Synopsis
Lord Pratt tells the story of the country houses that crown the rolling hills of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, immersing us in the vanished world of these countries' aristocracies. A comprehensive analysis of where politics, culture, and art merge, The Great Country Houses of the Czech Republic and Slovakia is a captivating read for anyone curious about the history and architecture of these two countries. Gerhard Trumler's striking photographs allow readers entrance, for example, to the Liechtensteins' twin chateaux of Valtice and Lednice in the Czech Republic. The lords of these castles established one of the greatest art collections in the world and played a major role in the diplomatic and military lives of the nation; they still remain as the ruling house of the Principality of Liechtenstein. Pratt's new chapter speaks of the difficulties of restoration and problems concerning modern-day ownership. Though many estates were lost or damaged during the World Wars, the houses as they stand today--some restored, some languishing in disrepair--present a rich cultural heritage of two fascinating countries. Lord Michael Pratt is a scholar based in London who specializes in modern European history. His works include Britain's Greek Empire, a study of Corfu and the Ionian Islands under Venetian and British rule. Gerhard Trumler is a professor of photography in Vienna and a professional photographer whose work has appeared in more than fifty books. 155 illustrations, 139 in full color, Crowning the rolling hills of the Czech Republic and Slovakia are magnificent country houses in stone. Based on Lord Michael Pratt's seminal volume The Great Country Houses of Central Europe, The Great Country Houses of the Czech Republic and Slovakia takes an exclusive look at these regions' rarely seen treasures. Lord Pratt chronicles the dramatic histories of these regions' noble families as they constructed and remodeled castles, fortresses, and baroque manors to suit their tastes and herald their wealth and power., A comprehensive analysis of where politics, culture, and art merge, The Great Country Houses of the Czech Republic and Slovakia is a captivating read for anyone curious about the history and architecture of these two countries.

- n***b (80)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI ordered a large shirt, but it was obviously not a large. Any seller should recognize that. Although dimensions were listed, when a shirt is labeled “large,” I expect it to fit accordingly. The moment I opened the package, it was immediately apparent the shirt was actually a small. A careful and transparent seller would have noted that the shirt was mislabeled as a large when it was, in fact, a small. To the seller’s credit, they did accept a return and issued a full refund.
