Condición: Nuevo. Book DescriptionUn recorrido por Londres de la mano de los escritores más célebres que han visitado la gran ciudad del Támesis desde tiempos de los romanos hasta la actualidadFrom the Back CoverTácito fue el primer gran escritor en mencionar Londres y, desde entonces, muchos otros grandes creadores nos han dejado sus impresiones de la ciudad. En este libro Dostoyevski y Boswell nos acompañan por los bajos fondos londinenses, mientras que Dickens, De Amicis, London o Kipling nos hacen de guías y nos dan consejos para manejarnos en la capital de Inglaterra. Otros, como Beda el Venerable, John Evelyn o Samuel Pepys nos cuentan cómo la ciudad superó pestes, incendios e invasiones, mientras que Soseki, Rimbaud o Verlaine ilustran que no es fácil vivir en Londres si no se dispone de dinero.
