Come...Discover Serbia! Like eye-candy for the arm chair traveler, the book`s pages are intoxicating for those who have already explored Serbia`s beauty, or those intrigued with Balkan travel to discover Serbia`s many secrets. There has been media demonization and numerous books inspired by malice of Serbia, however, Faces & Places was inspired by the love of a nation and her people. With few words and over 500 fabulous photographs, the authors explored Serbia`s natural wonders, the family farm, museums, the royal palace, the performing arts in Belgrade, historic places and statues as well as important churches and monasteries whose frescoes from the 12th and 13th centuries are considered World Treasures. The book also contains close-up and personal presentations of 50 Serbians in various walks of life, revealing the honor and integrity of many Serbs and perhaps explains how Serbia has managed to overcome centuries of difficulties brought on by both friend and foe. Serbia`s spirit of optimism, her work ethic, a 1,000 years of Orthodox Christianity and her tenacity for freedom is a reminder that Belgrade`s citizens, in the 20th century alone, endured 5 separate, lethal, organized and sustained aerial bombing attacks at the hands of foreign aggressors and still remains a vital culture in the heart of Europe. Soft cover, Perfect bind.
