About the book: 2007 / “My home is my fortress!” - say the British. But the British Isles are just as strong for them. Being the birthplace of the industrial revolution, one of the most developed and densely populated countries, Britain strikes first-time visitors here primarily with a combination of well-groomed and deserted countryside landscapes, confidence and peace, loyalty to centuries-old traditions and veneration of ancient monuments. To understand this independent and reserved nation (“Silence is the English way of conversation,” Heine believed), it is necessary to adapt to the rhythm of Great Britain - its climate, sea, green grass, its social life, old universities, golf, cities, sights... To better get to know this amazing country, so different from other powers of the world, the book offered to your attention will help you, after reading it you may agree with Oscar Wilde: “I would not want to change anything in England except the weather".
