Uittreksel

"This is the English edition of the second volume of a monumental five-volume survey undertaken by the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences. The series will provide the English-speaking world, experts and general readers alike, with a full account of the rich, but for non-Croats very incompletely known, history of Croatian culture from the earliest times to the present."--BOOK JACKET.
