Richly illustrated with newly commissioned photography, [this book] tells the stories of these magnificent buildings and the families that constructed them, immersing us in the vanished world of the region's aristocracy. With a wonderful combination of brisk scholarship and wry wit, Lord Michael Pratt set his discussion of the houses and their patrons against the backdrop of Central European history -- indeed so intimately were the personal lives of these families interwoven with the political and cultural lives of their countries that to proceed otherwise would be impossible.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Cary Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45706210967750,"sku":"37491","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0210\/6626\/files\/2026_04_10_11_12_08_001.jpg?v=1775842089","url":"https:\/\/thecarycollection.com\/products\/the-great-country-houses-of-central-europe-czechoslovakia-hungary-poland-1991-pratt-michael-trumler-gerard","provider":"The Cary Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
