In Search Of London
Autor H. V. Mortonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 dec 2002
H.
V.
Morton
turns
his
traveler's
intuition
and
his
reporter's
eye
for
detail
to
the
city
that
has
fascinated
him
since
childhood—London
past,
present,
and
timeless.
He
explores
the
City
and
the
Temple,
Covent
Garden,
SoHo,
and
all
the
"submerged
villages
beneath
the
flood
of
bricks
and
mortar,"
uncovering
layer
upon
layer
of
London's
history.
Morton
follows
the
thread
of
imagination
back
and
forth
across
the
city,
tracing
unforgettable
scenes:
the
Emperor
Claudius
leading
his
war
elephants
across
the
Thames.
.
.the
grisly
executions
at
the
Tower.
.
.the
world
of
Shakespeare,
Dickens,
and
Queen
Victoria.
.
.and
the
shattered
yet
defiant
city
of
the
Blitz
as
well
as
the
postwar
London
of
"ruins
and
hatless
crowds."
Morton's
quest
for
London's
heart
reveals
how
its
daily
life
is
rooted
in
a
past
that
is
closer
and
more
familiar
than
we
might
think,
making
the
book
as
informative,
entertaining,
and
rich
in
human
color
today
as
when
it
was
written
fifty
years
ago.
