Bulgaria, an Eastern European country, previously unknown in the West, but now becoming a magnet for tourists; more than 10 million people visited in the last year, an ever increasing number. Many will want to know more about the place they are going to, but will be disappointed; few books are internationally available. "The City That Does Not Age" aims to change that. Discover the turbulent history of Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, founded at the dawn of time by the Thracians, a legendary and now extinct race; a city which has been part of three empires during its life. The book contains the impressions of both distinguished guests and ordinary visitors to this little known European capital at different stages of its existence. It also reveals the many treasures of the place that the rest of the world is unaware of.
