Hofmann, Paul The Sunny Side of the Alps: Year-Round Delights in South Tyrol and the Dolomites
New York, New York, U.S.A. Henry Holt & Company 1995 0805032592 / 9780805032598 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.50. 241 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Publishers Weekly Hoffman, author of several guides (The Spell of the Vienna Woods; That Fine Italian Hand) that combine distinctive personal experiences with more than ordinarily detailed historical background, customs and practical advice, takes us on a tour of the villages and sights of the south Tyrolean Alps. With its German, Italian and Ladin speakers, the region is not so well frequented by vacationing Americans as it is by Europeans, who enjoy its camping facilities, mountain-climbing challenges, excellent skiing, spas and spectacular scenery. Hoffman devotes considerable attention to the 1991 accidental discovery, by two German tourists walking down Mt. Similaun, of the world's oldest nearly intact human being (said to be about 5300 years old) preserved in ice; and he dips into the area's attractions for famous historical and artistic figures, including Freud, who set tongues wagging on his visits with his sister-in-law. Hoffman provides detailed information about architecture, art, local foods, roads, routes and public transportation. But he doesn't list, as more conventional guidebooks do, restaurants, hostelries and rates; and two maps (not seen by PW) seem insufficient for the areas covered. Still, his general comments on the available offerings are perceptive and helpful. (July) Booknews A gracefully written appreciation of the glorious south slope of the Alps where the mountains descend through the dolomites, hill towns, vinyards in northern Italy: the Alto Adige.
