«Continental Drifter» is Tim Moore's travelogue, published by Time Warner Books Uk in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Tim Moore pays homage to Thomas Coryate, considered the first travel writer, and recreates the Grand Tour he undertook in the early 17th century. To follow in his footsteps through 45 cities, Moore gets behind the wheel of a pink Rolls Royce, while reviving the journey's most colourful anecdotes, including being attacked with eggs or chased by a man in a turban. The result is a book of humour and adventure that combines historical chronicle with the account of his own escapades.
Thomas Coryate, author of «Crudities», is remembered for introducing the fork to England. Travelogue with a humorous tone.
Aimed at readers who enjoy comic travel memoirs and the history of Europe.
