Writer´s World

In a wonderfully evocative collection of her travel writing and reportage from over five decades, Jan Morris -a constant traveller- has produced a unique portrait of the late twentieth century. Ranging from New York to Venice, and Middle East to South Africa, Jan Morris was a witness to such seminal moments as the Eichmann trial, the first ascent of Everest, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the handover of Hong Kong.
