Product Description

Review

"When the world's foremost travel writer describes the small city-state of Hav, it is unlike any of her other books. For Hav exists only in one special place - Jan Morris's imagination. 'Wherever Morris goes she brings a sharp, impassioned yet subtle eye and an inexhaustible love of adventure... there are few better ways to see the world than in her company'. Ann Wroe, Daily Telegraph"


Christina Koning, The Times, June 9, 2007

'It is a testament to Morris's skill and charm that one stays
convinced for so long.' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful combination of fiction and travel narrative, 6 Nov 2009
By A. D. MacFarlane (England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hav (Paperback)
A travel book about a fictional city-state: what a fabulous conceit. Jan Morris handles it well, filling the book with details of the city -- its odd mishmash of cultural influences, its people, its architecture -- that made me wish I could visit. The pretense at many famous figures' involvement with Hav adds to the entertainment. And then the tragic changes, a city becoming more uniform and false, tourists remaining on one glitzy island away from the remains of the real city. I mourned for the destroyed Arab buildings and Chinese tower, though it pleased me to know that other people fear homogeneity. Overall, Hav is a fascinating book and well worth a read: a marvellous combination of fiction and travel narrative.
