Pressestimmen
“Pure delight, a pungent potpourri of places and people interspersed with bittersweet essays on everything from the emotional difficulties of growing old to the reasons why giant sequoias arouse such awe.” —The New York Times Book Review“Profound, sympathetic, often angry . . . an honest moving book by one of our great writers.” —The San Francisco Examiner“This is superior Steinbeck—a muscular, evocative report of a journey of rediscovery.” —John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate“The eager, sensuous pages in which he writes about what he found and whom he encountered frame a picture of our human nature in the twentieth century which will not soon be surpassed.” —Edward Weeks, The Atlantic Monthly

Inspiring and a glimpse into the life of John Steinbeck and his very private thoughts. Totally would recommend for anyone interessted in Travelling and Writing.
Eine sehr persönliche Reisebeschreibung, die einem ein gutes "Bild" von Steinbeck himself gibt.
Excellent book. Everything was as described in the write up. The book arrived quickly. I would buy again from this seller.
John Steinbeck is a brilliant writer with a humorous style. He has the gift to make rather borring things interesting.
Had it not been for Fred, who spoke about this book in one of the shows on their channel, I would have know about this book or its author, who is Nobel prize winner!
This is the story of John Steinbeck (author of the book) and his travels across America for 3 months with his dog, Charley. He had decided he wanted to see America, so he bought a truck with a trailer on top that he could live in while on the road. He packed the essentials and headed off. He meets several people on the road - inviting them to dine with him or just sit and chat. He meets Americans from all walks of life while traveling the countryside. He deals with his dog getting sick, and constantly getting lost before he returns home to his wife with a renewed sense of America and its people.I really enjoyed this book. At first, I have to admit, I was afraid I wasn't going to like it. Steinbeck talked very little about the actual scenery around him and the beautiful places he visited. He focused mostly on the people and what it was like to travel across the country. I thought at first this was odd, but then the writing too over, and I was hooked. He spoke beautiful about the people he met. He made me laugh with stories about his dog and how it was to travel with an animal for all of those months. In truth, I don't think Steinbeck was glad he went on this trip. I think, like most of us when we travel, have a delusion of what to expect when we go. And sometimes, the truth is not what we imagined, and it makes us wish we would have just stayed home. I think he met a lot of people across the country that upset him, and he missed his wife, and his dog got sick, and he was in a cramped space, and after awhile - it just wasn't what he was hoping for.This book had quite a few great quotes (I am a sucker for quotes) that I wanted to write here so that I can look back and remember them."I was born lost, and take no pleasure in being found""I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction""A journey is like a marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you can control it""I suppose our capacity for self-delusion is boundless""The only good writer is a dead writer""Where the rich lead, the poor will follow. Or try to"
Travels with Charley provides a glimpse of 1960s America. Steinbeck with his poodle Charley started from his home in New York, drove to Maine, went westward to the Pacific Northwest and his birth state of California, and returned to New York via Texas and the Deep South. His goal was to rediscover America, which had undergone considerable changes since he first traversed across the continent twenty-five years earlier. Throughout the journey, Steinbeck provided his opinions on people he met and places he visited.Steinbeck noted several transformations about his country and countrymen. Foremost is the extensive urbanization and spread of suburbia. Although Steinbeck drove mostly on back streets to view the scenery and encounter more people, when he drove on highways there were considerably more commercial traffic than twenty-five years before. Steinbeck also noticed that the population had increased and that more Americans were moving from the inner cities to the surrounding countryside. In his birth town of Salinas, California what were once vast fields became populated with houses.Steinbeck also recorded an inner urge to travel. Even before he left New York, people told him of their desire to accompany him. Throughout his journey, he frequently encountered this reaction. He attributed this restlessness to the nation's vast expanse and the increasing availability of automobiles and mobile homes. If a person loses his job or if there is a better job elsewhere, he can move his family to a new location. Sectionalism isn't a strong force in twentieth century America. Steinbeck, like Turner, believed that the desire to move sets Americans apart from Europeans.The positive aspect of sectionalism had also diminished. The celebrated author incognito noticed that American speech had become more uniform. There were fewer places where people speak with accents, and even the Deep South had begun to lose its southern drawl. Steinbeck attributed this standardization of American speech to the effects of television and radio.Travels with Charley, in conclusion, is food for thought. At times humorous and serious, it is a record of the thoughts and lives of ordinary Americans. Although every American is distinct, nevertheless it did not deter Steinbeck from searching for the American character.
Zum Inhalt kann ich noch nix sagen, denn ich habs noch nicht gelesen. Aber es kam jedenfalls gut an, und es stehen auch Buchstaben drin...
