À propos de cet audio
James Naughtie, the acclaimed author and BBC broadcaster, now brings his unique and inquisitive eye to the country that has fascinated him and drawn him across the Atlantic for half a century. In looking at America, from Presidents Nixon through to Biden, he tells the story of a country that is grappling with a dream. What has it come to mean in the new century, and who do Americans now think they are?
Drawing on his travels and encounters over forty years in the ‘Land of the Free’, On The Road is filled with anecdotes, memories, tears and laughter reflecting Naughtie’s characteristic warmth and enthusiasm in encountering the America of Washington, of Broadway, of the small town and the plains. As a student, Naughtie watched the fall of President Richard Nixon in 1974, and subsequently as a journalist followed the story of the country – its politicians, artists, wheeler-dealers and the people who make it what it is, in the New York melting pot or the western deserts. This is a story filled with encounters, for example with the people he has watched on every presidential campaign from the late 1970s to the victory of Joe Biden in 2020.
This edition is fully updated to include Naughtie's fascinating insights on the controversial presidential election battle in 2020 between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.©2020 Jim Naughtie. All rights reserved (P)2020 Simon & Schuster, UK. All Rights Reserved.
Ce que les critiques en disent
'Everything you would expect of a James Naughtie book - droll, absorbing and wonderfully perceptive.' (Bill Bryson)
'Naughtie has been there, done that and got the bumper sticker. Now 50 years of adventuring is distilled into a revealing and at times spellbinding tapestry of a nation in all its glories and complexities…This is the rarest of reads, a book that makes you ache to hop on a plane and sample this extraordinary country for yourself. It is thought-provoking, constantly surprising and hugely entertaining. Sublime stuff.’ (Michael Simkins)
'It's a fascinating pleasure to encounter an outsider who sees America clearly with fresh eyes.' (P.J.O'Rourke)
'This book is first a memoir of his experiences which have included covering every Presidential election from Reagan to Trump... There are lively descriptions and acute observations of politicians in action... Delightful and always informative... This is an illuminating and thoroughly enjoyable book.' (Allan Massie)
'An insightful account of living through momentous times...much to enjoy in Naughtie's astute memoir.' (Martin Chilton)
