Mit Miroslav Sasek unterwegs in der 'Serenissima': Wir fahren mit der Gondel durch den Canale Grande, bewundern bei strahlendblauem Himmel den Dogenpalast und viele prachtvolle Palazzi, durchstreifen die zahllosen Gassen und Kanäle, spazieren über die Rialtobrücke und erleben die Stadt bei 'acqua alta'. Wir begegnen Postkartenverkäufern und Marktleuten, Gondolieri und natürlich den von Tauben umflatterten Touristen auf dem Markusplatz. 'Alle Städte sind gleich, nur Venedig ist ein bissl anders', wusste schon Friedrich Torbergs Tante Jolesch. Der große Miroslav Sasek liebte Venedig - und mit welcher Begeisterung er durch diese fast unwirklich schöne Stadt spazierte, spiegelt sich auf jeder Seite dieses Buches.

Vedle světových metropolích – Paříži, New Yorku, Londýnu – portrétoval Miroslav Šašek také země – Řecko, Austrálii, Irsko, Texas… a také Izrael. Obrazový průvodce po Izraeli zachycuje tento „mladý“ stát (kniha vznikla v roce 1962, pouhých čtrnáct let po deklaraci nezávislého státu) a Šaškovo vyprávění je plné odkazů na historii dávnou, vpravdě biblickou. „A podívejte se, jaká je ta země a jaký lid v ní bydlí,“ nabádá bible – a Miroslav Šašek tak činí. Vidí Izrael plný připomínek Ježíšových zázraků i moderních letišť a slunečních elektráren, Izrael pokrytý pouští i lidnatými městy. Izrael ortodoxních židů i pouličních malířů. Izrael dávný i dnešní.

Mit dem großen Miroslav Sasek in die »Ewige Stadt«: Von den Spuren der Antike – Forum Romanum, Pantheon, Kolosseum, die Kaiser – bis ins bunte Leben im Rom der Sechzigerjahre mit seinen Baristas und fröhlich auf der Vespa vorbei knatternden Einwohnern. Sasek stattet den römischsten Römern in Trastevere einen Besuch ab, aber natürlich auch dem Petersdom, der Fontana di Trevi bei Nacht und der überfüllten Sixtinischen Kapelle. Er stellt Theologiestudenten aus aller Herren Länder vor und elegante Carabinieri, begeisterte Spaghetti-Esser und missmutige Weinhändler. Wir sehen weiße Wäsche, die vor einem knallblauen Himmel trocknet, Palmen auf Dachterrassen, Orangen in Hinterhöfen und Pyramiden aus Chiantiflaschen ... Alle Wege führen nach Rom, aber dieses Buch ist zweifellos eine der vergnüglichsten Arten, in der legendären Stadt unterwegs zu sein. Ursprünglich 1960 erschienen, ist Rom eine liebevolle Faksimile-Ausgabe des Originals, erweitert durch einen Anhang mit Informationen und Daten über das heutige Rom.

New York

Als Miroslav Sasek New York Ende der 1950er-Jahre besuchte, war der 'big apple' die größte Stadt der westlichen Welt – und alles dort war 'groß': New York hatte die höchsten Wolkenkratzer, die schlimmsten Verkehrsstaus, den gewaltigsten Hafen und die prächtigsten Kaufhäuser. In Sachen Größe wurde die Stadt New York mittlerweile überholt, aber der besondere Zauber und die magische Anziehungskraft sind unverändert. Wir sind uptown und downtown unterwegs, fahren mit dem Aufzug, dem Bus und der U-Bahn, besuchen die Wall Street und Chinatown, das Guggenheim Museum und Coney Island, den Central Park und Restaurants aller Nationalitäten. Wir bewundern die wichtigsten Skyscraper, den Times Square und Manhattan bei Nacht, werfen aber auch einen Blick auf Hydranten, Feuerleitern und Erdnussautomaten. Und natürlich auf die typischen New Yorker: Passanten und spielende Kinder, Schuhputzer und Liftboys, Hot-Dog-Verkäufer und Pizzabäcker. Saseks Illustrationen waren stilbildend – und sie wirken heute so frisch wie zur Zeit ihres Entstehens. Auch der Band „New York“ lebt von Saseks besonderem Talent, den Charme und das Lebensgefühl einer Stadt mit Witz und Wärme aufs Papier zu bannen. Ursprünglich 1960 erschienen, ist „New York“ eine liebevolle Faksimile-Ausgabe des Originals, erweitert durch einen Anhang mit Informationen und Daten über das New York von heute.
