À propos de ce contenu audio

The fourth volume of autobiography from legendary foreign correspondent, John Simpson. Read by the author.

For over fifty years, John Simpson has travelled the world to report on the most significant events of our time. In Not Quite World's End, he offers a lively and upbeat look at the challenges and changes the world has gone through in his life and long career.

He looks at the world's troubles – war in the Middle East, global warming, population explosion – and takes the perhaps surprising view that it's actually not nor will be the end of the world. His vivid prose, his clear-sightedness and the wonderful anecdotes about the many strange people and places he has come across – from emperors to movie stars, from Chelsea to China – all add up to a richly satisfying read that will transport you around the globe.

With his vast experience and remarkable ability to explain what's really going on out there, he offers us all a crumb of comfort in desperate times.

'A very fine journalist' – Nelson Mandela

'Inspirational, anecdotal, humorous and chilling. Simpson's unbiased accounts are riveting' – Bob Geldof

    A very fine journalist (Nelson Mandela)
    Inspirational, anecdotal, humorous and chilling. Simpson's unbiased accounts are riveting (Bob Geldof)
    A collection of fascinating snap-shots, this is inspirational reading
    One of the most travelled correspondents of all time . . . this book documents his journeys around the world
    Simpson's late fatherhood adds a touching gloss to the experiences of the grand maverick . . . at his rumbustious, grumpy, humorous best
    John Simpson . . . urges us to take the long view that all things must pass. Refreshing, erudite and compelling
    A richly satisfying read
