Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. Simon Gaul gives the inside story of his boyhood home, visiting the monumental sites of prehistoric Malta, delving into the mysteries of the Knights of Saint John and revealing the North African influences that permeate all aspects of life on the island. He shows you how to avoid the crowds and how to find them, tracking down hidden bays and secluded anchorages, as well as listing lively festivals and markets, and the trendiest beaches. Fabulous color photos and practical travel advice are teamed with the very latest eating out and hotel listings to help you get the most out of Malta, lush, green Gozo and tiny Comino, with its world-famous diving sites.
Over 5,500 detailed biographies of the most eminent, talented and distinguished women in the world today.
A study of an exceptionally interesting primary source - the Henrykow Book - and of the local and regional world which that source reflected and helped shape. This volume mines the Henrykow Book for the information it provides about the social, political, religious, and literary contexts of medieval Europe.
Deborah Manley's selection of extracts reveals how generations of writers have viewed the landscapes of Malta and Gozo, the people of the islands, the splendours of Valletta and its famous harbour, and the celebrated festas, the village festivals that celebrate the island's Catholic identity. An introduction places these extracts in context, while the anthology also considers how Maltese writers have imagined and depicted their homeland.
