London - Die BiographieEine groartige Geschichte der Weltstadt London London ist so gro und wild, dass es alles in sich enthlt, schreibt Peter Ackroyd und erkundet diese Stadt wie ein menschliches Wesen, das uns betrt, verwirrt, aber niemals gleichgltig lsst. Am sinnlichen Detail, am allgegenwrtigen Rot der Sandsteine, an den Gerchen der vielen Mrkte oder am Klangbild, das einst von Glockengelut und Balladenverkufern geprgt wurde, entschlsselt er die Epochen, die London

Eine großartige Geschichte der Weltstadt London »London ist so groß und wild, dass es alles in sich enthält«, schreibt Peter Ackroyd und erkundet diese Stadt wie ein menschliches Wesen, das uns betört, verwirrt, aber niemals gleichgültig lässt. Am sinnlichen Detail, am allgegenwärtigen Rot der Sandsteine, an den Gerüchen der vielen Märkte oder am Klangbild, das einst von Glockengeläut und »Balladenverkäufern« geprägt wurde, entschlüsselt er die Epochen, die London geprägt haben. Die Kritiker sind sich einig: Ackroyds Buch macht alle anderen Londonbücher überflüssig. Nie zuvor hat ein Schriftsteller so lebendig und beseelt die ganze Metropole porträtiert: vom Londoner Untergrund bis zu den Theatern des Westends, von der Großen Pest bis zu Jack the Ripper, von den prähistorischen Funden bis zu den Reklametafeln am Piccadilly. Ein Genuss für alle, die diese Stadt lieben. »Ein reiches Buch, voller Witz und Wissen, voller Elan und voller Leben, brillant geschrieben!« Die Zeit Ausstattung: durchgehend s/w-Abb. im Text

Really great shirt, really thick material
An unexpected pleasant surprise. Really nice quality, minimal shrinkage, and very few wrinkles out of the dryer. Nice, comfortable fit, and for big-but-not-tall guys, the fitment is very presentable. Sleeves aren't crazy long, and the shirt itself isn't so long that you feel like you're wearing a dress. These aren't complaints, but I do want to share two notes that were important to me: 1. If you want a breast pocket, be sure to select the right shirt. There are two different versions, and it's not particularly obvious which is which. 2. The material is thick. Really thick. So the shirt is pretty heavy, and it doesn't breathe very well. For me, this is unquestionably a winter shirt. If, like me, you tend to run a bit warm, this shirt can make you feel like you're wearing a parka.

Great Value from Amazon Essentials
I can’t believe the quality of this shirt given the low price I paid for it. It fits perfectly, looks impressive, and is very comfortable. The shirt has survived two washes so far and looks as good as new. I couldn’t be more satisfied with this purchase.

Too large, length too long
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Runs large, and the length is far too long to wear untucked like in the photos. Always wear a Medium, this fits like a Large. Length of shirt is long and obviously made to be tucked in. You would look ridiculous if you left it untucked. Dont understand why companies still insist on designing shirt to be tucked in when most people dont wear it like that these days

Traditional Grown Man Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Great cotton, classically-style button down shirt for guys not wanting anything slim fit, this shirt size is legitimate. It’s a nice heavyweight cotton shirt. I don’t think I’d say it was wrinkle resistant but it doesn’t take much effort to press this garment.
