author himself admits that the idea for such a guide is original.
Why write about the Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace as it did thousands of people? - He says. The whole fun of it, to reach out to places less known to conceal the amazing stories. So it is with pieskimi monuments in Britain. They are often hidden and their stories are known only to a small circle of people. -It happened to me - says Kubisztal - that Kingston was looking for signs related to a dog's history. An employee of the local tourist office has acknowledged that he knew nothing, nor about history, or the plate. Meanwhile, the plate was located near the office-just around the corner.
mistake, however, those who think that the book is only for owners and admirers of dogs. Fascinating stories and mysterious legends and descriptions of unusual places, make immediately sucked into the book and begin to travel with the author. And if we get caught up in this trip, we'll find out where in the UK is the highest one mailbox, how to get to first in the world and situated in a London museum where gardening and took a typical English pub names.
Is it easy to get to pieskich history?
materials are, but you have to poke around them-the author admits. Material for the book is thus not only the fruit of years of travel, but also the hours spent in the British Library or the British lekturach writings devoted to the dogs. Even well-described space is not always easy to find: - Once I walked for hours in the cemetery, Skittering alley after alley. I was looking for a grave. He was old, neglected, ordinary, plain tombstone did not pay attention and find it required a bit of patience - says Kubisztal.
author, however, enough patience and thanks in the book you will find detailed descriptions of places and routes, about a web site and important addresses. Everything is so devised that the reader can reach the objects described here. Paul Kubisztal wanted the book was a real tour - led from place to place. -Publisher complained to me that too little written about Ireland - betrays. - The problem is that in Ireland there are many legends and stories associated with stripes, but few specific places and monuments. And when it does not describe something that you really can see, the book stops be a guide and stories of becoming.
But how unusual idea? It turns out that he was born in stages. It started with my magazine reading for the dog. The author - a journalist and photographer - the first piece described the Dog legends and places from the British Isles. In this way, would not only tell stories, but also - as he says - to change the attitude of Poles to the dogs. - I wrote mainly about the UK, where the dogs he loves and spoils - perhaps to a fault. But I wanted to (a drop hollows out rock) show that the dog can not spend my life on the meter chain chained to a doghouse.
At some point, decided to collect the accumulated stories and publish a book.
The texts that were already replied yet other stories, supplemented with practical advice and started looking for a publisher. Was it easy to find a publisher who is interested in such an unusual title? Kubisztal says, the publisher actually had resistances, then wondered what to do with the bookstores: they put in sections devoted to animals, or rather between the conductors. But in the end gave up and see two weeks ago saw the light of Dog Island Daily.
now slowly author reflects on the translation of the book and release it to the English market. The British themselves do not yet earned because of his pieskiego Guide to the British Isles. Who knows, you may get it from the Pole?
* Paul Kubisztal
He is 40 years old and although it is an economist by training, with the economy already has little in common. He lives with writing and photography circling between the Polish and the UK.
once worked in a bank. All the time, however, a passion for photography. Winning an award in one of these calls resulted in the cast - as he says - A boring job and took up what he likes most. At the start, admits it was not easy, but a reluctance to return to work "at his desk," meant that stubbornly fought for the opportunity to earn a living with their artwork.
From then took photos of the illustrated guides for Poland, not only to architectural magazines. He also wrote to the Krakow Polish Daily, Meetings of the Monuments, the cross section and several other magazines including, of course, to my dog.
Then he took up a book. Has already issued a guide to the vicinity of Krakow, then a guide to "Pieskich Islands." Any day now and will be a guide to the right bank of Krakow, which is co-author.
