Rome Antics BSW841

US$25.95

A pigeon carrying an important message takes the reader on a unique tour through Rome. As we follow the path of this somewhat wayward bird, we discover that Rome is a place where past and present live side by side. Every time a corner is turned there is a surprise, just as every turn of the page brings a new perspective. This juxtaposition of ancient and modern, as seen with David Macaulay's ingenious vision, gives the reader an imaginative and informative journey through this wondrous city.

这天，鸽子衔着一封重要的信，忽然决定不抄近路，而是来个任性的罗马城之旅。
　　糊涂的小鸟在城里兜兜转转，我们就一页又一页，跟着她在城市的各个角落穿梭。我们绕着古老的石柱和古罗马城市广场盘旋，俯瞰被阳光晒热的土红色屋顶，我们从君士坦丁凯旋门滑翔而过，又俯冲进狭小的砾石窄巷……借着鸽子的眼睛，我们观赏到了罗马城中许多令人赞叹的场景，也和无数精美绝伦的建筑细节亲密接触，然后我们发现，这个已经有了两千多年历史的老城既没有损失时间的味道，也没有像呆板的博物馆那样展现它的光辉：神庙的题字和霓虹灯友好地分享了一面墙，电动公交车就行驶在老竞技场旁的圆石路上。在这个城市，每一次转弯都是一个惊喜；在这个城市，"过去"和"现在"和谐共存，相得益彰。
　　鸽子的自由行终于结束了，等信的人终于迎来了他的答案。信里到底写了什么呢？
