Karibik - Bahamy, Kuba, Jamajka, Portoriko, Dominikánská republika, Barbados, Francouzské Antily a dalších 40 ostrovů. Turistický průvodce s fotografiemi Miroslava Náplavy a Rudolfa Švaříčka. Vznešené palmy kolébající se nad plážemi bílého písku, průzračné vody plné korálových útesů, rumový koktejl popíjený v pohodlném křesílku - to je ten pravý Karibik, oblíbená tropická pohádka mnohých cestovatelů. Jedná se o jedinečnou oblast, která nabízí nepřeberné možnosti odpočinku na prosluněných písečných plážích a veškerý možný komfort, jenž do těchto končin láká požitkáře z celého světa. Vzhledem k těmto zřejmým přednostem patří dovolená kdekoli v Karibiku k vysněným cílům bezpočtu turistů. Kdo však pouze přijme obecně proklamovaný pozlátkový obraz souostroví a nepokusí se poznat osobité zvyklosti jednotlivých ostrovů, udělá velikou chybu. Z celého amerického kontinentu jedině tato oblast vychází z dávných tradic Afriky a ze zvyklostí Španělska, Británie, Francie, Holandska a Indie, čímž vzniká pestrobarevná mozaika kulturních vzorů a společenských i politických institucí. Karibik tak dokáže nabídnout rozhodně daleko více než jen slunce, moře, písek a příjemnou zahálku. Tento titul neobsahuje DVD. 1052 stran, 16 stran barevné příloh, 84 map. 1. vydání.
