Hot on the heels (or lobster claws) of the best-selling Salvador Dali phenomenon, Les diners de Gala, Taschen presents the artist's equally surreal and sensual viticulture follow-up: The Wines of Gala. A Dalinian take on pleasures of the grape ... |

Петстотин години, побрани в по-малко от петстотин страници... Събитията в Америките от времето преди Колумб до войните за независимост от ранния ХІХ век, създаването на новите нации, икономическото и политическото им развитие и търсенето на идентичност през изтеклото столетие - това са процесите, около които професорът по история в Университета "Вандербилт" гради своя анализ.

"In a fast paced world with media focused on single, dramatic images there is the danger that extended documentary work like that of Babak Salari’s may be missed in the rush for the next great cover shot. Salari’s photographs, by contrast, require us to slow down and savour the moments he has rendered on film.

Salari’s photos form a rich, complex story told in a soft voice. It is the story of a people recounted with empathy and respect. At times, it is ... |
