Critics Review
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 * Herald *
