內容簡介
內容簡介 Unearthed: A History Nerd Abroad in Europe - Dig History. Travel Light. Embrace Chaos. From the author of Lightbulb Moments in Human History comes a hilarious and heartfelt travel memoir that blends historical insight, personal misadventure, and an entirely unreasonable amount of beer. Determined to stop just reading about the past and start living it, a history-obsessed writer and his long-time best mate, CJ, embark on a European adventure decades in the making. For a man who's spent a lifetime behind a desk, it's part bucket-list trip, part midlife reboot. Their journey takes them from ancient ruins to royal palaces, plague pits to pub crawls, and iconic landmarks to gloriously odd corners of the continent. Along the way, they dodge scams, challenge bus tour etiquette, and debate the suspicious proportions of Venus de Milo's feet-discovering that history isn't just something in books. It's out there. It's lurking. And it's ready to pounce. Unearthed is equal parts historical deep dive, buddy comedy, and existential detour. With wit, irreverence, and the occasional near-death experience, it captures what happens when you finally take the trip you've been putting off for years-and find more than you bargained for. Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Tim Moore, or anyone who believes the past is best explored with a pint in hand.
