Produktbeschreibung
Superbly written articles about cities as different as Las Vegas and Stockholm, about journeys across Europe and China, and about "romantic re-visits" to such historic sites as the Acropolis and the Taj Mahal.

In this collection of pieces on places as different as Las Vegas and Bombay, Athens and Shanghai, and Sydney and Aberdeen, she combines observation, history, and politics to produce the passionate and witty essays that prompted Rebecca West to call her `the best descriptive writer of our times'.
