Beschreibung
Discover the fascinating stories of the world’s most beautiful cemeteries, featuring spectacular photography, unique histories and famous residents.
Cities of the Dead takes us on a tour of memorial sites, ranging from
monastic settlements to
grand cathedrals,
Shinto shrines to
Gothic chapels,
tombs and
crypts. Enjoy tales of myths and monsters, grave-robbers, pilgrimages, spiritual retreats, remembrance and community. Marvel in cemeteries with a hundred thousand to a handful of graves which feature famous headstones, weeping angels, ocean views, woodlands, thousands of glowing lanterns and a tomb of poets.
From
London's famous Highgate Cemetery, which houses famous names from Karl Marx to Malcolm McLaren, George Eliot to Christina Rosetti, to
Hawaii's breathtaking Valley of the Temples, this book spans the globe to bring you the most
fascinating, intriguing and evocative cemeteries across cultures and continents.
Together with
evocative images, the stories behind these notable burial sites
bring these sanctuaries to life, detailing the features that make them special, highlighting both similarities and differences between time periods, religions and cultures, and showing how cemeteries are about and for the living as much as the dead.
