Sobre este item
This is a first edition of The Tibetans, by the Canadian photographer and academic Art Perry.
It is a moving collection of photographs of a culture under siege. More than 150 black and white photographs record every aspect of Tibetan life, from monks meditating surrounded by candles made of Yak wax to peasant people to landscapes.
Kirkus Review: "Perry's black-and-white photographs of the Tibetan people have an instinctive freshness that casually takes in an expression or a mood, and his shots around and about the city of Lhasa are as intimate as a walking tour (the view from a balcony on the Potala is so far beyond magnificent it is comical). His landscape images have a formal, composed quality near overwhelmed by the prodigious sweeps, where the wind hurries over the ground, snapping at prayer flags. The text, on the other hand, is appalling. It swings between the exquisitely meaningless (``a distant land that points to a time of lost innocence'') to a spit-flecked, bilious rant against the Chinese occupation that is endless and over the top, a concussive hatred making no effort to differentiate between the Chinese government and the Chinese people. Perry may rightly view the occupation of Tibet as a murderous travesty, but sneering comments like ``Old Lhasa is quickly becoming a new Chinatown'' do more harm than service to the Tibetan cause."
9 1/4" x 12 1/4".
154 pages. Plain black covers with gold lettering on the spine.
No dust jacket. There are a couple of tiny white marks on the back cover.
But this book has not been read, or even opened. It is in pristine condition.
