Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 304 pp, folio (14 1/4" H). Profusely illustrated in colour. "Built to astonish and to celebrate the magnificence of the most powerful families in the world, royal palaces and houses are the consequences of an age in which the splendor and opulence of a prince or a people could be measured by the decor of a salon, by the grandeur of a building or the originality of a fountain. Suspended between the sky and the earth, as occurred in the Far East, or solidly rooted to the ground, as was the norm in Europe, the house of the monarch has always been the meeting point of two minds: that of the master, who saw in his house the expression of his power and creativity, and that of the architect and teams of craftsmen who built it for him, often creating a noble monument rather than a place to live. This book tells of the mysteries and legends of the buildings and the official and secret versions of the history of their occupants. The text is complemented by a series of splendid photographs that together offer the reader a visit through space and time to the most famous palaces of the world where the lives of royal families and their courts burned bright and where beauty mixed with power." Palaces covered: Royal Palace of Turin; Royal Palace of Caserta; Royal Palace of Versailles, Castle of Chambord; Castle of Fontainebleau; Alhambra; Escorial; Royal Palace of Queluz; Buckingham Palace; Hampton Court; Castle of Brussels; Het Loo Palace; Castle of Neuschwanstein; Castle of Charlottenburg; Sans Souci; Schonbrunn; Esterhaza; Castle of Prague; Palace of Wilanow; Rosenborg; Royal Palace in Oslo; Royal Palace in Stockholm; Kremlin; Karskoe Selo; Peterhof; Topkapi Palace; Amber Fort; Red Fort in Delhi; Forbidden City; Royal Palace in Bangkok.
