"A moving photographic journey around the world with images of extraordinary political struggle and ordinary moments of humanity, wonder, and imagination...The book provides dual pleasure—the beauty of the photographs themselves and the resilience they so frequently depict—and how the interplay of image and text can produce a dizzying range of responses." - Publishers Weekly The alphabet book becomes a playful dimension through which to view the powerful images of master photographer Marc Riboud. The alphabets here are pointers, at once sharpening and diffusing meaning, taking us through landscapes marked by memory and history. Marc Riboud has published widely, including well known books like The Three Banners of China; Photographs from Home and Abroad; Huang Shan, Capital of Heaven; Angkor, the Serenity of Buddhism; and Marc Riboud in China. Numerous museums throughout Europe, as well as the United States, China and Japan regularly show his work. His many awards include two Overseas Press Club awards, the Time-Life Achievement, the Lucie Award, and the ICP Infinity Award.
