Über diesen Titel

 Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door, memorable travel literature threatens to break out. This time in Australia.

His previous excursion along the Appalachian Trail resulted in the sublime national bestseller A Walk in the Woods. In A Sunburned Country is his report on what he found in an entirely different place: Australia, the country that doubles as a continent, and a place with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet. The result is a deliciously funny, fact-filled, and adventurous performance by a writer who combines humor, wonder, and unflagging curiousity.

Despite the fact that Australia harbors more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else, including sharks, crocodiles, snakes, even riptides and deserts, Bill Bryson adores the place, and he takes his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond that beaten tourist path. Wherever he goes he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging, and these beaming products of land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine fill the pages of this wonderful book.

Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide.©2000 Bill Bryson; (P)2000 Random House, Inc., Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House Inc. Australien & Ozeanien Nordamerika Reiseliteratur & Erläuterungen

Kritikerstimmen

"In the late afternoon, I stopped at a roadhouse for gas and coffee. I studied my book of maps . . . Then, having nothing better to do, I leafed through the index and amused myself, in a very low-key way, by looking for ridiculous names, of which Australia has a respectable plenitude. I am thus able to report that the following are all real places: Wee Waa, Poowons, Borrumbuttock, Suggan Buggan, Boomahnoomoonah, Waaia, Mullumbimby Ewylamartup, Jiggalong, and the supremely satisfying Tittybong."

An entirely enjoyable journey through Australia, it's landscape and history. Full of bryson typical dry humour and interesting facts, and inspires to travel this magnificent country, as I am currently doing. I must say that he himself is maybe not the best to lend voice to his own books, as he's a bit monotone, but it doesn't take from the books charm. Listened to it by myself, with foreigners and with Australians and it rang true on many fronts and was fun. Definitely recommend it

Enjoyable and deeply recommended

Bill Bryson ist für mich einer der besten 'Reise'-Berichterstatter. Seine Bücher sind stets mit viel Wissen, Humor und Selbstironie gespickt. Hier macht das Zuhören Spass. Man erfährt Dinge über Australien, von denen ich nie dachte, dass mir dies interessant nahe gebracht werden kann und von denen ich manchmal nicht sicher war, ob ich das wirklich wissen wollte(z.B. bezüglich der vielen tödlich giftigen Tiere dort!)Auf jeden Fall macht dieses Hörbuch wieder Lust auf noch mehr Bücher und auf Reisen in ferne oder auch nahe Länder! Klasse!

kurzweiliges Hörvergnügen

This book is outstanding, contains lot of information and is extremely funny. Billy Bryson has traveled all across Australia and has gathered unique insights. He is always combining his travel experiences and encounters with tons of information about the history, the political situation and prominent characters. His train trip description makes me planning my own vacation trip in the near future.

I have been to Australia several times but Bill Bryson's book gave me unique insights and was a hilarious beach audio book during my summer vacations.

Best book for a trip to Australia

I liked the stories about historical and less known events and facts, but also the traveler journey and his impressions of the local experience
Sometimes there are not that interesting parts where you can easily drift off

A lot of facts and stories about Auatralia
