In 1959  the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the worlds most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities  a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the authors Bond canon. Here are Flemings highly personal observations of fourteen cities across Europe  Asia  and North Americafrom Vienna to Hong Kong to Chicago. At each stop  Fleming casts the guidebook aside  taking readers on an insiders tour of everything from a Tokyo geisha house led by the worlds most beautiful women to a packed Las Vegas casino where fortunes ride on a roll of the dice  and beyond. Just like his most famous fictional creation  Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement  adventureand danger. In Thrilling Cities  he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond. Originally published in 1963  this edition restores the original observations  maps  and language used at that time. The text in this edition has been restored by the Fleming family company Ian Fleming Publications  to reflect the work as it was originally published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116218933301,"sku":"ByrdShop_1612185541","price":93.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781612185545.jpg?v=1776029920","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/thrilling-cities-9781612185545","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
