Hobby/Freizeit Gewicht: 285 gr / Abmessung: 20 cm Von Bryson, Bill Hinweis: Lieferung vom Verlag mit leichten Qualitätsmängeln möglich A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. The Lost Continent is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth (he should know better), the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him across 38 states. Lucky for us, he brought a notebook. With a razor wit and a kind heart, Bryson serves up a colourful tale of boredom, kitsch, and beauty when you least expect it. Gentler elements aside, The Lost Continent is an amusing book. Here's Bryson on the women of his native state: "I will say this, however-and it's a strange, strange thing-the teenaged daughters of these fat women are always utterly delectable ... I don't know what it is that happens to them, but it must be awful to marry one of those nubile cuties knowing that there is a time bomb ticking away in her that will at some unknown date make her bloat out into something huge and grotesque, presumably all of a sudden and without much notice, like a self- inflating raft from which the pin has been yanked." Yes, Bill, but be honest: what do you really think? A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. The Lost Continent is no exception.
