Publisher's Synopsis
Heart of Europe is a historical and cultural exploration of the cities and architecture of central Europe, written by American architect and writer Ralph Adams Cram. Published in 1915, the book is a detailed and beautifully illustrated account of the grandeur and beauty of the cities of Prague, Budapest, Vienna, and other important cultural centers of the region. Cram's writing is both informative and poetic, as he delves into the history, art, and architecture of each city, highlighting the unique features that make them so special. The book is also a reflection on the cultural and spiritual significance of these cities, which Cram sees as the heart of Europe, where the traditions and values of the continent are preserved and celebrated. With over 200 illustrations, including photographs, sketches, and maps, Heart of Europe is a stunning visual and intellectual journey through the cultural treasures of central Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
