People are so concentrated on making their way to the landscape that they seldom pay attention to the bridges they walk across.

It is only after they return from having immersed themselves in the scenery that they finally lay their eyes on the bridge they must cross. Bridges silently return people back to the side of life.

The book, containing 20 years of research and 10 years of exploration, introduces many interesting stories entwined with bridges, crossing the borders of history and myth, past and present and real life and literature.
