书籍简介

这部由一位受人尊敬的艺术家创作的杰作，风格独特、内容全面，研究无可挑剔，揭示了世界著名的城市之一从史前到现代的辉煌史诗。

想象一下，一座传奇城市——从遥远的过去到今天——在精美的插图中栩栩如生地展现在世人面前。劳拉·卡林的这幅令人叹为观止的作品生动地展现了伦敦数千年的历史，从城市出现之前——恐龙在地球上漫游的时代——一直到2022年一位受人爱戴的君主去世为止。丰富的全景图追溯了冰河时代、石器时代和青铜时代；罗马人、盎格鲁撒克逊人、维京人和诺曼人的浪潮；以及猎巫运动和内战及全球战争。从十七世纪的瘟疫和伦敦大火，到二十世纪的世界大战，从皇室贵族的生活到女佣和工厂工人的日常生活，这本充满爱意的书籍，以古今中外的视角，向伦敦致敬。它精心挑选了历史记载、诗歌以及塞缪尔·佩皮斯、维多利亚女王、查尔斯·狄更斯和弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫等名人的私人日记，让这座城市通过其名人居民发出声音。这本书是一本精美的礼品书，适合所有年龄段的艺术爱好者、历史爱好者和环球旅行者，也适合所有已经——或尚未——被这座迷人的城市之一所吸引的人。

Idiosyncratic, comprehensive, and impeccably researched, this master work by a revered artist unveils one of the world's most famous cities from pre-history to the present, in all its epic glory.

Imagine a kaleidoscopic view of a storied city--from the remote past to today--brought to life in magnificent illustrations. Laura Carlin's breathtaking artwork animates thousands of years of London history, beginning long before there were cities--when dinosaurs roamed the Earth--and ending with the 2022 death of a beloved monarch. Teeming panoramic spreads track the Ice, Stone, and Bronze Ages; waves of Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, and Normans; and witch hunts and wars both civil and global. From the Plague and the Great Fire of the 1600s to the world wars of the twentieth century, from the lives of the royals to those of housemaids and factory workers, this loving tribute to London through the ages thoughtfully curates passages from historical accounts, poems, and the private diaries of luminaries like Samuel Pepys, Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, and Virginia Woolf, allowing the city to speak through its famous denizens. An exquisite gift book for art lovers, history buffs, and world travelers of all ages, this rich compendium is for anyone who has fallen--or has yet to fall--under the spell of one of the world's most bewitching cities.
