Cuba - A Voyage in Images

New York: Rizzoli, 1997. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket. A very large format volume. Cuba is a land of mystery, at once antique and avant-garde, closed and cosmopolitan, a country of layers and contrasts. This luxurious book offers a look at a way of life that may soon disappear. A sharp observer, photographer Eddy Kohli captures the spirit of the people, work, land, and food in brilliant colour. Everyday images - light shining luminous thrugh the veins of a stretched tobacco leaf, the tatooed trails of a man's weathered face - become familiar icons of this foreign place. The impressionistic photographic vision of this lovely country is complemented by a poetic essay about a journalist who, in his visits to Cuba, is given profound insight into the true meaning of life. Perhaps that meaning can be glimpsed in these pages. PLEASE NOTE: A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.4 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 5. First Edition. Hard Cover.
