Reise in ein historisches London

Heute Abend habe ich den Graham Greene ausgelesen und war wieder schwer begeistert. Eigentlich ging es mehr um die Liebesgeschichte, die kein Happy End hatte, die Spionage kam eher am Rande vor. Trotzdem ein unglaublich gutes Buch.

Morgen in der Straßenbahn werde ich dann damit beginnen:



Michael PATERSON
Voices from Dickens' London

Product Description: This book offers a fascinating, evocative account of 19th-century London, so well known from Charles Dickens' much-loved novels. This book draws on descriptions of life in the capital from original letters, diaries and newspapers, as well as Dickens' own social commentary, to paint a vivid portrait of a city undergoing massive social changes. A unique gazetteer section with a modern-day map allows the reader to discover where places and attractions mentioned in the text can be seen in today's London.
