This is Rome

All roads lead to Rome, and so did the path of painter and illustrator Miroslav Šašek. Guiding us through the Eternal City—a cradle of antiquity and the residence of kings, emperors, and popes—Šašek, with his signature humor and poetic touch, captures Rome both as it was over forty years ago and as it remains today: filled with the vibrant atmosphere of its streets and squares, Italians zipping around on mopeds, the constant buzz of traffic, and the omnipresent throngs of inquisitive tourists. Yet, he manages to distill the essence of Rome's landmarks and locales into straightforward and engaging walks. In Rome, a city of chaos and stunning beauty where history weaves through every alley, having Šašek as your guide ensures you'll never lose your way.
