Treasures of Ukraine: A Nation's Cultural Heritage

Image
 Treasures from Ukraine A beautifully illustrated book published by Thames and Hudson When you hear the word Ukraine, now your mind thinks of War. This amazing country, battling so well, has an amazing rich history. Its treasures are beautiful. Here in this book, with a forward by Andrey Kurkov, you get an insight into the countries varied past through its treasures. The reader can delve into the richness of Art & culture. From Byzantine to the stunning architecture of its buildings. All explained by those who know them best, curators and artists. Published in hardback form. There are over 256 pages.  My only critique is that the images, like the text, are printed on paper, no gloss to them. I think that a gloss finish would have made the images stand out more. Matt does dampen the striking effect of an image I don't post Amazon links but encourage you to buy from Independant booksellers. All proceeds will be donated to PEN Ukraine, to help Ukrainian authors in need and support
