Ranging from New York to Venice, Oxford to the Middle East, and Wales to South Africa, Jan Morris was a witness to such seminal moments as the Eichmann trial, the first ascent of Everest, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the handover of Hong Kong.

Offering a tremendously perceptive and highly personal view of the world, she is as much concerned with conveying the ‘feel’ of these moments as the events themselves. And, as ever, she displays her unique and inimitable literary style, at once funny, wise and sad.
