The author was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. This book is about the history of the way we live.

O autor passeia para fora de casa

Jorge C.

Este livro não é uma história compreensiva da vida privada. A casa da autor, e as suas divisões, são um ponto de partida para as divagações do autor sobre o que lhe despertou a curiosidade, ou seja, noutra volta pela casa o autor podia ter escrito 10 livros diferentes. Bem escrito e interessante, com o estilo que o Bill Bryson nos habituou.
