5.0 out of 5 stars
It will soon all be history!,
By Mitch Strbac (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art of Kosovo: The Sacred Land (Hardcover)
What a great book in regards to showing what historic significance Kosovo & Metohija has to the Serbian nation. The illustrations are simply breathtaking and tempts one to go there and view the beauty in person (if it were not for the violence). The book will soon be a book on history as it seems that every day another church or monastery is blown away by the Albanian population while the West sanctifies their actions. Great book and its a shame that we can't go to Kosovo and Metohija and view it in person!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable and poignant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Kosovo: The Sacred Land (Hardcover)
This beautiful and comprehensive coffee-table size book is a valuable and poignant record of Kosovo's rich Serbian Orthodox Christian religious heritage dating back almost a thousand years which is literally being blown to smithereens on a daily basis by the Albanian victors of Clinton's splendid little air war in Kosovo! These Byzantine style churches and monasteries, vivid frescoes and liturgical art survived the 5 century Ottoman occupation, 2 World Wars, and Tito's communism. Unfortunately, the photos in this book may soon be all that is left. That only makes this well produced volume even more valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Impressive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Kosovo: The Sacred Land (Hardcover)
I was pleasantly surprised when I received my copy; I hadn't seen a copy before, nor had I seen any review, so I wasn't prepared for the well-done color photographs of the frescos. In particular, the frescos of gracanica, which i had never seen before, are incredible. These frescos are a truly hidden jewel in europe.If anybody has wondered how El Greco could have done what he did, they should look at the frescos of gracanica.
