos hacen de guías y nos dan consejos para manejarnos en la capital de Inglaterra. Otros, como Beda el Venerable, John Evelyn o Samuel Pepys nos cuentan cómo la ciudad superó pestes, incendios e invasiones, mientras que Soseki, Rimbaud o Verlaine ilustran que no es fácil vivir en Londres si no se dispone de dinero. Jane Austen, Mark Twain o Charlotte Brontë son sólo algunos más de los muchos autores que contribuyen a esta guía, que cuenta también con deliciosos grabados que permiten al lector ver lo que es y también lo que fue. Imprescindible como complemento a una guía tradicional, la Guía literaria de Londres nos permite disfrutar de un triple viaje: en el espacio, hacia los monumentos londinenses; en el tiempo, hacia otras épocas y sensibilidades; y en el espíritu, hacia algunas de las mentes más creativas, divertidas y magníficas que ha dado la Literatura universal. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
