| Sumario: | "John Julius Norwich's life has reflected an appetite for living, enlivened by a sense of personal theater. "Trying to please" is an engaging and amusing memoir that describes a glamorous but vanishing world. From the monasteries on Mt. Athos to a camel trek across the Sahara, the book shows how Norwich's passions for history, travel, and music have combined with simpler pleasures like friendship and a close family. A remarkable life and a thoroughly enjoyable read." --Amazon.com |
