Namibia

Gerald Hoberman and his son Marc have produced a fascinating portrait of Namibia, a land of stark and astonishing beauty. These photographs are sheer poetry: the wondrous shapes of the Namib Desert, its dunes, gravel plains and mountains rendered in rich colors of apricot and lavender, copper and honey...a flock of flamingoes flying across Sandwich Harbour lagoon... the fog-shrouded Skeleton Coast, where many a ship has come to grief... and the diversity of Namibia's people, from the San, whose predecessors left a priceless treasury of art on rocks and cave walls, to the pastoral Himba, the eochre people who live in the rugged Kaokoveld. Namibia is a remarkable synthesis of images and words that reflect the primordial grandeur and rich variety of this extraordinary land.Hoberman, Gerald is the author of 'Namibia' with ISBN 9789991676326 and ISBN 9991676325.
