hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Prima edizione / First edition - Volume in copertina rigida con sovraccoperta, 265 pagine con fotografie in bianco e nero lungo l'intero testo. Indice consultabile nelle nostre immagini. Talloncino del prezzo rimosso alla bandella anteriore, peraltro ottima copia dalla paginazione candida e compatta; non comune -- Marvels, dark secrets, suspected facts. So many things and places most Europeans known nothing about. This is a different kind of book; a treasury of information for all who retain a sense of wonder and who love life, adventure and exploration. In its pages of unceasing interest we reach stations of enigma and romance, of the quaint and fantastic. Here the reader discovers topics for conversation, much food for thought, and fascinating links between the Present and the Past. We roam remoter regions, browse in byways, and pioneer paths towards new horizons. And if travel off beaten, overcrowded tracks is the coming trend in a Continent in which everything has been seen, said and catalogued, those first to know the stranger Europe will leave the future behind.
