Технические характеристики
From the snow-clad Carpathian Mountains to the Danube Delta and the Black Sea, form the capital, Bucharset - the Town of Gardens - to Vlad the Impaler`s castle at Bran; from lazy river valleys carpeted in flowers to remote monastries bedecked in frescoes, the author`s family foursome see the best Romania has to offer. In this they`re capably assisted by their courier, Petru, who introduces them to local customs, folk dancing and `celebrations`. The author`s grasp of detail and obvious admiration for the tenacious spirit of a people invaded and oppressed during many centuries, plus a clear appreciative eye for landscape, architecture and flora, make `Around Romania` a joy to read.
