Florence
Florence: The Biography of a City | Christopher Hibbert
1 post | 1 read
This book is as captivating as the city itself. Hibbert's gift is weaving political, social and art history into an elegantly readable and marvellously lively whole. The author's book on Florence will also be at once a history and a guide book and will be enhanced by splendid photographs and illustrations and line drawings which will describe all teh buildings and treasures of the city.

Pickpick

I‘m giving this a pick because it fit my mood. Chronological. The writing is really only ok, and I encourage readers to explore other options. But ok can work when the story is this fantastic, and the presentation is clear. It took me over 18 hours to slog through, but I was motivated and forced it in before our trip (and then forgot to review it).
