The Duke of Puddle Dock: Travels in the Footsteps of Stamford Raffles (Penguin Travel Library) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Sir Stamford Raffles is known as a man of the Empire, a reforming colonialist and prodigal adventurer. Yet his brilliant career proved to be brief. What happened? Nigel Barley set out to find the reasons as he travelled, literally and imaginatively, through the lands that Raffles had known almost 200 years earlier: from Malacca to Java, Bali to Singapore. Nigel Barley's book - part biography, part the experiences of a contemporary traveller - brings a modern sensibility to veer on a major historical figure. The author also wrote "Native Land", "A Plague of Caterpillars", "Not a Hazardous Sport" and "The Coast".

The Duke Of Puddle Dock
Librería: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: Good. The Duke of Puddle Dock (1993) by Nigel Barley ? as sold by Crappy Old Books A gloriously irreverent blend of travel writing, satire, and historical curiosity, The Duke of Puddle Dock follows anthropologist Nigel Barley on a peculiar quest to unearth the bizarre life of Samuel Alfred Barnett?a forgotten Victorian eccentric, self-styled duke, and dubious do-gooder. Barley, with his trademark dry wit and anthropological eye, pieces together Barnett?s unlikely journey from East End poverty to unlikely notoriety. Along the way, he skewers the pretensions of Empire, exposes the folly of self-appointed saviours, and somehow makes libraries, old diaries, and dusty footnotes come thrillingly to life. As usual with Barley, fact is stranger than fiction?and far funnier. Warning: Book may be slightly foxed, mildly warped, or smell like it?s been stored under someone?s stairs since 1997. Guaranteed authentic Crappy Old Books charm. NOTE: This book is in near new condition. Don?t beleive the fake description above that AI created. Nº de ref. del artículo: 3171
