Michael Palin's bestselling diaries before, during and after Monty Python.
Michael Palin's bestselling diaries of the 1980s, including the filming of THE MEANING OF LIFE and A FISH CALLED WANDA.
The third volume of Michael Palin's widely acclaimed diaries. After the Python years and a decade of filming, writing and acting, his career took an unexpected direction into travel, which was to shape his working life for the next 25 years. Yet, as the diaries reveal, he also remained ferociously busy on a host of other projects throughout this whirlwind period.
This third volume of Michael Palin's acclaimed diaries chronicles his career shift into travel after years in film and writing. Beginning in September 1988, it captures his journey along the Adriatic as part of a modern-day adventure inspired by AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. Despite not being the BBC's first choice for the series, its success led to heightened public demand. Throughout this dynamic period, Palin remained busy with various projects, including acting roles following the success of A FISH CALLED WANDA. His next film, AMERICAN FRIENDS, draws from his great-grandfather's diaries, and he takes on a challenging role in the drama series GBH. Additionally, he ventures into theater with THE WEEKEND, writes his first novel, HEMINGWAY'S CHAIR, and stars in FIERCE CREATURES, the sequel to WANDA. Describing himself as drawn to risk, Palin embraces opportunities, leading to two more travel series, POLE TO POLE and FULL CIRCLE, along with accompanying bestselling books. These diaries reveal a man seizing every chance while candidly addressing the doubts and challenges he faces. Anchored by his family life, this volume showcases a decade of exploration, curiosity, and adventure, offering treasures on every page for his expanding readership.
