Produktbeschreibung

A photographic full-colour hardback book to celebrate the seaside and university town - Aberystwyth - considered to be one of the most iconic towns in Wales.

---

There may be several 'abers' in Wales, but one Aber stands alone.This 'end-of-the-line' town has so many different faces to show us; as a town of books, it is a bohemian hotbed of learning - home to the National Library of Wales and Aberystwyth University. But it is also a traditional seaside town beloved of lively kiss-me-quick holidaymakers and sober Sunday-school trippers alike. A town of chips and cheap lager, of delis and gourmet grub, the pier and Penglais, the prom and Pen Dinas. Aber is a kaleidescope - or should that be 'collide-a-scope'? of experience.In six contrasting essays, some of Wales's best writers explore their relationship with Aberystwyth, and in so doing, raise the curtain on many aspects that make this town unique. Keith Morris's vivid and striking photographs are the uniting force which complement and augment these stories from a small town with big ideas. Here is a 'present from Aberystwyth' with a difference!
