A Florence Diary Zusammenfassung

A Florence Diary Diana Athill (Y)

In August 1947, Diana Athill travelled to Florence by the Golden Arrow train for a two-week holiday with her good friend Pen. In this playful diary of that trip, Athill recorded her observations and adventures - eating with (and paid for by) the hopeful men they meet on their travels, admiring architectural sights, sampling delicious pastries, eking out their budget and getting into scrapes. Written with an arresting immediacy and infused with an exhilarating joie de vivre, A Florence Diary is a bright, colourful evocation of a time long lost, and a vibrant portrait of a city that will be deliciously familiar to any contemporary traveller.

A Florence Diary Bewertungen

The vivid intensity and Athill's joy at being young and alive and abroad make [A Florence Diary] perfect for travellers of any age -- Jane Shilling * Daily Mail *
A short, sweet account of Diana Athill's 1947 trip to Florence in which the venerable writer turns her gimlet gaze on everything from Florentine pastries to dull, fellow British tourists. The perfect stocking filler for armchair travellers -- Claire Allfree, Best Non Fiction of 2016 * Metro *
This wonderful book is as near to time travel as anyone could wish and probably just as fun -- Gillian Reynolds * Daily Telegraph *
A delight: as good as time travel -- This week in books, chosen by Gillian Reynolds * Sunday Telegraph *
The buoyant, naive tone of the diary is endearing, and the impressions of the city have a period interest enhanced by the book's black-and-white photographs of familiar Italian views -- Lindsay Duguid * TLS *
Athill records vibrant impressions, [...] each one informed by a sense of wonder that only an outsider can possess -- Christian House * Observer *
A delectable time capsule, [Athill] brings alive the liberation, luck and drama of those Italian days * New York Times *
