Dublin is now one of the top ten tourist destinations in Europe and despite its small size holds a wealth of architecture and culture to rival any other European capital. Churches, theatres, clubs, stately homes and street markets all nestle together, as closely knit as the community itself. Inspiration of literary luminaries such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde, it is a city steeped in history and influence. This stunning photographic collection offers a visual feast of the beauty and style of this now cosmopolitan city. From the ravages of its turbulent history rise the restored remains of its heritage, depicting a city of culture, sophistication and style. A phoenix arisen from the past. Cutting edge architectural design mingles with Georgian and Victorian classicism whilst the ever-present, never-changing River Liffey passes swiftly through on its journey to the sea. For anyone intending to visit, past visitors or those just interested in Irish architecture and design, this is a fabulous book with the charismatic text of Robert O'Byrne providing a fascinating insight into this beautiful city's development. - Lucy Watson

内容简介

With its literary history and Georgian architecture, its modern art galleries and classic pubs, Dublin has become both an international tourist destination and a place for stylish, sophisticated lifestyles. This book explores a city that both embodies urban life in a previous century and represents European style in the new millennium. Georgian Dublin, the traditional city, has been restored to its former grace and grandeur. Its elegant streets and squares and its major architectural monuments provide the old city with an infrastructure from which new, hip neighborhoods have arisen. New Dublin is represented by the rejuvenated neighborhood of Temple Bar, the city s own "Left Bank." Its eighteenth-century streets are now home to a heady mixture of art centers and galleries, bars, restaurants, clubs, and shops. Major features in the book evoke the stylish residences of the new Dublin, the lifestyles and homes of the city s social, artistic, and commercial elite—from opulent, traditional Georgian to spare modernist and the very latest in urban loft conversions. Dublin s social tradition is represented in the hotels and parks, shops, bars, and racetracks—all alive with the resurgent excitement of the city. And the book explores the city s special relationship with the literary life, from Jonathan Swift to Roddy Doyle—not to mention Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Joyce, O Casey, and Beckett—whose impact never fades. Living in Dublin is a visual delight, completed by listings of places to stay and eat and a guide to the sights of the city. 250 color illustrations.
