The Story of Liverpool (häftad, eng)

There is something special about Liverpool. From its earliest beginnings it has always been associated with the ups and downs, the triumphs and tribulations of the rest of the country, acting like a mirror to the events that have shaped the country we now think of as Great Britain.

As one of the major ports in the land, Liverpool has witnessed the comings and goings of people from all corners of the world who, over the centuries, have constituted the melting pot of nations which has given rise to what we now think of as a typical scouser. In The Story of Liverpool the author has tried not to present the reader with facts and figures, diagrams and statistics that usually form an integral part of an academic history, but to concentrate on the story or romance of Liverpool''s evolution over the years.

Uppermost in his mind was an attempt to bring history to life, to give it a plot and characters and to convey to the reader and idea of what it would have felt like to be alive at various stages in the city''s evolution. The first popular history of Liverpool for many years, this is a comprehensive and revealing account of the city''s development from it''s earliest days to modern times.

Lively, readable and well-illustrated, this is a tremendous book for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.
