Reseña del editor:
The author begins this book by roaming literary Russia, but then strays into a maze of that country's sensual sounds, smells, fetishes and foods. Along the way, his prose takes in vodka, crows, Chekhov, bed-bugs, Tartars and tartar sauce, cures, beards, prisons, beer, toilets, Tolstoy's cook and his horse called Delirium. In the second part of the book, Buzzi wanders around a villa in Sicily, wondering about such things as matchboxes, tuna fish with red carnations in their mouths on market stalls, flies' stomachs, and plumbers' handshakes. But he soon becomes lost in a series of remembered journeys to an England of marmalade, to the Yucatan of the Mayan king Nemesio Xiu (whose name means "herb, prince of herb"), to Milan, Mexico, Rome, Belgrade, and back to Sicily.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. Good condition hardback Good condition DJ not price clipped. 147 pages good and clean with clear print. No foxing, no previous names. Journey to the Land of the Flies and other travels. Good clean pages and clear print. 'What does a dash of pig's head and Brussels sprouts have in common with Tolstoy's habit of writing standing up? Nothing, except their rewarding coexistence in the spacious sensibility of Aldo Buzzi. His distinctive writing distils a vast knowledge of the culture, character, landscape and cuisine of many nations, particularly Russia and his own Italy, into a book as carthy as it is erudite.
