Bill Bryson hat 20 vergangene Veranstaltungen. (show)  First Friday Book Club Friday, February 6, 2015, 7:30 p.m. The Short History of Nearly Everything By Bill BrysonIn this book Bryson confronts his greatest challenge: to understand—and, if possible, answer—the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us.

As he takes us through the history of our modern comforts, Bryson demonstrates that whatever happens in the world eventually ends up in our home, in the paint, the pipes, the pillows, and every item of furniture. Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and his sheer prose fluency makes At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.

| | Kurzbiographie | Bryson, Sohn einer Journalistenfamilie in Des Moines, studierte an der Drake University, unterbrach sein Studium und kam 1973 erstmals als Rucksacktourist nach England. Er arbeitete zwei Jahre lang in einer psychiatrischen Klinik in Virginia Water in Surrey. Dort lernte er Cynthia Billen, eine Krankenschwester in Ausbildung, kennen. Nach der Heirat 1974 zog er mit seiner Frau zurück in die USA, um seinen Hochschulabschluss an der Drake University (1975 bis 1977) nachzuholen. Zurück in England, schrieb er zwei Jahre lang für das „Bournemouth Evening Echo“. Anschließend siedelte er nach London um und arbeitete hier für die „Financial Weekly“ sowie später für The Times und The Independent. 1995 zog er mit seiner Frau und den vier Kindern von North Yorkshire nach Hanover, New Hampshire. 2003 kehrte er mit seiner Familie wieder nach England zurück.
Bill Bryson wurde 2005 Nachfolger von Peter Ustinov als Kanzler der Universität Durham im Nordosten Englands und lebt derzeit in Wymondham, Norfolk.
Seit 1985 verfasst Bryson Bücher. Der internationale Durchbruch als Schriftsteller gelang ihm 1989 mit dem Englandbuch „Reif für die Insel“ (engl: „Notes from A Small Island“). Darauf folgten mit weiteren Titeln zahlreiche Platzierungen in den englischen, amerikanischen und zuletzt auch deutschen Bestsellerlisten, die ihm den Ruf einbrachten, einer der populärsten Sachbuchautoren der Gegenwart zu sein. Seine Leserschaft erfreut vor allem der äußerst humorvolle Tonfall seiner Bücher. Er beschreibt mit Witz geschichtliche Ereignisse, selbst erlebte Anekdoten und kleine Abenteuer, die das Sachbuch schnell in einen fesselnden Roman verwandeln.  | |
