Description
Historia cywilizacji i kultury nigdzie nie odbija sie tak wiernie jak w dziejach miast. Te ostatnie sa do tego stopnia fascynujace, ze zasluzyly nawet na wlasny gatunek: "biografie miast". W Polsce swoje "biografie" maja Wroclaw (Mikrokosmos Normana Daviesa i Rogera Moorhouse'a) i Gdansk (Gdansk. Biografia miasta Petera Olivera Loewa). Krakow w Europie Srodka prof. Jacka Purchli doczekal sie dwoch albumowych wydan. Nowa wersja wydobywa literacki, "biograficzny" aspekt ksiazki. Kulturowa historia Krakowa piora prof. Purchli obejmuje cale spektrum dziejow miasta - od czasow najdawniejszych po wspolczesnosc. To jak dotad jedyna pelna ich synteza Nowhere is history of civilization and culture reflected as faithfully as in the history of cities. Stories of cities are so fascinating that they have spawned their own genre: "biographies of cities". In Poland there are "biographies" of Wroclaw (Microcosm by Norman Davies and Roger Moorhouse) and Gdansk (Gdansk. Biography of the City by Peter Oliver Loew). Cracow in the European Core by prof. Jack Purchla has merited two editions in an album form. The new version brings out the literary, "biographical" aspect of the book. The cultural history of Krakow written by Prof Purchla covers the entire spectrum of the city's history - from the earliest times to the present. It is so far its only complete synthesis.
