Jean Cocteau retraces the most celebrated round-the-world voyage of all time: that of Jules Verne`s Phileas Fogg in 1873. Taking up an impulsive challenge from the editor of ” Paris-Soir, ” Cocteau sets off with his very own ` Passepartout` as companion on a picaresque voyage some sixty-three years after his fictional predecessor. He finds that the journey has lost none of its hazards & adventures as he races around the globe in tramp-ship, railway & ocean liner. Observing & recording the frenetic change of scenes from Athens & Alexandria to Bombay, Rangoon, & Yokohama & finally across the United States, Cocteau`s witty, subjective & sometimes outrageous narrative gives this unique travel-memoir a camp & stylish spin. ...

Round the World in Eighty Dishes – The World Through the Kitchen Window by Lesley Blanch is a delicate blend of travel anecdotes & recipes inspired by the writer’s frequent trips to destinations around the globe during the first half of the twentieth century. Lesley Blanch, best known for The Wilder Shores of Love & as editor of Vogue, first wrote this book in 1956. The contrast between the post-war restrictions on travelling & eating experienced in England with the writer’s fortune is apparent. Yet, Blanch’s unassuming style & appreciation of her good fate makes this a delightful reading, or better, a skilfully painted view through the kitchen window of distant places. The 80 recipes will lead you on a tour to sample authentic local dishes accompanied by personal witty, amusing & evocative tales of the countries where they were savoured, & cherished. You will find familiar as well as unusual recipes & ingredients: from Cheese Muff from Bavaria & Kaalilaatikko, a sort of pork & herring casserole from Finland to Fouja Djedad, apples stuffed with chicken from Saudi Arabia & Four Pyramids Salad from Mexico. Illustrated throughout with drawings by the author this is a truly precious book, preserving the flavours of dishes & places but also of an era long gone. ...
