Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

"The British stately home is a magnet that attracts hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and from all over the world. The immense appeal of such houses is not simply their architectural splendor or magnificent art treasures. They also fulfill a need in people to recapture something of the past, affording as they do tangible glimpses of a way of life that has vanished. Who built these great houses? What kinds of people lived in them? How did they acquire their vast fortunes, amass their fabulous art collections? Who landscaped their gardens? What became of their descendants? With a creative and imaginative approach Sibylla Jane Flower answers these questions from a new point of view. In this magnificent volume, twenty of Great Britain's most beautiful homes are depicted, chosen as particularly fine examples of their style and period, each one introduced by personal conversation with the present-day owners. The entire domestic fabric of the great houses is examined, revealing what life was like for the inhabitants above and below stairs, in their setting of grandeur and luxury. Yet in their pursuit of that luxury the rich men of fashion and powerful artistocrats who lorded it over their households were often inspired by profound knowledge and consummate taste. They were patrons of the arts on a grand scale, and what they bequeathed to their own families have over the centuries become part of England's heritage. The Debrett name, which has been a household word in Britain for over two hundred years and is synonymous wit the British aristocracy, lends further authority to this volume. Derry Moore's ability to capture the flavor of the great houses in spectacular original photography specially commissioned for the book is supplemented by paintings and photographs of some of the residents, past and present. A comprehensive appendix gives details of over 150 houses in Great Britain that are open to the public." NO EXTRA POSTAGE ABOVE OUR STANDARD RATES!
