Richly evocative, sharp and funny. De Botton proves himself to be a
very fine travel writer indeed
*Sunday Telegraph*
Delightful, profound, entertaining. I doubt if de Botton has
written a dull sentence in his life
*Jan Morris*
An elegant and subtle work, unlike any other. Beguiling
*The Times*
Honest, funny and dripping with witty aphorisms. Extremely
entertaining and enlightening . . . all the way to journey's
end
