Beschreibung
Inspired Traveller’s Guides: Literary Places takes you on an enlightening journey through the key locations of literature’s best and brightest authors, movements and moments – brought to life through comprehensively researched text and stunning hand-drawn artwork.
Travel journalist Sarah Baxter provides comprehensive and atmospheric outlines of the
history and culture of 25 literary places around the globe, as well as how they intersect with the
lives of the authors and the works that make them significant.
Full-page colour illustrations instantly transport you to each location. You’ll find that these places are not just backdrops to the tales told, but characters in their own right.
Travel to the sun-scorched plains of Don Quixote’s La Mancha, roam the wild Yorkshire moors with Cathy and Heathcliff or view Central Park through the eyes of
J.D. Salinger’s antihero. Explore the lush and languid backwaters of
Arundhati Roy’s Kerala, the imposing precipice of
Joan Lindsay’s Hanging Rock and the labyrinthine streets and sewers of
Victor Hugo’s Paris.
