| | 4. |  | A Small Place in Italy (Travel Literature)
from Lonely Planet
Price: $8.73
Customer Review:
The urge to escape the comforts, routine and refinements of our living conditions to somewhere more challenging, primitive and raw is something that many of us feel - especially those who read books. The books we read can sometimes stimulate the urge, sometimes satisfy it. All I ask of such books is... more info

| | 5. |  | Love And War in the Apennines
from Lonely Planet
Price: $14.53
Customer Review:
Eric Newby knows how to tell a story. This is one of the few books that I started over again immediately after finishing it the first time. The insight into the minds of these extraordinary Italian farmers who hid prisoners of war without thought to their own lives and safety is one of the great... more info

| | 6. |  | Slowly Down the Ganges
from Lonely Planet
Price: $221.90
Customer Review:
Eric Newby's above assertion reflects both the strengths and the weaknesses of this book. In the winter of 1963-64 Newby and his wife undertook a quirky 1200 mile voyage down the "mother road" of India, the sacred Ganges, traveling from the foothills of the Himalayas, to the Bay of Bengal, and in... more info

| | 8. | [no image] | The big Red train ride
from Akadine Press
Price: $10.95
Customer Review:
Eric Newby has written a number of excellent travel books. In fact they are more essays on the human condition, with emphasis on its humorous side, than simply travel books. The idea of boarding the Trans-Siberian and riding the width (or is it length?) of the USSR must have seemed a fine prospect... more info

| | 9. |  | Something Wholesale: My Life in the Rag Trade
from Trafalgar Square Publishing
Price: $11.89
Customer Review:
This is Eric Newby's best book, even better than his travel books. On the surface, it is a book about working in his family's wholesale clothing firm, but it is really an ode to his father. The preface, in which he conveys the reader through a presumed chronology of his dad's life by describing... more info

In Departures And Arrivals, British writer Newby and world traveller Eric newby describes his latest travel adventures with a gift for irony and description: here his experiences in Calabria, with canal travels, and in Beijing capture the vivid peoples and personalities he encounters. An excellent... more info
