Outposts(POD)

*注意：此書為POD (Print on Demond)少量印製。


In 1985 Simon Winchester, struck by a sudden need to discover exactly what was left of the British Empire, set out across the globe to visit the far-flung islands that are all that remain of what once made Britain great. He travelled 100,000 miles back and forth from Antarctica to the Caribbean, from the Mediterranean to the Far East, to capture a last glint of imperial glory.
Now with a new introduction, this revised edition tells us what happened to these extraordinary places while the author's been away.

Simon Winchester was born and educated in England, has lived in Africa, India and Asia, and now lives in New York.

Having reported from almost everywhere during an award-winning twenty-year career as a Guardian foreign correspondent, he is currently the Asia-Pacific editor for Condé Nast Traveler and contributes to a number of American magazines, as well as to the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator and the BBC.

Simon Winchester's books include Outposts: Travels to the Remains of the British Empire; Korea: A Walk through the Land of Miracles; The Pacific; Pacific Nightmare (a fictional account of the aftermath of the Hong Kong hand-over); Prison Diary, Argentina (the story of three months spent in a Patagonian jail on spying charges during the Falklands war); The River at the Centre of the World - A Journey Up the Yangtze; Back in Chinese Time; The Surgeon of Crowthorne; The Fracture Zone and The Map That Changed the World.
