FROM THE PUBLISHER - The Travellers' Dictionary of Quotation is a fascinating and wide-ranging anthology answering the question 'Who said what about where?' 10 000 quotations celebrate places and people across the globe and reveal the joys and perils of travel itself. Selections taken from journals and letters, verse and song, travel writing, fiction, journalism, history and drama are all presented here, and a careful chronological arrangement within the entries displays the changing experiences and evolving attitudes of the traveller through history to the present day. Drawing together well-known comment and less familiar extracts, from the reports of the earliest explorers to the epigrams of modern tourists, from the topographical to the historical and political, this book will delight and inform both the truly intrepid and the armchair traveller. inventory #11749 ISBN: 0415027608.
