Additional This Is Rome Information
|
Like the other Sasek classics, this is a facsimile edition of the original book. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later. Facts have been updated for the 21st-century, appearing on a "This is . . . Today" page at the back of the book. These charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, make for a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember the series from their own childhoods. This is Rome, first published in 1960, traces the history of Roman civilization to bring to life the Rome of the 60's. Sasek navigates Rome's busy, winding streets to visit such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Fontana di Trevi-and to show us the eccentricities of modern Roman life, from its colorful trains, trams, and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.

What Customers Say About This Is Rome:

Sasek wrote a series of these books for the world's great cities, and they are all charming. I find that with a younger child, you may just want to look at the pictures and add some of your own narration as the text is wordy and intended for an older (school aged). child, but it is nonetheless charming. It would be a great series of books to collect for a child, and certainly adults can also appreciate these vintage books with the travel commentary and history and anecdotes about Rome.
Although written as children's books, they are also great for coffee tables. I LOOOOOVE this series of books. Written long ago but with updated information, these books are a great addition to your collection. Buy them all. Then travel to the places.
The books in this collection are a wonderful asset to any who enjoy history and sharing histroy with children.
Rome is an absolutely beautiful city and this a great book in the Sasek series. It's great for kids and adults who have visited countries or are going to visit them or just to have in your library. Highly recommended. See the real thing if you can.
