Bill Bryson's African Diary by Bill Bryson

Bill Bryson's African Diary

by Bill Bryson

“Here is a man who suffers so his readers can laugh.” — Daily Telegraph

Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International.

Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.

Bill Bryson escribió este libro y donó todos los beneficios a ONGs. Es un libro menor, pero cuanta cosas entretenidas y sobre todo se aprecian muchísimo las ganas que tiene de ayudar a cambiar el mundo. Una lectura agradable.
