World Travel
ByPublisher Description
A guide to some of the world’s most fascinating places, as seen and experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious traveler Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania’s utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter—and many places beyond.
In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places—in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable.
Supplementing Bourdain’s words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Christopher; a guide to Chicago’s best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley
Allsbrook.
For veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and those in between, World Travel offers a chance to experience the world like Anthony Bourdain.

“Una recopilación de viajes, lugares, restaurantes y hoteles vinculados a los programas de Anthony Bourdain. Y aunque soy muy fan suyo y me encanta su forma de contar el mundo, tengo que reconocer que esperaba otra cosa.
El problema es que el libro se parece mucho más a una guía de viajes que a un libro de Bourdain. Cada país aparece dividido por ciudades, con recomendaciones e información práctica de todo tipo. Entre medias aparecen frases suyas, pequeños textos de personas que trabajaron con él y referencias a sus programas, pero echo en falta lo que más me gusta de Bourdain... sus historias, opiniones y esa capacidad para convertir una comida o una conversación en algo gamberro e interesante.
Además, se me ha hecho un poco largo. La estructura es bastante repetitiva y, aunque algunas partes me han resultado interesantes, otras me han dejado bastante indiferente. Quizá también influye que muchos de los destinos que aparecen no son los que más me llaman la atención (por ejemplo, USA... ¡eternoooo!).
Me ha gustado mucho verme reflejada en países que he acudido y la esperanza e ilusión que me genera al hablar de países que tengo pendientes de visitar. No obstante, si lo que buscas es a Anthony... su voz y sus historias, creo que es mejor ver sus programas (¿o quizás leer alguno de sus otros libros?).”About Anthony Bourdain
