Summary note
"Seoul has one of the richest histories of any Asian city, and yet the vestiges of its past are often masked by its ultra-modern landscapes. Old Seoul takes the reader back to the last decades of the nineteenth century, when the city evolved from being the closed capital of the 'Hermit Kingdom', in the shadow of China, to becoming the international entrepot it is today." "Old Seoul's illustrations and insights capture the city at a fleeting yet vital time in its growth. Its fresh approach will delight both armchair travellers and people who know the city well."--Jacket.
