The Most Beautiful Villages of Ireland(1st Edition)
by Christopher Fitz-Simon, Hugh Palmer
Hardcover, 208 Pages, Published 2000 by Thames & Hudson
ISBN-13: 978-0-500-01998-6, ISBN: 0-500-01998-3

"Many a travel picture book is designed to make us dream, and like its equivalent in the cookery field, we can often gaze lovingly at things that we will have no experience of. Christopher Fitz-Simon's The Most Beautiful Villages of Ireland, however, produces an immediate effect that was probably the author's prime intention: within mere pages of this sumptuously illustrated book, the reader is filled with the keenest desire to visit the ..."






Die schönsten Dörfer Irlands.

Hardcover, 208 Pages, Published 2001 by Gerstenberg
ISBN-13: 978-3-8067-2873-6, ISBN: 3-8067-2873-9

"Einen Bildband mit malerischen Dörfern zu füllen, stellt in Irland ein echtes Problem dar. Denn: Es sind derer zu viele. Auf der (tatsächlich) Grünen Insel erweckt gerade mal Dublin beim Reisenden den Eindruck städtischer Betriebsamkeit und Dimensionen, wenngleich doch immer nach irischen Maßstäben. Autor Christopher Fitz-Simon wählte seine schönsten Dörfer daher auch nach einem zweiten Kriterium aus: Vielfalt der Farben, der Formen. Z ..."

Hardcover, 208 Pages, Published 2002 by Thames & Hudson
ISBN-13: 978-0-500-51072-8, ISBN: 0-500-51072-5

"Normandy is a varied region of open country and woodland, stretching from the limestone plateau of the Pays de Caux in the northeast to Mont. St-Michel and the Cotentin peninsula in the west, where the villages anticipate the sturdy architecture of Brittany, and to the hills of the Perche Normand in the South a famous horse-breeding region. It is also a coastal land of towering cliffs and sandy beaches, imbued with a poignant sense of m ..."

Hardcover, 208 Pages, Published 2001 by Thames & Hudson
ISBN-13: 978-0-500-51051-3, ISBN: 0-500-51051-2

"Usually associated with splendid Renaissance cha teaux and historical monuments, the Loire valley is in fact a place of even greater interest than the image of popular perception. The Loire River itself is the longest in France and passes through a succession of landscapes, many of them of a richness that proves this is truly "the garden of France." And there is variety too, reflected in the buildings and settings of the beautiful villa ..."

Hardcover, 224 Pages, Published 1999 by Thames & Hudson
ISBN-13: 978-0-500-01834-7, ISBN: 0-500-01834-0

"From the terra cotta and ocher of the Ionian Islands to the brilliant blue and white of the Aegean, the beautiful villages of Greece and its islands are incomparable. The variety of village life and building springs from a multitude of histories and influences, yet these towns are all, in their separate ways, quintessentially Greek. Here, then, are the loveliest villages created by the indomitable Greek spirit, all set in a landscape of ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-500-01935-1, ISBN: 0-500-01935-5

"Geography and geology have combined to make Brittany a land distinct from the rest of France. A place of dramatic contrasts, it occupies the great northwestern peninsula of the French landmass where a jagged coastline, fertile plains, and wild moorland lie beneath a sky by rapid turns sullen and sunny. A strong sense of separateness, reflected in the continuing strength of local village traditions, has remained a characteristic of the B ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-500-01905-4, ISBN: 0-500-01905-3

"Clustered around its parish church and green, or strung out along a curving road, the English village often seems the very embodiment of tranquillity. Winding lanes, thatched cottages, and red-brick Georgian houses bespeak a way of life that has developed peacefully over centuries, uninterrupted by war or invasion. Yet, the occasional castle or fortified manor house bears testimony to a more turbulent past, and it should not be forgotte ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-500-01862-0, ISBN: 0-500-01862-6

"Synonymous with fine wine, elegant cuisine, and good living, Burgundy is also a land of great architecture and appealing villages. Many of these ancient communities stand beside the leisurely rivers that wend their way through the duchy--the beginnings of the Seine, the delightful Yonne, the Arroux, which flows to the Loire, and the Ouche, which eventually adds its waters to the Saone. And beside these rivers flow another eight hundred ..."

"The tremendous upsurge of interest in garden history and design in recent years has prompted a renewed fascination with the art and artifacts of garden ornament. Those decorative objects--buildings, statues, urns, balustrades, trellises, fountains, ironwork, seats--lend character and definition to garden layout and play an important part in contemporary horticultural design. One of the most significant additions to the literature of hor ..."

"Stand at the outskirts of a Tuscan village and gaze across one of the most extraordinarily rich and varied landscapes in Europe. There are vineyards producing the finest wine, and miles of wild mountain scenery; almost any view will take in other villages, clustering around the upper reaches of some hill or the russet roofs of a fortified town deep in a valley. Tuscany has its grand cities―Florence and Siena―but their distinctive el ..."
