Sinopsis
The first ascent of Everest. The fall of the Berlin Wall. The Eichmann trial. The handover of Hong Kong.
Award-winning travel writer and reporter Jan Morris was the twentieth century (Sara Wheeler). An eyewitness to the most dramatic events of the era, Morris journalism is unmatched for its unique style: its impressionistic descriptive flair, its humour, its wisdom, and its emotional perceptiveness.
Spanning five decades and the entire globe - from New York to Venice, Sydney to Berlin, Baghdad to Barbados - this landmark collection of her most famous adventures invites you to take an epic armchair journey through modern history with an extraordinary guide.
