Aprašymas

There is nothing more romantic than paradise lost. An abandoned or destroyed garden conjures up notions of lost innocence, an Arcadian past and the fleeting moments that make up our rapidly changing world. They often have a remarkable story behind their creation, decline and occasional rebirth.

This specially illustrated book journeys through over 30 gardens from around the world - lost either through neglect or destruction - bringing them back to life, alongside the people and society that first created and enjoyed them. From the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the great Paradise Gardens of the Mughal Empire to Ninfa, Italy's floriferous ruined medieval city; from a German Prince's pleasure grounds to the pillaged Summer Palace of Beijing, this book visits the famous gardens of history and memory with a literary, curious and joyful eye.
