Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Prague stands at the cross roads of history, a city once humiliated and then reborn as the capital of a strong and independent nation, representing the aristocratic appeal of Old Europe and the beating heart of region long and unjustly considered to be far removed from the West. Its castle, occupying much of the centre of the city, is an architectural jewel overlooking a maze of lanes, bridges and low medieval houses. Set against a backdrop of emerald-green countryside, this ancient Bohemian city continues on its romantic journey, caught between the past and the future. Places and History: celebrating the world's most beautiful cities and its most fascinating and exotic regions. Celebrating their historic and cultural importance, and their natural beauty. The history of each location is shown in original prints and paintings. The modern scene is explored in glorious colour photographs and with a travel writer's experienced eye.
