Travel

In 1954, a young David Attenborough was offered the opportunity of a lifetime: to travel the world to find rare and elusive animals for the London Zoo's collection and to film the expeditions for the BBC's new show, Zoo Quest. This memoir chronicles those legendary voyages. From trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana and Komodo dragons in Indonesia, to battling cannibal fish and unpredictable weather, Attenborough records the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions.

Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. He retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations.

As soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left his hometown, but it eventually lured him back. After ten years living in England, he returned to the land of his youth and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical, perfect small town called Amalgam. Instead of idyllic villages, his journey led him through a series of horrific burgs packed with gas stations, motels, and hamburger outlets, leaving him feeling like a complete foreigner in his own country. A hilariously honest and high-spirited travel classic!

This is a portrait of Venice - contradictory, beautiful. fascinating. It is a first-hand account of the city's struggle to recover from the fire that destroyed the famous Fenice opera house, and a relentless investigation of the lies. corruption and scandal which the disastrous blaze exposed. But most of all, this is a tribute to a people. It is the inhabitants of Venice who are the real stars of this story, from local aristocracy to eccentric street hawkers, from millionaire art collector Peggy Guggenheim to the charismatic Rat Man of Treviso. Together they form a cast of weird, wonderful, utterly unique characters - the beating heart of a truly memorable book.
