Slovakia - the beautiful

As someone frequently traveling in Slovakia, I can only recommend this wonderful collection of pictures about this small, East Central European, young country; as I recognize something from my time spent there in every picture.The "reader" - text is only 2 pages and a line to each picture - is taken on a pictorial journey through Slovakia: the breathtaking landscape of the Highland, the architecture of it's cities and small towns, the folklore of the villages, the spiritual life through the churches and the glory of the past through the numerous castles and forts.This book is "magic": If you have not been to Slovakia before, it will certainly convince you going! If You have, it will make you want going back again and again...
