IndiaDon McCullinGebundene AusgabeIf either William Dalrymple or Salman Rushdie required a photographic companion to their writings on contemporary India, then surely it is this. Don Mc Cullin's extraordinary new collection of photographs, < I> India. Dalrymple's recent book < I> The Age of Kali captures the darker, tumultuous side of modern India, a perfect counterpoint to Rushdie's celebration of the fertile chaos of post-war India, captured in < I> The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Both visions of India are brought to graphic life by Mc Cullin, who claims that " If I had eternal life I would do eternal books about India". The book is broken down into short photographic essays, spanning three decades of Mc Cullin's visits to India. As with his now classic collection < I> Sleeping with Ghosts: A Life's Work in Photography, the images are consistently compelling, haunting and arresting. < I> India moves from the horrific and agonising pictures of the refugee crisis in Bangladesh in the early 1970s, to extraordinary scenes of poverty and devotion at the festivals which punctuate the Hindu calendar. But Mc Cullin retains his most personal and powerful images for the astonishing street life of 1990s Calcutta. Beggars, lepers, traders, the sick and the dying all stare back at us, imbued by Mc Cullin with an extraordinary aura of humanity and dignity in the midst of despair and degradation. Time and again in his notes to the images, Mc Cullin concedes his ambivalence towards a country which contains so much beauty and tranquillity, but which is also marked by poverty and suffering. But from this ambivalence emerges a truly beautiful collection of photographs. < I> India is destined to become a classic. -< I> Jerry Brotton |

Legacy in Stone: Syria Before WarKevin BubriskiGebundene AusgabeSyria Before War Gebundenes Buch A collection of 100 black-and-white photographs taken throughout Syria in 2003, documenting many important ancient sites which are now no longer there due to the still on-going Syrian civil war. Legacy in Stone: Syria Before War is a collection of 100 black-and-white photographs immortalizing the ancient monuments of Syria. Kevin Bubriski was on assignment in Syria in 2003, during the infancy of the U. S. war in neighboring Iraq. He was photographing the country's ancient monuments, as well as documenting the daily lives and ordinary human stories of its citizens. Unbeknownst to him, within the decade, a war would break out in Syria, and destroy or damage much of what he had photographed. Until the Syrian civil war in 2010, the Suq in Aleppo was considered to be the longest continuously inhabited place of commerce in the world, existing for well over two millennia. Bubriski photographed the Suq while it was still thriving, teeming with merchants and artisans. He also captured stunning, decisive images from the Dead Cities, the basilica of St. Simeon, the pilgrimage sites of Serjilla, al-Bara, Kharab Shams, Mushabak, Baqirha, Qalb Lozeh, Resafe, early Islamic sites near Raqqa, and the ancient Roman trade cities of Apamea and Palmyra. Bubriski recalls a special sense of discovery and awe being in a place of such rich history and haunting beauty. He remembers holding his breath and seeing the ruins take shape on the ground-glass of his Hasselblad camera as he gathered and preserved these sites forever in photographs. |

So faszinierend facettenreich sich das moderne Asien mit seinem breiten Spektrum höchst heterogener Kulturen dem westlichen Besucher präsentiert, so vielfältig zeigen sich auch die Interiors in diesem Band. Auf unserer Reise durch Tibet, Nepal, Indien, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Kambodscha, Singapur und Malaysia verschmelzen traditionelles Handwerk, koloniales Erbe, tropische Moderne und ultramodernes Design zu einem farbenprächtigen und animierenden Kaleidoskop asiatischer Lebensart und Wohnkultur. Zu den 46 Stationen dieser Entdeckungstour zählen u. a. traditionelle Pfahlhäuser in Myanmar, der atemberaubende Shiv-Niwas-Palast in Indien, den James Bond in Octopussy besuchte, kambodschanische Tempel, ein mondänes Hochhausapartment mit Blick auf die Skyline von Singapur, das berühmte Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, ein indigoblaues Herrenhaus aus dem 19. Jahrhundert in George Town, bekannt aus dem Film Indochine mit Catherine Deneuve, und ein tropischer Garten nach Entwürfen des sri-lankischen Architekten Geoffrey Bawa, Mitbegründer des Tropical Modernism und ein Pionier des naturnahen Bauens. |
North Korea JournalMichael PalinGebundene AusgabeGebundenes Buch T H E B O O K B E H I N D T H E H I T D O C U M E N T A R Y A glimpse of life inside the world's most secretive country, as told by Britain's best-loved travel writer. In May 2018, former Monty Python stalwart and intrepid globetrotter Michael Palin spent two weeks in the notoriously secretive Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a cut-off land without internet or phone signal, where the countryside has barely moved beyond a centuries-old peasant economy but where the cities have gleaming skyscrapers and luxurious underground train stations. His resulting documentary for Channel 5 was widely acclaimed. Now he shares his day-by-day diary of his visit, in which he describes not only what he saw - and his fleeting views of what the authorities didn't want him to see - but recounts the conversations he had with the country's inhabitants, talks candidly about his encounters with officialdom, and records his musings about a land wholly unlike any other he has ever visited - one that inspires fascination and fear in equal measure. Written with Palin's trademark warmth and wit, and illustrated with beautiful colour photographs throughout, the journal offers a rare insight into the North Korea behind the headlines. |
Die Erde bei NachtBabak TafreshiGebundene AusgabeGebundenes Buch Neumond über der Skyline von Boston, Nordlichter über einem verschneiten Wald in Lappland, die Milchstraße über den imposanten Statuen der Osterinsel, Sternspuren über einem kleinen Dorf auf Maui: ' Die Erde bei Nacht' führt von hell erleuchteten Städten in die dunkelsten und entlegensten Regionen der Erde, zu historischen Stätten des Weltkulturerbes und modernen Sternwarten. Faszinierende Aufnahmen von über vierzig Fotografen aus fünfundzwanzig Ländern fangen die weltweit schönsten Landschaften und Kulturdenkmäler vor dem Hintergrund des nächtlichen Sternenhimmels ein. Sie zeigen besondere Himmelsereignisse wie Sonnen- oder Mondfinsternisse, machen mittels Langzeitbelichtung die Bewegung von Himmelskörpern sichtbar und lassen uns an Sternschnuppenschwärmen und atmosphärischen Lichterscheinungen teilhaben. Babak Tafreshi, Gründer und Leiter der internationalen Astrofotografen-Vereinigung ' The World at Night', beschreibt die astronomischen Phänomene sowie die Technik hinter den Nachthimmelaufnahmen und macht deutlich, wie wichtig und schützenswert die natürliche Dunkelheit der Nacht ist. |
