The kingdom by the sea

American-born Paul Theroux had lived in England for 11 years when he realized he'd explored dozens of exotic locations without discovering anything about his adopted home. So, with a knapsack on his back, he set out to explore by walking and by short train trips. The result is a witty, observant and often acerbic look at an ever eccentric assortments of Brits in all shapes and sizes.

  • "An account of the author's unromantic observations after a three-month "walk", which included train and bus rides around the British coast. It gives an unflattering view of the tawdry seaside resorts, the dullness of the people's lives, and the ugliness of the cities."@en
  • "The account of the author's travels around the coast of Britain in 1982, in search of that which made the country unique."@en
