Kathmandu
ISBN: 9781910376775 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the greatest cities of the Himalaya, Kathmandu, Nepal, is a unique blend of thousand-year-old cultural practices and accelerated urban development. In this book, Thomas Bell recounts his experiences from his many years in the city--exploring in the process the rich history of Kathmandu and its many instances of self-reinvention.
