Krátky popis
In ",At Home",, Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible
curiosity, irresistible wit, stylish prose and masterful
storytelling that made ",A Short History of Nearly Everything", one
of the most lauded books of the last decade, and delivers one of
the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the
history of the way we live. Bill Bryson was struck one day by the
thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and
wars of history than to considering what history really consists
of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business -
eating, sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable.
And that most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in
the very fabric of the houses in which we live. This inspired him
to start a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk,
wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in
life came to be. Along the way he did a prodigious amount of
research on the history of anything and everything, from
architecture to electricity, from food preservation to epidemics,
from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower, from crinolines to
toilets, and on the brilliant, creative and often eccentric minds
behind them. And he discovered that, although there may seem to be
nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives, there is a huge
amount of history, interest and excitement - and even a little
danger - lurking in the corners of every home.
