Captors of Time: Monuments of the Millennium

This is a study of 34 monuments, including background and illustrations. These monuments reflect the aesthetic inspirations, socio-economic conditions and the architectural styles spread over a thousand years. The author describes places of worship – Angkor, Isafahan, Byodo-in, Chartres – as well as citadels of power – Kremlin, Forbidden City, Versailles. Some are of a melancholy enchantment such as the Alhambra and Borobodur.
