Notes From a big Country () (in English)
Bill Bryson
Synopsis "Notes From a big Country () (in English)"
From perfectly formed potatoes to adulterous US presidents, and from domestic upsets to millennial fever, Bill Bryson just cannot resist airing his opinions and standing up for his (mostly) law-abiding fellow American citizens. But of course after twenty years in England, he is now back on the other side of the pond, and is obviously having a little trouble finding his true American self again. After vigorous exercise on the Appalachian Trail comes this edited collection of Bryson’s most splenetic comic pieces culled from his humorous regular column in the Mail on Sunday.
Bill Bryson nació en Des Moines, Iowa, en 1951. Inició la carrera de Periodismo en Estados Unidos, pero la interrumpió para viajar por Europa. En 1977 se instaló en North Yorkshire, Inglaterra, donde residió dos décadas y trabajó como periodista. Aunque también se ha dedicado a la enseñanza (fue rector de la Universidad de Durham), actualmente se dedica sobre todo a escribir. Es autor, entre otros libros superventas, de Shakespeare, Una breve historia de casi todo, En casa: una breve historia de la vida privada, Aventuras y desventuras del Chico Centella, Un paseo por el bosque i 1927: Un verano que cambió el mundo y En las antípodas.
