Cape Town

Simultaneously city and wilderness, Cape Town is a wondrous place: an area of haunting natural beauty and captivating urban charm. Here, under the spellbinding magnificence of Table Mountain, jagged cliffs tumble steeply into the sea; mountain faces tower above pristine beaches; and an indigenous floral kingdom lights up the countenance of mountains and valleys. Paying meticulous attention to detail. Gerald Hoberman presents an insightful portrait of the city's history, architectural heritage, people and diverse cultures. A magnificent book of outstanding quality, Cape Town will appeal to all those who share an interest in and love for South Africa's mother city.
