LONDON JOURNAL: A GUIDED TOUR AND DIARY OF DISCOVERY
Book ID/图书代码: 00530016B93201
English Summary/英文概要: A guide book can never be any more than that – a guide – because to really get under the skin of somewhere as vast and as historic as London one needs to get out there and find things for yourself.
David Long’s London Journal contains recommendations - places people go to and go back to whether they are Londoners by birth or by adoption or just visiting.
Some are well known, others less so, and more than a few are the sorts of places which have earned a reputation as a ‘best kept secret’ if only among people who can’t wait to tell everyone else what they now know.
As well as detailed descriptions the book makes space for readers to record their own notes and thoughts or to list places they were inspired to discover for themselves after reading the book.
London, after all, appears differently to different people and in a real sense we make of it what we want. There are stops along the way everyone has to make – the really famous landmarks, the most celebrated bars and restaurants – but people who really love London will tell you the best places are the ones you find yourself, and this is book to start you on that journey.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 一本指南书永远不会比指南来的更多--因为真的要想获得像伦敦这样历史悠久的城市表面下的东西,你需要走出去,自己去寻找。
大卫朗格的<<伦敦日记>>包含了一些推介--人们往来的地方,不论是土生土长的伦敦当地人,还是新伦敦人,亦或是游客。
有些地方是众所周知的,另一些则不被人知道的那么多,而且只有少数几个是那些赢得了“最佳保守秘密”的地方,但愿有人迫不及待地告诉别人他们现在知道的地方。
这本书不仅有详细的描述,而且还为读者留了空间,让他们记录自己的笔记和想法,或者在阅读书籍后列出自己想要去发现的地方。
毕竟,伦敦,不同的人有不同的看法,真正意义上是我们所想要的伦敦。沿途有很多每个人都要停下来的--真正著名的地标,最著名的酒吧和餐馆--但真正热爱伦敦的人会告诉你最好的地方就是你自己找到的地方,这是一本开启你旅程的书。(YYW)
