À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Looking for the Moon Under Water

Updated with a new postscript

In 1946, George Orwell, a man fond of a pint wrote about his favourite pub, The Moon Under Water, in his Evening Standard column. But it didn't actually exist. it was Orwell's vision of a perfect pub. Today, Wetherspoon have fourteen Moon Under Waters, and the nation is awash with identikit, high street lounge bars competing for a dwindling clientele.

Paul moody and Robin Turner's road trip around Britain, therefore, is not just a search for the perfect pub. It is a deeper investigation into what has happened to British pub culture, once the toast of the world. Along the way, they consult a host of micro-brewers, landlords, ploiticians, blogggers and barroom philosophers. What emerges is a picture of the country as seen through a pint glass, a vision that goes to the heart of what it means to be British.
