Englisch/Deutsch/Französisch/Spanisch/Chinesisch. Foreword by Roberto Dutesco. Translations by Kurt Rehkopf, Christèle Jany, Claude Checconi, Pablo Alvarez Ellacuria, Romina Russo Lais and Schmellenkamp Communications GmbH.

The New York-based photographer Roberto Dutesco captured the beauty and elegance of a unique animal species. Sable Island, a small island off the coast of eastern Canada is the site of some 500 wild horses, 500 shipwrecks and 500 years of known history. Never settled, the island, also known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," has seen temporary occupation by shipwrecked sailors, transported convicts, pirates and wreckers. The wild horses, named for the island they inhabit, abandoned there long ago or cast ashore from wrecks, are now the only terrestrial mammals on Sable Island. Roberto Dutesco's twenty years' documentation of Sable Island comes as a stunning volume of photographs, an unprecedented collection of extraordinary moments in a place uninhabited by humans, where the wild horses run free, unaware and unafraid of an. Dutesco portrays the wild beauty of these horses as well as the barren and unspoiled quality of the island, creating an immersive photographic memoir that captures the soul and spirit. 343 Seiten, überwiegend Farb- und s/w-Abb., Großformat 29 x 37 cm, Leinen (teNeues 2014) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
