Найти книгу: "The Third Tower Up from the Road"

The Third Tower Up from the Road is a humorous and entertaining collection of travel essays made up of old favorites as well as new commentaries from Kevin Dolgin’s popular McSweeney’s Internet Tendency column, Kevin Dolgin Tells You About Places You Should Go. The work celebrates the distinctive qualities of locales the world over, and each globetrotting essay focuses on a specific place, capturing the flavors and cultures through individual observations and exceptional experiences.Funny, irreverent, and insightful, these writings eschew the bland, touristy veneer experienced by most travelers as they seek to discover what is special and unique about each destination.Covering a wide range of places and interests, from unusual experiences and humorous traveler’s foibles to voyages that are intensely personal and moving, the selected columns include «The Best Falafel in the World: Beirut, Lebanon,» «The Door to Hell: Paris, France,» «Kafka’s Erotic Dream: Prague, Czech Republic,» «The Nesting Habits of Roman Cars: Rome, Italy,» «Of Romans and Pussycats: Provence, France,» and «The Third Tower Up from the Road: Huanghuacheng, China.»Also featured is «The Corsican Swallowtail: Corsica, France,» which was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

This book originated as a collection of feature articles, previously published as magazine articles. They were chosen for publication in book form not only because they were so popular with readers in their original magazine appearances but also because they are so relevant in the field of introductory electronics — a subject area in which it is evermore difficult to find information of a technical, knowledgeable, yet understandable nature. This book is exactly that. Since its original publication, I have added significant new material to make sure it is all still highly relevant and up-to-date.
