"'The most literary and fluently written of the available guidebooks' - Observer"

Reseña del editor:

This work gives a detailed and fascinating insight into the region's culture, including its glittering contribution of Monet, Corneille and Gide: offers fresh commentary on the region's most famous landmarks: Mont-St-Michel, the Bayeux Tapestry and the historic high-rise port at Honfleur; is moved by the beaches of the D-Day landings; and recommends the best places to try Normandy's fine cuisine: its famous cheeses, lsigny butter, excellent seafood and France's most densely flavoured brandy, the famous Calvados. 'Normandy has its art heroes, with Monet leading the charge, and more than its fair share of literary heroes. Corneille, heroic playwright par excellence, came from Rouen. Andre Gide mounted a brilliant challenge to proverbial Catholic morality and hypocrisy in a series of novels for which he won the Nobel Prize. Maupassant wrote the sharpest, bitterest short stories in the French language, many as redolent of Normandy as the finest Calvados.'. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
