Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Steve Panton (illustrator). 1st Edition. First collected edition, first impression, first published as a series of essays in 'Intelligent Life / The Economist'. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£12.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 221pp. From a stunning villa on sunny Capri with Ali Smith to an unlikely temple in the heart of Copenhagen with Alan Hollingshurst 'Treasure Palaces' brings together over twenty of the world's greatest writers to give their own personal tours of the museums that have awed, haunted and inspired them. Join Andrew Motion as he muses on writerly methods in the British Library, or Matthew Sweet at the hands on joy of the ABBA museum. Julian Barnes meditates on Jean Sibelius's music, as well as the composer's apple corer, while visiting his home in Helsinki. Jacqueline Wilson encounters the dolls of Le Musee de la Poupee, Tim Winton remembers his first bare foot encounter with the National Gallery of Victoria, and Aminatta Forna ponders love tokens in The Museum of Broken Relationships. From mausoleums to massive galleries, from London and New York to Kabul and Zagreb, Treasure Palaces explores some of the world's greatest and sometimes surprising museums. The result is a collection of moving, lyrical essays that speak to the enduring power of museums in our cultural life, and will leave you longing to revisit your favourite treasure palace or looking for a new one to explore. Quite a scarce book.
