I found myself constantly rereading paragraphs in order to savour the insights and observations that are so poetically crafted. The book is so full of memorable moments that I intend to visit it again – next time more slowly. One quote that I find myself repeating and pondering is “History is a human affair but geography is destiny” and I think this sums up the essence of the book.
As an aside, may I add that, although I appreciate there’s something very satisfying about reading a book on paper, having to carry these hefty tomes about on holidays, or even on the train, is a great case for the practicality of e-books.
Thanks for a great blog – books do indeed make for a bigger brighter world. – Shelley
