Paolo Novaresio Book order

This book represents months of work of planning and in the field, but above all it is a tribute to the eternal beauty of Africa; the photographs and text 'steal' from the peoples of the Omo a fragment of their mystery and truth. But with delicacy and respect. By examining a small region in the heart of the continent, the books attempts to trace the roots of remotest Africa; the cradle of man, where ancestral bonds with nature still exist. It is a place where the link with the dark side of existence is not hidden, as happens in the West, but exhibited. By means of his camera and his pen, in this book the author has encapsulated long years of study of the most interesting peoples and ethnic groups in Africa. Centered around a series of extraordinary photographs, the book is a sort of reportage from the edge of the world, in search of vanishing Africa.

A fascinating journey into the Sahara Desert from Mauritania to the Red Sea, guided by superb photographs that demonstrate the contrasts of this land - hostile mountains that give way to dunes of fine sand, vast expanse of stony ground and formations of white chalk, and the hidden beauty of rock painting and graffiti. Immense areas in which Nature has created forms and colors that give life to landscapes of astounding beauty, and men and women who made the desert their home, like Tuareg, the Mauri and the Peul Bororo.
