This bilingual anthology is conceived to epitomise the open spirit, hospitality and generosity of a small country in the global world. From the idiosyncrasy of the Slovak village, through stunning castles, spectacular mountains and a cosmopolitan capital city, the poems celebrate the richness and raw quality of the Slovakian people and landscape. English poems of leading contemporary British poets are presented side by side with their Slovak translations, showcasing the poets' personal recollections and observations concerning Slovakia and the wider society. A set of full-colour photographs complements the words and reflect the country's unique character, away from clich�d representations. The book is an artwork and invitation for readers to experience this beautiful country with all their senses, in an authentic, personal way.
