Sanders, Sarite
Eternal Light of Egypt

A Photographic Journey. Introduced by Dorothea Arnold.

For centuries visitors have been awed by ancient Egypts monuments, seeing in them testimony to a mysterious past. With stunning photography complemented by quotations from a range of textual sources, "The Eternal Light of Egypt" speaks to that testimony with a fresh, exploratory voice. Sarite Sanderss haunting black-and-white photographs bring the enigmatic narrative of Egypts ancient monuments into sharp relief, forcing us to see pyramids, statues, or the breathtaking architectural sweep of temples once again for the first time, in an austere and unscripted visual poetry. With over 100 photographs, this book is both a meditation and a rare, lyrical work, inviting the observer to revisit and engage with Egypts most enduring legacy to the imagination. 219 Seiten mit zahlreichen Abb., Großformat, gebunden (Thames & Hudson 2008) leichte Lagerspuren/mint
