London: The Biography
Source: Amazon
Author: Peter Ackroyd
City: London, Country: United Kingdom
- From an Amazon reader: "To a Londoner in Tokyo this book's celebration of the persistence of London seemed all the more affecting (Tokyo being essentially a temporary and soulesss city). Readable, full of knowledge, facts and quirks, it's a book that can make you realise why you can love London -- even when it is being most unlikeable. Here is dirt, earth, fire, humanity (and plague, pestilence, smoke, stone)." (2001)
