Rezension zu „Georgia “
'Indispensable to all serious travellers to the Caucasus' - Lesley Chamberlain, "Times Literary Supplement". 'Nasmyth is an ideal chronicler. It would be difficult to read his quirky, entertaining, informative, sometimes surreal book without having an impulse to ring a travel agent and ask for flights to Tbilisi' - D.M. Thomas, "Literary Review". 'Peter Nasmyth has written the elegiac, quirky, readable, deeply knowledgeable "Georgia: In the Mountains of Poetry", the best cultural-historical introduction to that tempestuous land' -- Simon Sebag Montefiore, "The Daily Telegraph". '!the revised edition of his [Peter Nasmyth's] "Georgia: In the Mountains of Poetry" reasserts his position as author of the best book on post-Soviet Georgia' - Michael Church, "The Independent". 'The result is a lively, perceptive, topical book!' -- Fitzroy Maclean, "Times Literary Supplement".
