Meer over het boek
It has mountains loftier than the Alps and wildlife that rivals Africa s. It has fjords on a par with Norway s, vast fields of grain, and 2 million lakes contained within the world s longest coastline. Some of its cities are among the world s most modern; others call to mind the old-world charm of western Europe. Canada is a land of nearly infinite variety. In Spectacular Canada, Gerald Hall, former travel editor of the Toronto Star, takes the reader on an extraordinary guided tour of this beautiful country, a surprising portion of which is still unexplored. The book offers a wide array of images, from Quebec City, which recalls the Left Bank of Paris, to the continent s largest Chinatown (in Toronto), to idyllic pleasures in the vast Canadian wilderness. Inuit villages and majestic evergreen forests are among the timeless subjects featured in this colorful armchair tour. 200 color photographs, including 18 pages of panoramic gatefolds, by some of Canada s most respected photographers are featured.
