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 -- Colin
Thubron * The Times *
Honest, funny and dripping with witty aphorisms. Extremely
entertaining and enlightening . . . all the way to journey's end *
