| Synopsis: |
"Come Away with Me" is a selection of memoirs from the author John Oliver, drawn from his extensive overseas travels to a variety of unusual and interesting destinations over a period of more than seven decades. The book contains detailed descriptions of various locations as well as recounting significant and sometimes subjective experiences that occurred during Oliver's travels. In this respect, "Come Away with Me" provides an interesting insight not only into the countries visited but also into the attitudes and cultural differences of the people encountered.Several features combine to make this work truly exceptional: the 72-year time-span of the author's travels, the unusual range of experiences stretching from Mexico City where he was mugged (and mugged the muggers in return) to giving evidence before a Committee of the US Congress, his familiarity with European languages, and, the unexpected addition of a perspective from his Ulster homeland and his lengthy residence in Germany in the 1930s where he encountered preparations for war."Come Away with Me" is a well-constructed, fascinating work that will prove compelling reading for anyone interested in travel, cultural diversity and 20th century history. |
