The Lake Of Lucerne: Exploring the Scenic and Historical transitions of Lake Lucerne - Couverture souple
Synopsis
"The Lake of Lucerne" by Joseph E. Morris offers a comprehensive exploration of one of Switzerland's most iconic and picturesque lakes. The text delves into the geographical, historical, and cultural significance of Lake Lucerne, also known as the Vierwaldstättersee. Morris begins by describing the lake's unique shape and its dramatic setting amidst the Swiss Alps, highlighting its complex form and the surrounding mountainous terrain that contributes to its breathtaking beauty. The narrative captures the essence of Lucerne as a destination that, despite its popularity among tourists, retains its ancient charm and allure. Morris provides a vivid account of the lake's various sections, each with its distinct character. He describes the placid and pastoral shores near Lucerne city, the more mountainous and dramatic Bay of Küsnacht, and the historically rich Lake of Alpnach. The text also touches upon the legendary and historical narratives associated with the region, such as the tales of William Tell and the historical figure Nicolas von der Flüe, whose influence helped shape Swiss unity. The author further explores the cultural and architectural heritage of the area, including the medieval structures in Lucerne city, the wooden bridges adorned with paintings, and the poignant Lion Monument commemorating the Swiss Guards who died in 1792. Morris's narrative is enriched with descriptions of the natural beauty and the serene landscapes that surround the lake, offering readers a sense of the tranquility and majesty that define this Swiss landmark.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -If Lucerne is the most widely advertised lake in the world¿if its name, inrecent years, has come to be associated, less with ancient gallant exploits ofhalf-legendary William Tells than with cheap Polytechnic Tours andhordes of personally conducted trippers, it has luckily forfeited singularlylittle of its ancient charm and character, and remains, if you visit it at theright moment¿or at any moment, if you are not too fastidious in yourclaims for solitude and æsthetic exclusiveness¿possibly the most beautifuland unquestionably the most dramatic and striking of all the half-dozen orso greater lakes, Swiss or Italian, that cluster round the outskirts of thegreat central knot of Alps. 'Cluster round the outskirts,' for it ischaracteristic of all these lakes, just as it is characteristic of most of ourgreater English meres at home¿of Windermere, for example, orBassenthwaite, or Ullswater¿that, though their upper ends penetrate moreor less deeply (and Lucerne and Ullswater more deeply than any) amongthe bases of the hills, yet their lower reaches, whence discharge the mightyrivers, invariably trail away into open plain, or terminate among meregentle undulations. Of all this class of lake, then¿lakes of the transition¿Lucerne is at once the most complex in shape, the least comprehensible inbulk, and the most immediately mountainous in character. 36 pp. Englisch.
