EUROPE ON FIVE WRONG TURNS A DAY (OLD TITLE: EUROPE ON FIVE BAD IDEAS A DAY: LOST ON THE BEATEN PATH WITH ARTHUR FROMMER’S 1963 GUIDE
Book ID/图书代码: 06840010B38108
English Summary/英文概要: EUROPE ON FIVE BAD IDEAS A DAY is the funny, irreverent tale of what happens when an inexperienced, semiinept traveler decides to tour the continent and its overrun sites with a hopelessly outdated guidebook, the classic 1963 edition of Arthur Frommer’s EUROPE ON FIVE DOLLARS A DAY. Endearing and outrageous, Doug Mack’s story is JULIE & JULIA for the travel set, with a hearty dose of Bill Bryson to enliven the mix.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《在欧洲一天拐错五个弯》是一本有趣的书,一个毫无经验又有点犯傻的旅行者决定跟着1963年出版的《一天5美元,玩乐欧洲》在这片大陆上畅游一番,这本由亚瑟.弗洛默写作的欧洲旅游攻略虽经典但早已过时。故事可爱可笑到离谱,麦克.道格的这个故事像是《茱莉和茱莉亚》的旅游版本,又有点比尔.布莱森的风格。(XAT)

About the Author/作者介绍: 道格.麦克不是马可波罗,不是大胆的冒险家,更不是传说中的旅行院长亚瑟.弗洛默,他写作的《一天5美元,玩乐欧洲》为欧洲带来了一百万的游客量。
道格就是个普通的家伙,确切地说,是的书呆子,但又是个敢梦敢想,渴望冒险的书呆子,也有可能他只是想在旅行中搭讪个姑娘。
当他在书店降价区看到弗洛默的传奇旅游攻略时,他大胆地制订了一个计划,他要去这个人人都去过的的地方,检验这些旅行经历是否还有用。随之而来的是令人头昏脑涨的7星期11个城市的旅行,他发现了这个全新的旧世界,发现了这些旅行经历对上一辈人还有用,这一辈,就不一定了......
Doug Mack is no Marco Polo, no bold adventurer, certainly no Arthur Frommer, the legendary “Dean of Travel,” whose EUROPE ON FIVE DOLLARS A DAY was the book that launched a million tourists.
Doug is a regular guy, a nerd really, but a nerd who dreams of striking out, of seizing adventure, and maybe talking to a girl in the process.
When he stumbles across Frommer’s legendary guide in a bargain bookstore bin, he hatches a plan to boldly go where everyone has gone before and examine the modern tourist experience in Europe. What ensues is a headlong, elevencitiesinsevenweeks journey into the BRAVE NEW OLD WORLD of today’s tourist experience and an examination of how this experience has changed – and has not – in the last generation.
