Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"McPhee is known as the dean of 'literary journalists' . . . His writing creates its own wonderful topographical map of the ways of the world, contemplated with both microcosmic closeness and cosmic breadth."--Kate Shatzkin, "The Baltimore Sun"
"Somehow McPhee finds, again and again, the kind of people we're told don't exist anymore: unsung heroes . . . living lives of absolute mastery of their varied fields. A master himself, McPhee writes about them with grace. This is a close to poetry as journalism gets."--Andrea Gollin, "Miami Herald"
"McPhee's essays are proof that the kind of journalism that can effortlessly put a topic into perfect perspective will never go out of style."--Robert R. Harris, "The New York Times Book Review "
