Summary
Igor Gostl: Zagreb parks and promenades
A nostalgic look into the past
With his book, Igor Gostl continues the famous chain of writers who followed the development and condition of Zagreb's paths and horseshoes. He did not limit himself to the horticultural level of the story about our beautiful green Zagreb, but encompasses that wonderful and old story as a whole and tells us known and unknown stories about church dignitaries, architects, sculptors, mayors and the common people, thus reviving Zagreb's history. That's why the book is also interesting for the reader who is not particularly interested in the scientific treatment of garden and park areas, but needs a reliable, interesting and scientifically based guide to Zagreb's parks so that he can feel the march of history while walking along their paths.
