The " Blue Plaque Guide [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Since 1867 the erection of "Blue Plaques" has commemorated the lives and achievements of those remarkable individuals who, over the years, have made a unique contribution to life in London. This world famous and widely imitated practice reminds everyone - the historian, the tourist, and the ordinary person out in the street - where writers, artists, musicians, inventors and politicians have lived. Newly revised and completely updated, this is the most comprehensive guide available to houses of historic interest in London. The book is organized alphabetically, with indexes arranged by London Borough, by street and by vocation. Where the houses themselves are open to the public, entrance details have been included, together with other points of interest. Here you will find the homes of Lord Nelson and Friedrich Engels, Pepys, Gladstone and Freud; where Mozart composed his first symphony; where Baird first demonstrated television; and where Keats, Dickens, Wilde and Woolf wrote their greatest works.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
