Andras Torok – Budapest. A Critical Guide (2007)(Stare excelenta)

Este in lb. englez.

O dau impreuna cu o harta panoramica si un ghid vizual

O carte foarte importanta despre Budapesta, esentiala si considerata a fi mai mult decat un ghid. Este in limba engleza. Descrieri gasiti in poze, dar si pe site-ul

Voi prelua cateva pasaje de pe site.

“Budapest: A Critical Guide is a sort of an institution since 1989. It is more than a guide: it’s a chonicle of the urban scene of my native city. It has constantly been upgraded, last published in 2016.”

“András Török, the author operates a higher-end tourism consultation business. It offers planning and tour services (usually max. 10 people) and lectures on Budapest. His most notable clients were former president Jimmy Carter and his wife, the late Paul Newman, prof. Francis Fukuyama, the Board of the Rockefeller Brothers’ Fund.”

“Budapest: a Critical Guide is an unusual, cult book — possibly the truest, most personal, and funniest insider’s city guide ever written about any major city, updated as often as necessary, by Budapest author/historian András Török.”

“With 41 “idiotproof” maps, (by András Felvidéki, illustrator), 5 walks, 36 independent restaurant tips, and a lot more.”

“‘The Best Travel Guide I have Encountered not just about Budapest but about any city. Passionate, opinionated, deeply in love with his subject, Torok introduces the reader both to the soul of one of the world’s most soulful cities and to its haunts, dives, corners, and backwaters. Read it a week before you go, brush up on the way there, immerse yourself in Torok’s Budapest, and yopu will experience the city in a way that none of the other available guides can begin to convey. This is , in fact, more than a guidebook, it is a work of travel literature, a genre that has perhaps been subordinated to eensy weensy full color photos and plastic covered pull-out maps. It is almost as much of a pleasure to savor the book’s flavor as it is to travel the paths it recommends.’ (By John Farago)”
