He shares his vision in this beautifully illustrated guide to the city, which he renders convincingly real in nearly 300 drawings of different districts of Urville. He describes, in remarkable detail, the architectural styles of its individual buildings and provides historical, geographical, economic and cultural information. This includes historical figures and cultural anecdotes grounded in historical reality - Tr馼in accounts for the effects of the Vichy regime, the Second World War and globalisation on his imagined city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers fascinating evidence of and insight into the creative power of the autistic mind and will be of interest to people with autism and without.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilles Trehin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843104199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843104193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 11.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Gilles Trehin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989499314431,"sku":"9781843104193","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a2737ba-bf59-44c8-a762-1e52e89dc234.jpg?v=1683299860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urville-gilles-trehin-9781843104193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
