Thrilling Cities Part 1 / Ian Fleming

Thrilling Cities is Ian Fleming’s view of thirteen cities he visited in two trips in 1959 and 1960. The cities covered are: Hong Kong, Macau, Tokyo, Honolulu, Los Angeles and Las Vegas (the two cities are examined in one chapter), Chicago, New York, Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Geneva, Naples and Monte Carlo.

Fleming’s account is highly personal and deals with his visit and his experiences and impressions. Each chapter closes with what Fleming called “Incidental Intelligence”, dealing with the hotels, restaurants, food and nightlife.
