EX/VG 1996 1ST IMPRESSION/1ST ED FABER HARDBACK WITH VERY STRIKING ORIGINAL COVER PHOTO/UNCLIPPED DJ. MASTERLY ITALIAN TRAVEL WRITING AND ANECDOTES BY BUZZI. A LITTLE EDGE-RUBBING TO DJ, LIGHT NATURAL AGING OTHERWISE EXCELLENT. IMMEDIATE 1ST CLASS/AIRMAIL DISPATCH WORLDWIDE FROM UK FILM/TRAVEL LIT SPECIALIST Synopsis 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. |
