All important historic sites set in bold face for easy reference. Three~page glossary of art terms. Extensive list of recommended reading. Of the 4,179 books on travel published in America in the last decade, only A Guide to Christian Europe is totally unlike its fellows. It is a selective guide to the most important cities, cathedrals, shrines and art of Western Europe, not an endless list of shops and restaurants. It recounts and re~creates the pleasures of one traveler, but it is no sprawling collection of personal memories. It is detailed enough to satisfy the cultured or merely curious, yet it discourages Baedeker~bouncing from monument to monument. The author, a noted historian, educator, and editor, escorts his reader wittily and informatively among the treasures of the past. He tells him what must be seen~in Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Portugal ~and suggests what might be seen, if there is time. The traveler with limited time and unlimited enthusiasm is often faced with enormous and undigested chunks of history, sights seen but not comprehended. Father McNaspy's brilliant account is the perfect antidote for such cultural gluttony. Most importantly, the author surveys Europe in depth~Europe as the cultural and spiritual force that forms our Christian heritage. The tourist views Europe's great cathedrals and museums in deeper perspective as he visits them with this connoisseur of history and art. For Father McNaspy and his readers, Chartres, the Queen of French Cathedrals, is a monument for all ages, not just a building of dry~as~dust dimensions. They see Chartres with its towers soaring prayerfully above the wheatfields of Beauce, its stained glass glowing with unearthly light, as it should be seen within the context of the age and spirit that created it. A Guide to Christian Europe is a book to plan with and remember with. The traveler will carry it with him on his trip and back to his armchair at home. …

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
