Salisbury
Author: Bruce Purvis
Publisher: Breedon Books Publishing
ISBN: 9781859833063
Category : Salisbury (England)
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
A VIVID INSIGHT into the dramatic developments that have taken place in the town's recent past, this book recalls houses and buildings, shops, business and pubs that have vanished or been altered almost beyond recognition. It takes the reader on a tour that compares current streetscapes with photographs and other illustrations made from the same viewpoints in the past. Many come from local archive sources and provide an unrivalled record of the story of the city. The resulting contrast offers an illuminating insight into Salisbury's evolution over the last 200 years. Bruce Purvis traces the overlapping phases of Salisbury's distinctive history, from medieval new town, to a centre of industry, commerce and transport, to a centre for tourism and the service economy in the present day. Fascinating reading and reference for everyone who is interested in Salisbury's rich, surprising history.

Sarum
Author: Edward Rutherfurd
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307806049
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 913
Book Description
A masterpiece of breathtaking scope—a brilliantly conceived epic novel that traces the entire turbulent course of English history This ebook edition features a new introduction by the author in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of Sarum. This rich tapestry weaves a compelling saga of five families—the Wilsons, the Masons, the family of Porteus, the Shockleys, and the Godfreys—who reflect the changing character of Britain. As their fates and fortunes intertwine over the course of the centuries, their greater destinies offer a fascinating glimpse into the future. An absorbing historical chronicle, Sarum is a keen tale of struggle and adventure, a profound human drama, and a magnificent work of sheer storytelling. Praise for Sarum “Bursts with action, encyclopedic in historic detail . . . supremely well crafted and a delight to read.”—Chicago Tribune “A fascinating journey . . . a clear yet sparkling window upon history with a superb narrative, so perfectly balanced between history and fiction that it clears away the mists of time from antiquity, giving the reader the impression that events over a span of ten centuries occurred only yesterday.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Strong . . . appealing . . . I haven’t read so satisfactory a saga in years . . . in fact, perhaps not ever before. . . . It gives you not only history but comfort.”—Chicago Sun-Times “[Edward] Rutherfurd holds us all consistently intrigued. In Sarum he has created a splendid novel that will bring many hours of diversified reading pleasure.”—The Plain Dealer “A richly imagined vision of history, written with genuine delight.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Rutherfurd is at his best. . . . His storytelling skills are substantial. . . . One of the best books of the season.”—Kansas City Star “Absorbing . . . a superior historical novel . . . This blockbuster saga should appeal to discriminating readers, since Rutherfurd has an excellent grasp of his subject and a compelling story to tell.”—Publishers Weekly
