Ver weg en op moeilijk te bereiken plekken. Dat is waar Jimmy Nelson zich meestal bevindt. De kunstenaar reist non-stop de wereld af en legt contact met inheemse volkeren die hij vastlegt in boeken als Before They Pass Away en Homage to Humanity. Maar in het voorjaar van 2020 was reizen plots onmogelijk. In plaats van het vliegtuig pakte Nelson de fiets en reed hij langs vissersdorpen, polderlandschappen en vestingstadjes. Hij ontdekte de traditionele Nederlandse dracht en realiseerde zich dat die eigenlijk net zo bijzonder is als de culturele uitingen van de Papoea’s of Maasai. Jimmy Nelson greep de pandemie aan om Nederland in beeld te brengen zoals dat niet eerder gedaan is. In zijn nieuwe boek Between the Sea and the Sky portretteert hij twintig gemeenschappen in dracht en de omgeving die hen gevormd heeft – van het Zeeuwse Axel tot het Friese Hindeloopen en van Katwijk tot Rijssen. Het boek toont een deel van de Nederlandse identiteit die bijna verdwenen en vergeten is. Als onderdompeling in de cultuur van zijn geadopteerde vaderland is Between the Sea and the Sky bovendien Jimmy Nelsons meest persoonlijke boek tot nu toe. ENG Discover Between the Sea and the Sky, an impressive coffee table book featuring 528 pages filled with unique imagery and stories from twenty different Dutch communities, captured by art photographer Jimmy Nelson.

Think of Rome and you quickly picture so many treasures from the ancient world: the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, the Forum. At its height in the 2nd century CE, the Roman Empire, reaching out from its heart in the city of Rome itself, was the most extensive political and social structure in western civilization. Still today, almost 2000 years later, we marvel at how sophisticated and grand Roman society was – and how much of ancient Rome has survived for us to see in the modern Italian metropolis. From public baths to catacombs, from the Appian Way to small frescoes and sculptures, from temples to private houses to aqueducts, Visual Explorer Guide: Ancient Rome shows the reader both the world famous and lesser known sites in the city. What emerges is both a picture of the grandeur of Antiquity, but also the last days of pagan worships, as by Rome’s final days temples were being converted into churches. Small enough to pack in your pocket, Ancient Rome is a fascinating exploration that gives the reader more than a glimpse of the grandeur of ancient Roman life

A hotspot in the North Atlantic, Iceland is one of the world’s most unusual countries. It is Europe’s second largest island but its most sparsely populated country. Sitting astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, linking the North Atlantic plate with the Eurasian plate, it is closer to Greenland than Europe. It lies just south of the Arctic Circle, but, warmed by Gulf Stream waters, has a temperate climate. It has fiery volcanoes and freezing glaciers, striking black sand beaches and hot geysers – the word geyser itself comes from Icelandic. And a geologically young landmass, Iceland is still taking shape: a volcanic eruption in 1963 caused the formation of the new island of Surtsey. Iceland is a fascinating exploration of this most beautiful island. From volcanoes and lava flows to geysers and geothermal pools, from bird life to whale-watching, from national parks, verdant valleys to inland tundra, and from how waterfalls are used for hydro-electric power to Reykjavik’s city life, the book is packed with 200 spectacular colour photographs. Presented with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Iceland is a stunning collection of images celebrating the world’s most curious island.

Four thousand years before the birth of Christ, ancient Egypt was the cradle of modern civilization. Pharaohs built great cities on the fertile banks of the River Nile, and employed thousands of labourers to create lavish tombs and temples such as Thebes and the pyramids of the Giza plateau. Today the exceptional beauty and scale of the antiquities is legendary, drawing millions of visitors to Egypt’s monuments each year. But the nation is much more than even that. From the beaches on the Red Sea to the Nile, from the markets in Cairo and Alexandria to the country’s Roman, Coptic and Sassanid history, and Arab and Ottoman culture, Egypt is spectacular. Ranging from desert monasteries to the trade on the Suez Canal, from mausoleums hidden for centuries to medieval souks to urban life today, Egypt takes the reader from the mountains to the sea, from the desert to the city, from the ancient to the modern. Featuring 200 colour photographs and captions explaining the fascinating stories behind each image, Egypt is a stunning portrait of an ancient and modern land.
