Christian Poulin: If you're a fan of Bourdain, his shows and narratign style, then you will love this book. The various tidbits on information on food in the cities he visits truly add to the experience once you're there, or they will at the very least want to go there.

Ryan D'souza: Love Anthony Bourdain and this is one of my favorite books of his

United States on Jul 21, 2023

Dwayne H.: As Anthony Bourdain once famously said, "Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life—and travel—leaves marks on you."

Bourdain's "World Travel: An Irreverent Guide" is a fascinating and inspiring read that takes readers on a culinary and cultural journey around the world. It's a testament to Bourdain's love of adventure, his passion for food, and his insatiable curiosity about the world.

The book is divided into sections that focus on different regions of the world, each containing stories, tips, and recommendations for travelers. From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the bustling markets of Mexico City, Bourdain offers readers a unique perspective on the world's most exciting destinations.

What sets "World Travel" apart is Bourdain's writing style. His prose is direct, honest, and unapologetic, which only adds to the book's charm. He pulls no punches in his opinions, and his sense of humor is always close at hand.

One of the most compelling aspects of the book is Bourdain's passion for food. He's always on the lookout for the best local...

Creeko: Anthony Bourdain ist einer meiner Helden. Er hat die Welt bereist und alles was lecker ist probiert und geliebt. Dieses postmortale Buch ist leider eine kleine Enttäuschung. Es ist eine Zitatensammlung aus seine verschiedenen TV Ausstrahlungen. Und wenige Kommentare dazu. Dann lieber die serie kaufen und von ihm gesprochen hören!

Raoul Vernet: This book is a scam. It has hardly anything written by Bourdain. Instead it has some quotes cribbed from the numerous TV series. It has a lot of filler such as airport information for each city and description of public transport. Do we really care? This is a shameless attempt to profit from a peripheral relationship with Bourdain and the tragedy of his death. A disgrace

P. J. Owen: When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, he joined the ever-expanding list of artists and personalities (Prince, Bowie, Petty) whose recent deaths have hit me particularly hard, thrusting me into a mode of deep reflection about life, death, and everything in between. The difference between Bourdain and those others though is that the others were all associated with my youth. With them, there was the element of nostalgia, of aligning their mortality with my own because they’d been with me the majority of my life. Bourdain was different though. I had been a fan of his for at least a decade by the time he died, but his presence in my life was relatively short-lived. More importantly, what he represented to me was different, not a reminder of my youthful idealism, but one of what I desire and idealize in the present, as a middle-aged man, and what I want to be now and in the future. He didn’t just present a show about world travel, which is one the things I love most in my life, but he also lived the tough idealism of it, the way real in-depth travel can make you and the world better and teach us to be more tolerant of each other. And then throw in the food. Throw in the...

Amazon Customer: I told my family this was their Mother’s Day gift to me, and I am loving every single page. I have to admit I bought this book simply because of the Bourdain name without knowing anything about it.. but I am getting so much more out of it than I thought! The book is divided by countries that Tony visited, and includes what he thought of each location, places he went and how many times he had been there, things he did, etc. Then there are behind the scenes stories from the people around him that reveal things about Tony and his lifestyle, and perhaps my favorite stories are from the restaurant owners who got “Tony’d” etc. It’s probably not meant to be read cover to cover but I am doing so, and this book is satisfying my need to get out of the country without being able to get out of the country. I wouldn’t consider myself a “book reader”.. I just love travel and would recommend this to anyone who has a travel bucket list.
