Rezensionen

'A writer of genius' William Dalrymple

'Eminently readable ... The book's great strength lies in its ability to swoop deftly and lightly between things that may be familiar to us in themselves, but which we might be tempted to separate out in our attempts to form a picture of the world.' Edward Wilson-Lee The Times Literary Supplement
