A must have gem,

This review is from: This Is Greece (Hardcover)
I alsways liked Sasek and I love Greece so when I discovered that there was this book I ordered an ex library copy. It is nice as always and detailed, full of informations and of different characters, as the glasses seller and the button seller. Of course sasek describes Athens in a way that is far from the actual one and also the greeks are not the same anymore. The archeaological sites are still there and the pieces in the museum also, so it's nice to read and the illustrations are beautiful.
5.0 out of 5 stars
another quality entry into the sasek library!,

This review is from: This is Greece (Hardcover)
sasek's books are all visually lovely, no doubt about it, however they are also incredibly informative, which i quite appreciate. this book is littered with amazing images and interesting facts. i would, however, say this entry is perhaps a trifle dry. despite this, the book is still highly recommended. and as with all the updated printings of sasek's books, there is a welcome list of "this is the country...today!" at the end of the book with changes listed since the original printing. it is great to see both the way the country WAS as well as the present day differences. i highly recommend this book if you are interested in either greece, or simply in wonderful illustration. |
