«From the Four Corners» is Jan Morris's book of travel writing, published by Penguin Books Ltd in paperback (96 pages, in English).
In this book, Jan Morris offers four very different urban portraits: Delhi, Manhattan, Sydney and Vienna. Each city is described with its own atmosphere, tone and technique, combining observation, history and the sensations of walking. It is a brief and varied sample of her travel writing.
Published in 1995 in the Penguin 60s series; the texts come from her collection Among the Cities.
A brief read intended for those interested in travel literature and in Jan Morris's view of great cities.
Catharine Jan Morris was a Welsh historian, author and travel writer. She was known particularly for the Pax Britannica trilogy (1968–1978), a history of the British Empire, and for portraits of cities, including Oxford, Venice, Trieste, Hong Kong and New York City. She published under her birth name until 1972, when she had gender reassignment surgery, transitioning from male to female.
