Dublin - The Story of a City (Conlin Stephen)(Pevná vazba)

Dublin has taken many forms over the last millennium: first a Scandinavian settlement, linked by kinship to Norway; then a medieval town that formed part of a Norman sphere of influence across Western Europe. By the eighteenth century, it was a 'polite' city of the British Empire, before gaining independence and developing into a bustling, modern European capital.

Merging archaeology with art, Stephen Conlin's beautifully crafted views recreate Dublin's most famous areas and buildings at key times in their development, such as Wood Quay in 1254, Parliament House circa 1760, O'Connell Street in 1945, and the Grand Canal Basin today. This wonderful imagery is complemented and enhanced by the vivid text of Peter Harbison, which moves through time to provide an entertaining history of Dublin, its people and its landmarks.
