Product Description
Product Description
India is rapidly becoming one of the pre-eminent leaders of the twenty-first century. For more than a decade, Eric Meola has returned repeatedly to India, photographing the people, temples, landscapes, architecture, celebrations, and art of this uniquely exuberant and incredibly diverse country. Meola's journeys took him from the Himalayas and monasteries in the North to the temples of Tamil Nadu in the South, from the color and pageantry of Rajasthan in the West to the tea plantations of Darjeeling in the East. Over 200 photographs (edited from more than 25,000 images) will fill this beautifully printed, large-format book. The photographs will be accompanied by dozens of essays, stories, and poems by contemporary and classical Indian writers.

I bought this book because very interested in everything related to India, and in particular history, traditions and religions. Reviews were all very good, so maybe I had too great expectations... In my opinion this book represents a good documentary introduction to India, but lacks something if you're looking for an innovative or original interpretation of this beautiful country.
Pictures are quite good, but too often they look like "seen before" images.
India is so spectacular in its variety, its different moods and colors, that sometimes western travellers risk to miss its deep roots, its hidden soul.
By a technical and artistic point of view, I hope I'm not alone to consider debatable the actual trend to print photographs with unreal, super bright colors. Far from adding any charme, "boosted" colors cannot help a weak image, but they could render false and dull a good one.
For those interested in a more intimistic and reflective approach to India I'd suggest "India" by Don McCullin, "Children of Bombay" by Dario Mitidieri or the beatiful works by Raghu Ray

A beautiful book. High quality construction, paper & cover. The photos, subjects, quantity and the quality are superb; letting your imagination as a previous visitor to India reflect on similar that you have encountered. Short written sections. Excellent!
Format:Hardcover
This is a fabulous coffee table book filled with some of the most beautiful images of India you are ever likely to see. The colour is vibrant and the close up photographs of people and objects are stunning in their detail. The sense of India is further captured by the passages from a variety of writers whose words sometimes fit beautifully with a particular photograph and at others just paint an image of their own. If you have never been to India before it will make you want to jump on the next plane. If you have you will want to go back again very soon.
