ISBN: 9781570033803 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Venice to Vietnam, from the Welsh coast to Cairo, Don Meredith has traveled in the wake of twentieth-century writers, using their novels and poems as guides, as another wayfarer might turn to Fodor's or the Guide Bleu. Canvassing the works of authors especially attuned to a sense of place, he has gone in search of the backstreets, basilicas, cafes, piazzas, and countrysides that figured so powerfully in their writings. Part travelogue, part literary study, Where the Tigers Were is Meredith's account of these explorations into the impact of place in a dozen literary classics.
