About This Item
Reviews
Bernard Levin (1928-2004) was a journalist famous for his wit and lack of reverence. To most people, he will need no introduction. Sometime in the early 1980s (the book was fist published in 1985) he walked part of the route covered by his 'hero' Hannibal on his famous attack on Rome with his 60,000 troops and 37 elephants.I expected the book to cover more of Hannibal's trek than it did - it starts at the French/Spanish border and ends at the French/Italian. This however was no drawback: Mr Levin writes with great clarity and good humour and his asides, which cover many subjects, are both humorous and erudite.A gentle study of one man's passion.210 pages with index and 8 pages of photographs. Highly recommended as a relaxing read.
