This unique edition is a detailed guide to the older Lviv, with an emphasis on its clerical architecture. Readers are often amazed that Vasily Vereshchagin, the author of this book, was a Russian writer and painter, and had little knowledge of the territory, traditions and culture of the city. Yet he managed to describe in detail all the temples and churches with various parishes. Lviv has concentrated many religions; it is praised for all those uniquely beautiful sacred structures so skilfully described in this book. These texts also contain bits of the history of Lviv, and there are also many illustrations that add brightness and freshness to the entire thing.
This souvenir copy will appeal to both a man and a woman for any celebratory occasion. This book is a source of valuable and, most importantly, necessary information, in that it remains interesting and informative for all without exception.
