Nicholas Shrady Tilt: A Skewed History of the Tower of Pisa
Penguin (Non-Classics) 0143034502 / 9780143034506 MASS MARKET PAPERBACK New
0143034502 0143034502 Product DescriptionIn the tradition of the bestselling Brunelleschi?s Dome, this acclaimed book by architectural critic Nicholas Shrady takes a look?from every angle?at one of the most storied and recognizable structures in the world. The Tower of Pisa has withstood gravity, war, earthquakes, and an onslaught of tourists for hundreds of years. But Shrady shows us much more than a structure that has defied the odds. Boasting a revolutionary design at its construction, the tower has born witness to a remarkable history, from its celebration by Romantics like Lord Byron to the corrective surgery at the hands of Mussolini that almost ruined it. Hugely entertaining and informative, Tilt is a triumph worthy of its imperfect yet enduring subject.About the AuthorNicholas Shrady is the author of Sacred Roads: Adventures from the Pilgrimage Trail. His articles have appeared in Architectural Digest, The New York Times Book Review, Travel & Leisure, Forbes, and Town & Country.
