This book provides everything you'll ever need in a guidebook.It is an inspiring background read, an in valuable on-the-spotcompanion and a superb souvenir of your visit. 古希腊人说，这里是海格里斯的金苹果生长的地方；阿拉伯人说，这里是天堂的层；海明威说，这里是斗牛士和死神较量的地方，是英雄的史诗和悲剧相交织的地方。 很少有哪个地方像西班牙这样引人遐思。在相当长的时间里，西班牙是一个充满神秘色彩的国度，人们更熟悉的是堂吉诃德和卡门这样的小说中的虚构人物。 1975年佛朗哥政权垮台之后，西班牙变成一个主流的西欧国家，交通网络四通八达，餐馆酒店鳞次栉比，它的自然和人文遗产也赢得了越来越多的推崇。 西班牙的建筑和艺术、自然风光和野生动物都会让来访者印象深刻，但让人心动的还是乐观的西班牙人和他们多姿多彩的生活。
在过去的500年间，越南曾多次遭遇外族入侵。这段艰辛的历史培养了越南人强烈的民族认同感和坚韧、务实的民族特性。 越南人有一句口号：“越南是一个国家，不是一场战争。”但是在二战后的30年里，越南几乎是战争的同义词。如今，战争的记忆渐渐淡去，战争的痕迹仍隐约可见——昔日的弹坑成了鱼塘，军事要塞成了旅游景点。现在的越南人口中60%是30岁以下的年轻人，他们生于战后，童年时代没有留下关于战争的记忆。 经历了多年的战乱和纷争之后，在这个共产党执政的国家，越南人的务实精神让他们选择了转向市场经济的改革。在河内的街道上，你可以感受到这里的人们为未来打拼的急切心情，而不是在很多贫困地区常见的那种孤苦无助、听天由命的无奈。 在越南，等待你的不仅仅是碧海蓝天、古迹遗址、海鲜大餐、异域风情，还有更多值得探索的人
