Mine gleders by: historien om London gjennom to tusen år
«London lar seg ikke oppleve under ett. Det er rett og slett for mye av alt» skriver Richard Herrmann i dette overflødighetshornet av bok, som i mer enn en generasjon har vært selve klassikeren i norsk reiselivslitteratur. NRKs legendariske Londonkorrespondent tar leseren med gjennom to tusen års historie, kultur og dagligliv, i en dypt personlig og kunnskapsmettet beretning.
Boken, som nå utgis i en utvidet og oppdatert versjon, er et must for enhver Londonfarer, enten man skal dit kort eller lenge, kjenner byen som sin egen bukselomme eller er på kort førstebesøk – eller om man reiser fra lenestolen, og lar «Stemmen fra London» bringe London til leseren.
Med etterord og tillegg ved Øivind Bratberg

42 books11 followersRichard Herrmann, MBE was a Norwegian journalist, writer and radio personality.
Hermann graduated in 1939, and subsequently studied philology at University of Oslo. In 1941 he was offered a job with Norsk Telegrambyrå, an offer he reluctantly accepted, as it required all new employees to join Nasjonal Samling. He left the company after a few weeks. In 1952, he was employed by the Reuters newsagency in London, where he stayed until 1964. From 1961 he was the editor for Reuters UK operation. From 1964 to 1977 he was employed by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation as their correspondent in London. He later worked in Norway and was charged with developing the new radio channel NRK P2 in the early 1980s. In 1984 he retired from radio and TV, but he continued to write until he was almost 75 years old. He has written numerous books on Britain, British history and the British people, published in several languages.
After retiring, Hermann spent the remainder of his life in Oslo, where he died after a long, unspecified illness on June 15, 2010, at age 90.

An amazing book about Londons history. I fully recomend this book to everybody. Richard Herman is an artist with the art of writing, I must say.

2000 år av Londons (og Englands) historie i vittig, trivelig kåserende stil. Pepret med gode berømte anekdoter og replikker. Radiomannen Herrmann tar ofte legender og legendariske replikker for god fisk, så det er langt unna faghistorisk. Lydboka anbefales framfor bokform, siden boka bærer preg av å være laget i radioformat.
