Philippa Lewis Livres

"An astonishing collection of photographs recording how London, the capital city of Great Britain and the epicentre of the Empire, looked one hundred years ago. Queen Victoria's London is revealed with all its contrasts of ancient and modern, rich and poor. This book documents the appearance of many well-known landmarks at that date, as well as illustrating many splendid buildings and streetscapes that have now gone, swept away in the name of progress or destroyed by war."--Jacket.

Book by Weightman, Gavin

The beauty of the mountains and shores in this land of gentle mists, the excitement of a hurling match and a day at the races, the peace of an evening of storytelling around a peat fire, the bar and the betting shop, priests and colleens, travellers and barefooted children. This superb collection of over 100 photographs presents these well-loved images of Ireland in times gone by.

Kolik bylo Múz? Jak se jmenovalo původních dvanáct Títánů? Proč je Zeus (Jupiter) spojen s elektřinou a Poseidón (Neptun) se slánkami? Kdo byly Afrodítiny (Venušiny) služebnice? V této krásné knize plné užitečných detailů a vzácných starých ilustrací výtvarnice Philippa Lewisová připomíná mytická božstva antického světa, jejich pestré charaktery, nezapomenutelné činy i vizuální symboly a dokazuje, že jejich příběhy jsou nesmrtelné.
