Book Description
Em casa, novo livro de Bill Bryson, é simultaneamente uma narrativa histórica, um tratado de sociologia, um compêndio
de história da ciência e uma divertida coleção de curiosidades culturais. Viajando pelo interior de sua própria casa — uma
antiga residência paroquial no nordeste da Inglaterra —, o escritor norte-americano reconstitui a evolução de cada um
dos cômodos que compõe a habitação humana moderna. Do hall de entrada ao porão, da sala de jantar ao banheiro, dos
quartos de dormir ao jardim, nenhum detalhe escapa à atenção do autor de Breve história de quase tudo, que vendeu mais de 50 mil exemplares no Brasil. Amparado por uma bibliografia reveladora, o livro percorre largos intervalos no tempo e no espaço para demonstrar que a configuração arquitetônica da moradia determina todos os aspectos da vida
privada. Dotado de extrema sensibilidade para relacionar os menores componentes de.
Bill Bryson
William McGuire Bryson ( born 8 December 1951) is an American–British author of nonfiction books on topics including travel, the English language, and science. Born in the United States, he has been a resident of Britain for most of his adult life, returning to the U.S. between 1995 and 2003, and holds dual American and British citizenship. He served as the chancellor of Durham University from 2005 to 2011.
Bryson came to prominence in the United Kingdom with the publication and accompanying television series of Notes from a Small Island (1995), an exploration of Britain.

In October 2020 he announced that he had "retired" from writing books.
