Description
Book Introduction
The author whose book was selected as the 'Best Illustrated Book' by the New York Times for two consecutive years,
The beautiful "Guide to Rome" by Miroslav Sasek
From the winter of 1959 to the spring of 1960, Miroslav Sasek would walk through Rome every morning at sunrise, from sunrise until dusk.
He walks through every nook and cranny of the city, delicately capturing the people and scenery of Rome with his own humor and warm gaze.
The book opens with the founding myth of Romulus and Remus, followed by a panoramic view of Rome's iconic sites, including the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II.
Sasek shifts his gaze from the statues of great emperors to the daily lives of modern Romans, exquisitely weaving together ancient heritage and present-day life.
His gaze is cheerful and free, from the alleyway where laundry hangs to the blue ribbon announcing the birth of a newborn baby, the legend of the 'Mouth of Truth', to the ancient pyramids and the modern pyramids stacked with wine bottles.
Even when he paints the Colosseum, he captures the modern landscape of cats and tourists mingling with the magnificent architectural beauty.
The book ends with a scene of throwing a coin in front of the Trevi Fountain.
Along with the message of hope that “I will return to Rome someday,” the author’s self-portrait on the last page is depicted in mosaic wearing a toga, a traditional Roman costume, leaving a sensuous lingering memory of the journey.
Each and every scene of Sasek's illustrations is as elaborate as a work of art.
The concise yet witty writing stimulates children's imagination and brings back travel memories for adults.
"This Is Rome" is a beautiful guide to Rome that will be loved by all generations.

Miroslav Sasek's masterpiece, "This Is Rome," is being reprinted after 60 years.
In 1960, the masterpiece, "This Is Rome," which captured the time and light of Rome in watercolor, was released to the world.
In a vibrant, warm palette and vibrant landscape, Rome unfolds before your eyes as if it were alive and breathing.
More than 60 years have passed, but the Rome in the painting is still beautiful and familiar.
With approximately 80 sketches completed during his stay in Rome and his own writings, This Is Rome remains a beloved classic capturing the time and landscape of Rome.
This reprint has been meticulously restored with precise image restoration and paper selection to fully recapture the original watercolor sensibility.
With each turn of the page, readers will experience warm textures and deep colors, and before they know it, they will be transported into the streets of Rome, the sunlight, and the breath of its people.
Illustrator's illustrator 'Miroslav Sasek'
“He is a master watercolorist with a perfect palette.”
Max Dalton, famous for being the illustrator for the film The Grand Budapest Hotel, first thinks of legendary illustrator Miroslav Sasek as his artistic inspiration.
The illustrations in Sasek's "This Is Rome" are always original and full of playfulness and vitality.
A retro feel reminiscent of 1960s advertisements and comics, combined with collage techniques and intricately depicted landmarks, creates a cityscape reminiscent of a work of art.
He was a writer with a genius sensibility who knew how to look at the world through the eyes of a child.
We have meticulously captured details that will pique children's curiosity, including transportation, clothing, street scenes, culture, and customs.
Sasek sensually harmonizes the grand, majestic outline of the city with the small, lovely everyday life hidden within it.
His thoughtful gaze, beautiful watercolor techniques, and collage-like compositions of cityscapes have been a source of profound inspiration to countless illustrators across generations.
