ISBN: 9781780761206 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Weary of what he called the "tyranny" of western art, Brian Sewell first visited Turkey--a country that had captivated him since he was a boy--in 1975.

But Turkey surprised him, and he delighted in the unexpected wealth of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic cultures there, returning three of four times a year until 1990. The bulk of this book focuses on his...
