mask/hid the ugly side of sth

Can you suggest a better way of expressing the same thing in the sentence:

It would be the travel book that he himself would enjoy reading: without epical descriptions of buildings and landscapes, without elaborations of historical facts and masking the ugly and bad side.

Perhaps: and without avoiding the ugly and the bad. I'd say epic is a more frequent version of epical (close to 1,000 more frequent at Yahoo)
