Having travelled to Bermuda many times over the past twenty years (and I lived there for a time as well), I have to say this is the finest and most complete "coffee-table" book on the island that I have ever seen.It is large-format, filled with superb color photographs (including a lotof aerial shots as well as some archival photographs of Bermuda in themid-20th century). The text gives you a concise, intelligent overview ofBermuda's history. I've given a number of copies to friends who love theisland. The jacket blurb says the author was once a Peace Corps Volunteer,and it shows ... this is a real in-depth portrait, not just"post-cardy" superficial coverage. I have several other books onBermuda, but this one is in a class by itself. Posted on July 9, 2011 Kenda Rives says... The photos are beautiful, the content is fascinating.I bought this book after visiting Bermuda and realize how much I missed.It's not really a travel book, more like a love story (with Bermuda). Posted on July 11, 2011 Argelia Richbourg says... When I went to Bermuda for the first time recently, I wanted to leaarn more about this lovely island.Labrucherie's book provides exactly what I wanted - a readable and fairly comprehensive history of the island, as well as many beautiful pictures.Just perfect! Posted on July 12, 2011 Wen Sherrock says... This elegant photography book provides a thoughtful and perceptive portrait of a genteel world all of its own.It makes one think that to escape modern life, the place to go is Bermuda.There is a wide varietyamong the hundred fifty or so photographs, from close-ups of people toscenic panoramas, all in rich, lush colors.The beach scenes and sunsetsare breathtaking.A bonus is the extensive historical background presentedin an easy to absorb reader-friendly style.Particularly interesting arethe stories of how Bermuda found itself squeezed between England and theThirteen Colonies during the Revolutionary War and between North and Southin the American Civil War.The author reveals that there were no cars onBermuda until the 1940s and describes the more recent transformation of theisland into a corporate center, "the Switzerland of theAtlantic."The care and craftsmanship that went into the creation ofthis work is obvious.This is literally a "Bermudaful" book. And do not forget to catch the sweetheart on page 17! Posted on July 13, 2011 Jay Rozo says... My husband and I are taking a trip to Bermuda and my husband was looking for a good book with lots of colorful pictures. I wanted some history as well as good information on things to do. This was my husband's Father's Day gift this year and we are both enjoying the book. It is making us more excited about our upcoming trip. Posted on July 20, 2011 Leave a Comment |
