. Domestic Manners of the Americans
City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette
by: Frances Milton Trollope
1994-06
This is both a great read and an important historical document. Fanny Trollope was the mother of Anthony Trollope, perhaps the most prolific English novelist of the nineteenth century and my favorite. Fanny's husband was ineffectual in the breadwinning department, but fortunately for the family, Fanny herself was energetic and enterprising. She took one of her sons (not Anthony) and an artistic young man to the United States. She was planning to join a friend of hers who was a mover in setting up the utopian community in Harmony, Indiana, but the place turned out to be squalid, and she didn't stay long. Fanny spent most of her time in the U.S. in Cincinnati and in her book is very hard on the city and its inhabitants. She especially objected ... Read More:

. Down Under
City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette
by: Bill Bryson
1994-06
Picked up this book after having heard it was funny, informative, and easy to read. Within the first few pages i became disillusioned! It's hard not to be really, when Mr Bryson refers to spiders as insects, and in his initial segment to point out "some facts", states that Australia is a single island continent. I'd be curious as to which continent New Zealand belongs to then? Maybe Australasia ceased to be in the day he lost crossing the date line? Having spent over a quater of a year in Oz some of his comments managed to make me chuckle, especially regarding Red Back Spiders, but on the whole i was disappointed. At the price, i'm not inspired to buy another of his titles.

. Dreams of India
City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette
by: Thomas M. Lopez
1992-04
This full-cast audio production is subtle and quiet, yet full of fantasy and adventure. The story begins as a young woman shows Jack Flanders his own business card. The card was given to her mother 40 years ago, yet has Jack's current address. Jack follows her to India, with a few cultural stops along the way such as New Deli and The Black Hole of Calcutta. He confronts a genie in a palace who speaks to him in his own voice. "Dreams of India" is a mystical journey that explores themes such as growing old, letting go, and the continual quest of Jack to be the one who watches. It is filled with lush sounds recorded in the streets of India, as well as history and poetry. Very enjoyable.

. Driving over Lemons
City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette
by: Chris Stewart
2001-03
I read this book about 1 year after i visited the same town that is depicted in this book. I stayed in a small house outside of town with a lemon orchard and olive trees that had been bought and was in the process of being fixed up by an English couple. So, i was excited when i saw this book. I expected to read wonderful descriptions of the surrounding mountains and the town... unfortunately, the couple in the story have such uninteresting observations about their surroundings, it made the entire book quite bland. I wish i hadn't read it, so that my own vibrant memories of that place could have remained untainted.
