Don Quixote, the beloved itinerant knight.

Irving's "The Alhambra Story" Synopsis and Impressions - A fascinating Spanish travelogue! Highly recommended if you are going to visit the World Heritage Site of the Alhambra!

Irving traveled here to Granada in 1829 and stayed at the Alhambra.

The work based on that trip was written as "The Tales of the Alhambra," and the book made the Alhambra well known to Western society.

This book will definitely make you want to go there. If you are already planning to go, please read this book. If you are already planning to go there, please read this book and you will definitely enjoy it many times more. This book will be an immensely powerful motivational tool before you go on your trip.

This book is a great introduction to Spanish culture. I highly recommend this work.

Shiro Shinono, "Photographs: Historical Architecture of Eastern Anatolia" - Unknown and unique church architecture of Turkey, Armenia, and Syria!

The "Photographs: Historical Architecture of Eastern Anatolia Stone Arks in Oblivion" introduced here is another very valuable work. I feel very fortunate to have come across these works. It made me think about the meaning of this book's release to the world.

To be honest, it's a pretty geeky book. It is a genre of book that I would never have encountered if I had not studied Kafkaesque through Tolstoy. But the power of this book is real. I highly recommend it.

Shiro Shinono, "Architecture and Climate of the Republic of Armenia" - A recommended photo book to learn about the unique church architecture of the oldest Christian country in the world!

This work will be a collection of photographs covering churches in Armenia, the oldest Christian country in the world.

From Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, you can see Mount Ararat, famous for Noah's Ark. It was this very presence of Mt. Ararat that made me interested in Armenia.

This is a valuable work that allows visitors to learn about the culture of Armenia, which has had a unique history, while viewing photos of historic buildings.

V. Belize, "Historical Architecture of Georgia: Christian Architectural Art of the Caucasus" - Recommended for a preliminary study of tourism in Georgia!

This work is an invaluable guidebook that provides an in-depth description of Georgia's unique church architecture.

Little is known about Georgian churches in Japan, but their unique structure and beauty are enough to make one wince just by looking at their pictures.

And the book not only describes the church architecture, but also provides a travel guide for visiting the churches.

This is a valuable book.
