Opis

'The Memory Chalet' is a memoir like no other. Each essay charts an experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning.

Recenzje

Witty, profound, controversial... Wonderfully written... A wellspring of enlightenment you need to spend time with Peter Preston Observer
