Buenos Aires by Jason Wilson

An authoritative introduction and intimate guide to the past and present of Argentina's vibrant, fascinating city: Buenos Aires
This beautifully written book is more than a guideIt is a history, a compendium of must-see places, and a biography of some of the main players over the centuries, catering not just for the tourist but for bookworms, lovers of art, music, and architecture. Wilson s words are given life and colour by excellent illustrations, while the inserts in each chapter are an additional surprise and delight. --Evelyn Fishburn, author of Hidden Pleasures in Borges s Fiction"
