Deze auteur verwierf faam met zijn scherpe politieke commentaren en indringende theaterrecensies. Zijn schrijfstijl, vaak provocerend, oogstte zowel lof als controverse en vormde de moderne parlementaire schets. Bekend om zijn briljante inzichten en frequente juridische strijd, liet hij een onuitwisbare indruk achter op de Britse journalistiek.
With passion and wit, Bernard Levin describes his travels on foot through the beautiful countryside of south-eastern France. He comments on the social and historical importance of the landscape as he follows in the footsteps of the great enemy of Rome, Hannibal, who made the expedition with an army and elephants nearly two millennia before.
As featured in the Channel 4 series, Levin describes his travels from the source of the Rhine in the Alps to the Hook of Holland and explores its history, art and cuisine. His other travel books are "Enthusiasms", "Conducted Tour", and "Hannibal's Footsteps".
