Cargando... The City of Florence: Historical Vistas and Personal Sightings (1995)por R. W. B. Lewis
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() This is a really nicely written history/memoir on Florence. I read this just before my (absolutely wonderful) visit there in 2000, and it made the city so much richer for me. Lewis does a terrific job of mixing the history, the architecture, and the art with the city geography and current feel of the city. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In this deeply personal and learned labor of love, R.W.B. Lewis, acclaimed chronicler of such great American cosmopolitans as Edith Wharton and Henry James, provides a new look at the glories of Florence, the smallish Tuscan city which has been a prime source for modern Western culture and which has also been his second home for the past fifty years. In chapters dense with historical detail and personal reflection, Lewis reconsiders the principal focal points of this much-beloved city - the Arno, the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce - and casts new light on Florence's cultural patrimony and civic legacy from the Middle Ages to the present. With a scholar's eye and a lover's passion, he invites us to share his vision of a city and the way of life it has engendered and inspired. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
