Croatia through writers’ eyes

With an historical introduction and epilogue by Peter Frankopan.

Klappentext:

Croatia, with its unspoiled dramatic coast, is a place of bewitching beauty, one of the hidden jewels of the Mediterranean. Yet most travellers know little more than that it was once part of Yugoslavia. Its ruined Greek cities, Habsburg gardens, border fortresses, Roman palaces and amphitheatres, Byzantine basilicas and walled medieval towns only mock our lack of knowledge with their unexpected diversity. Within these covers the traveller can immerse himself in the glory of Croatia's past, from Diocletian to independence, seen through the eyes of outsiders and Croats alike.
