Product Description:
Palatial structures set in the tranquil green
countryside or austere strongholds atop unassailable crags, the castles of the
world — so often marked by extravagant architecture, enormous parks, richly
furnished rooms, turbulent histories and an aura of legend and mystery — are
still landmarks of geography and the collective imagination. Castles tell the
history of lands that throughout the centuries have been ravaged by war; they
range from centuries-old defensive towers made from bare stone to resplendent
residences built by 18th- and 19th-century monarchs and magnates.
In the defense or conquest of castles, men have fought and died. To beautify
them, legions of artists and architects have been drafted into service; to
maintain them, marriages and alliances have been forged between great families
and great fortunes. Kings and queens, princes and prelates, aristocrats,
favorites and courtiers have inhabited their magnificent rooms; ghosts that live
on in memory are said to descend the wide marble staircases, plot vendettas in
secret rooms, or dance to ancient melodies before the immense fireplaces of vast
salons.
Leafing through the pages of this volume, dwelling on the superb photographs and
rich descriptions, is to visit the world's most fascinating castles. To enter
these historic buildings, to climb narrow spiral stairs and to pass through
ancient chambers and dusty libraries is to embark upon a journey of discovery
and to encounter the power and the pageantry, the splendor and the brilliance of
a great chapter in our history.
