Vladimír Soukup Libros

Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia can be without a doubt called a spa empire. This publication is the third one in the 'Wonders' series. It will take us on a tour round the Czech Republic to learn about the some former and, most importantly, present spas. The history of spas in this country has a long tradition - the first documented mention about healing waters springs dates as early as the 12th century. Let's set out on a trip. First to the west of Bohemia to visit the famous spa triangle of Spa Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Spa Mariánské Lázně and Spa Františkovy Lázně. By the time we reach the last pages, we will have travelled all over the country and learnt about Spa Kynžvart, Jáchymov, Janské Lázně, Vráž, Karlova Studánka, Velké Losiny, Bochoř, Luhačovice and many others. A stay in a spa does not mean treatments only - often it is connected to various cultural and social activities and to venturing out into the surrounding areas. In this book you will find tips of how to best plan your trips together with the information on interesting historical, cultural and architectural sights, and other places of interest and outstanding natural beauty.

Jiří Berger, významný plzeňský fotograf, se v posledních letech zaměřil na leteckou fotografii. Mezi červnem a prosincem 2005 pořídil z dvojmotorového dvojplošníku Morava L 200 více než 2000 záběrů Prahy, z nichž bylo do publikace vybráno 170, aby charakterizovaly město a jeho okolí. Tato publikace navazuje na knihu leteckých fotografií Eugena Vasiliaka z roku 1966 a nabízí svědectví o současné podobě Prahy. Zahrnuje nejen historické jádro s významnými památkami, ale i okolní zástavbu 19. století, moderní urbanistické celky a dopravní stavby harmonicky zakomponované do krajiny. Obsahuje také poetické pohledy na zasněženou Prahu. Exkluzivní záběry doplňují zasvěcené texty Vladimíra Soukupa, přeložené do angličtiny a němčiny, což činí publikaci ideální vzpomínkou na návštěvu města nebo originálním dárkem pro zahraniční partnery. Pražané zde mohou spatřit své domy, ulice a místa, kde žijí a tráví čas. Publikace, která byla představena na veletrhu Svět knihy 2006, je cenným přírůstkem do knihovny a nabízí pohled na krásu stověžatého města z ptačí perspektivy.
