History of Dubrovnik before, during and after Yugoslav Wars is recorded in photo book
Since then massive efforts have been made to restore Dubrovnik’s rich heritage (The Art Newspaper has regularly published accounts of the work of the Croatian Monuments Fund, among others). I suppose what makes this collection of photographs impressive is that it inspires hope. The photographs recorded the city’s beauty and charm on the eve of its destruction; they show its devastation, disfigurement and in some cases total destruction, but then we are shown a resurrection, not only of buildings and features, but also of vibrant life and activity. This book will be treasured by anyone who knows Dubrovnik and, one might hope, be a strong encouragement to visit for those who do not.
