Synopsis:

With its literary history and Georgian architecture, its modern art galleries and classic pubs, Dublin has become both an international tourist destination and a place for stylish, sophisticated lifestyles. This book explores a city that both embodies urban life in a previous century and represents European style in the new millennium. Dublin's social tradition is represented in the hotels and parks, shops and racecourses - all alive with the resurgent excitement of the city. The book also explores the city's relationship with the literary life, from Jonathan Swift to Roddy Doyle - not to mention Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Joyce, O'Casey and Beckett. It is completed by listings of places to stay and eat and a guide to the sights of the city.

About the Author: Robert O'Byrne is a full-time writer on the staff of the Irish Times. Alex Ramsay's photographs have most recently been seen in The Most Beautiful Country Towns of Tuscany and The Most Beautiful Country Towns of Provence, both published by Thames & Hudson.
