This is Israel by Miroslav Šašek
M. Šašek takes a bright and breezy trip through Israel. It is a lovely, colourful book with plenty of typical Sasek illustrations.
This was the first This is book to be devoted to a whole country, albeit a small one. It is also one of the few Šašek books to be made into a film.
Like the other Šašek classics, This is Israel is a facsimile edition of the original book that is still timely and current in every way. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Šašek's witty, playful narrative, make the book a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember it from their childhood. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than forty years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a "This is ... Today" page at the back of the book.
Condition: There are some tears to the dust jacket and a name written on the nameplate to the interior. The book itself is in very good condition.
