Croatia Through Writer's Eyes

From the Through Writer's Eyes series.

Croatia, with its unspoiled dramatic coast, is a place of bewitching beauty, one of the hidden jewels of the Mediterranean, and sometimes referred to as the "New Tuscany". Yet most travellers know little more than that it was once part of Yugoslavia. Its ruined Greek cities, Habsuburg gardens, border fortresses, the palace of Diocletian, Roman ampitheatres, Byzantine basilicas and walled medieval towns only mock our lack of knowledge with their unexpected diversity. This collection allows the the traveller to glory in this past, adding a patina of understanding to the tangible architectural glories and whispered tales of three thousand years of civilisation.

The collection is edited by Stephen Lavington and Francis Gooding with an historical introduction by Peter Frankopan

Compiled by leading North African travel writer Barnaby Rogerson, this collection includes work from George Orwell. Winston Churchill, Gavin Maxwell, and Peter Mayne. It has enough wit, spice, glamor, humor, and cruelty to inspire the most bewildered tourist.
