Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he 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. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, 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. He even goes to Liechtenstein.
Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. Settled in England for many years, he moved to America with his wife and four children for a few years, but has since returned to live in the UK. His bestselling travel books include The Lost Continent, Notes From a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods and Down Under. His acclaimed work of popular science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Aventis Prize and the Descartes Prize, and was the biggest selling non-fiction book of the decade in the UK.
原来这本书,bill bryson写于1992年啊,到现在快20年了。 书里有些内容有些景象肯定有了很多变化啊。 不过有些搞笑的地方比如丸子集体跳水啊,意大利面和你博弈啊,让我回想起来还是有笑点。 游记这种书,还是亲身去过一趟以后看起来更有感触啊,不然一路读下来云里雾里的。 总...
評分因为之前很少看书的缘故,现在看着这种外国人的书的中文译本,难免会觉得有点不适应、别扭,所以断断续续,这本书看了两个礼拜才看完。书中作者对自己的旅行见闻经历的描写,有很多有趣,值得回味的地方,也有作者对历史、城市的理性思考,从中也学到一些知识。只是读到后半部...
評分七年前看过的书现在竟然一点印象都没有!真的崩溃。最近在看英文版电子书竟然如新!2013年我还记得去墨尔本的时候手捧他的《走遍烤焦国》.......时光荏苒,一转眼已是六年!而我也为人夫,为人父!很开心!据说这本书是他的抗鼎之作,但是我竟忘得一干二净。很是惭愧!经过六年...

評分看了评论和前言,本来对这书的期望很高。但如果你去过欧洲,还请你远离这本书。作者写作的背景是九十年代的欧洲,即便如此退让,作者写的东西依旧一无是处,完全像是劝解别人别出门了,或者给那些从未出过远门的人的一些安慰。反正下次看见这位作者的东西,我一定绕道。
