Rarely has the charm and unique atmosphere of Bavaria's capital been captured so heartwarmingly and stylishly as in Miroslav Sasek's large-format book on Munich. Hofbräuhaus and the Isar River, Weisswurst and the Chinese Tower, trams and Parkstadt, hairdryers and of course Oktoberfest: Through a mix of detailed cityscapes and humorous everyday scenes, we encounter a lovable city that continues to attract and enchant around five million travelers each year. In the early 1960s, Sasek's city books (including those on Paris, London, Rome, and New York) were created, making him popular and highly successful. The clear layout, Sasek's distinctive style, his friendly humor, and his love for expressive details set a stylistic standard. His books exude an irresistible nostalgic charm and remain just as fresh and engaging today, half a century later.
