Rezension zu „Italian Ways “
"All Italy is here, its history, its character, its flaws...the things that Parks loves about the place" -- Anthony Sattin Sunday Times "This is not a "railway book" in any conventional sense. It is sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued about the absurdities of 'Italian ways'" -- John Lloyd Financial Times "A treat equivalent to a ride on the Orient Express" -- Ben Downing Wall Street Journal (Europe) "A hybrid of travel and cultural history.and very amusing it is too. Parks has done Lecce and all Italy proud in this eccentric hosanna to railroad locomotion" -- Ian Thomson Evening Standard "Tim Parks has written a book about Italian railways that is engrossing, entertaining, and wonderfully revealing about the country and its people. It makes perfect armchair travelling - a delight from beginning to end" -- David Lodge
