Summary: "Belgium" by Joseph E. Morris is a historical account that presents a vivid description of the landscape, architecture, and culture of Belgium, written in the early 20th century during a time of great turmoil. The book discusses Belgium's tragic position in the heart of Europe, reflecting on the impact of conflict on this small yet historically rich nation. Through its pages, readers can anticipate a thorough exploration of the Belgian character, architecture, art, and landscapes while highlighting the resilience of its people amidst adversity. In this work, Morris delves into the picturesque cities of Belgium, such as Bruges, Ghent, and Antwerp, and explores the unique architectural features that define each locale. He vividly captures the beauty of the country's churches and their intricate designs, the significance of its historical monuments, and the artistic legacy left by Flemish masters. The book not only serves as an ode to Belgium's past splendor but also acts as a solemn reflection on the destruction wrought by war and the hope for regeneration and restoration in the future.
