Prague, New Orleans & Florence - Secrets

These three new offerings from Jonglez Publishing, make the ideal stocking stuffers for Christmas, or something to pop in your bag if you are travelling to one of these fascinating detinations

Art Nouveau masterpiece, Prague holds many secrets. Secrets of castle alchemists, the message in the hidden palindrome on Charles Bridge, the Kabbalistic mysteries of the Jewish ghetto, and a thief's shrivelled arm hanging in a church. There are these, and so many more, in this fascinating book.

If you thought you knew all about Florence, this book will turn your mind upside down. This book will tell you where you may visit a church in prison, learn how the centre of hermetism during the Renaissance, and hunt for 34 plaques displaying quotes from the Devine Comedy. Florence holds many well-hidden treasures that are revealed only to the city's inhabitants or those who know how to step off the beaten track.

Far from the crowds and the usual cliches, New Orleans offers countless off-beat experiences. This book will help you find houses built to resemble riverboats, the finest business hall in the world, a meteorite in a golf course, a back alley that serves as a portal of the voodoo after-world, a 1960s time capsule, and a house made of 1200 glass ashtrays.

But wait, there's more....read about them for yourself.
