Riassunto:
L'unico modo per scoprire davvero una città, dicono, è a piedi. Portando questo all'estremo, Mark Mason si mette in viaggio per percorrere a piedi l'intera lunghezza della metropolitana di Londra, in superficie, passando per ogni stazione lungo il percorso. In una storia piena di curiosità storiche, riflessioni personali e conversazioni ascoltate di nascosto, Mark impara come ottenere i migliori pettegolezzi della City, dove trovare una pinta alle 7 del mattino e perché la Banca d'Inghilterra non ti lascia prendere la M11 in direzione nord allo svincolo 5. Prende una tazza di tè nell'East End con il biografo ufficiale dei Kray, scopre cosa intendono i tassisti con ''on the cotton'' e incontra la star degli Archers che era la voce di ''Mind the Gap''. Nel corso di diverse centinaia di miglia, Mark riflette sulle contraddizioni di Londra e sul suo fascino. Acquisisce intuizioni sul nostro fascino per le mappe e vede come camminare cambia la nostra visione del mondo. Ma soprattutto, in questa lettera d'amore a un amico complicato, celebra le immagini, i suoni e l'anima della città più grande del mondo.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. The only way to truly discover a city, they say, is on foot. Taking this to extremes, Mark Mason sets out to walk the entire length of the London Underground - overground - passing every station on the way. In a story packed with historical trivia, personal musings and eavesdropped conversations, Mark learns how to get the best gossip in the City, where to find a pint at 7am, and why the Bank of England won't let you join the M11 northbound at Junction 5. He has an East End cup of tea with the Krays' official biographer, discovers what cabbies mean by 'on the cotton', and meets the Archers star who was the voice of 'Mind the Gap'. Over the course of several hundred miles, Mark contemplates London's contradictions as well as its charms. He gains insights into our fascination with maps and sees how walking changes our view of the world. Above all, in this love letter to a complicated friend, he celebrates the sights, sounds and soul of the greatest city on earth. Codice articolo GOR008477106
