Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. Settled in England for many years, he moved to America with his wife and four children for a few years, but has since returned to live in the UK. His bestselling travel books include The Lost Continent, Notes From a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods and Down Under. His acclaimed work of popular science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Aventis Prize and the Descartes Prize, and was the biggest selling non-fiction book of the decade in the UK.
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.

大鬍子比爾•布萊森的作品幽默、睿智,文筆非常瀟灑,是當代最負勝名的遊記作傢,寫瞭多本極其暢銷的遊記作品,同時還是一位科普作傢,那本大受歡迎的《萬物簡史》也齣自他手。他(1915—)生於美國艾奧瓦州,熱愛旅遊,當初就是通過寫遊記受到媒體賞識和大眾喜愛。其後他定...
評分不知道有多少人有自助遊歐洲的夢想。 對於離歐洲太遠的人,比如我,就覺得如果去瞭一次,在那麼重的往返路費的壓力下,還是要多玩一些,於是就開始貪心。 遊玩還是隨性最好。能玩下去就繼續,覺得開始纍想傢人就迴傢。 書描寫各個地方的風土人情是極好的,寫奧斯陸,寫丹麥...
評分比爾不萊森幾乎可以說是我最喜歡的遊記作傢,全書隨處可見令人捧腹的金光閃閃的句子。今天摘抄的時候,我突然想,其實通篇寫的都是他對世界的好奇啊,隻有被好奇心驅使著去探尋的欲望,纔能寫下這些讓人忍俊不禁的文字。好奇心是很難保持的,在去過一些地方,看過一些風景之後...
評分If you have a sense of humor, I bet you'll love this book. I bought it from Chaterhouse Booktraders in Shanghai, and finished it during the New Year holidays. He started this European trip from the northern-most city of Hammerfest, and finished at Istanbul...
評分歐洲一直是我的夢想,相信也是很多人的夢想,當初就是被歐洲兩字吸引購買的本書,但內容遠超我意料的吸引。並不是因為書裏描寫的風景多美好,事實上,每一本遊記類書,讀者所獲得的快感隻能靠意淫。而比爾·布萊森給予我的,隻是一次純粹的個人旅遊經曆,與暢銷書無關,與國界...
