Features: This book will guide readers to explore Britain and Ireland. The Thames River flows quietly, and beside it, Big Ben echoes its profound sound through London's fog, telling us the weight of history and the vicissitudes of time: the heroic and sorrowful spirit of the Celts who lost their homeland to the Romans; the dawn and shadows following the arrival of Christ in England; the tender emotions of knights and lovers in the midst of; the grandeur and brilliance of the Elizabethan era; the rise and fall of ideals amidst the storm of the bourgeois revolution; the decline of traditions and the shattering of idols after the smoke of World War I; and the passionate and uplifting spirit of Ireland's national revival. These will all meet you.
