Product Description

Product Description

The Iron Curtain is long gone, Germany is unified and the borders of the European Union continue to expand, yet the line between east and west in Europe still remains visible. Jens Olof Lasthein's book is a visual journey from the White Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south - powerful tales of a boundary in transition.'The Yalta Agreement gave the easternmost part of Czechoslovakia to the Soviet Union. Stolnitsy was split down the middle, right over the main street, with barbed wire, mine fields and a guard tower. And that's how it remains when I come to visit Alisa. The minefields are gone and the old guard tower stands empty, but the cruel wire fence is still there, patrolled now by Ukrainian border guards on this side and Slovakian EU soldiers on the other. So when Alisa wants to have a cup of coffee with her nearest neighbour, they stand on either side, giving the wire a respectful distance, shouting and gesticulating, both of them speaking Hungarian. (Jens Lastehein, diary extract from the book).

5.0 out of 5 stars amazingly poetic, 9 Jun 2009
By B (UK) - See all my reviews
Jens Lasthein's White Sea Black Sea is so much more than just a coffee table book. It's poetic, beautiful, interesting and witty too. This guy is so talented - manages to capture a whole story in a single snapshot. Wow!

(REAL NAME)   
this is a very fine book with very fine prints.
the travel is very interesting as well the beautiful panoramic shots.
the feeling is of a high empathy with the people photographed.
highly recommended and even not expensive at all for its quality!
