Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey. Throughout their journeys Roland
and Sabrina photographed and wrote about what they saw. This
breathtaking account of their travels features nearly 500 color
images that capture, with sensitivity, curiosity, and delight, the
people they met and the landscapes they traversed. Organized into
sections that focus on particular regions, the book takes readers
to the monasteries and villages of China, the tents of Mongolian
nomads, and the black rocks of northern Pakistan. Many of their
images are indelible studies of faces: the weathered faces of
Kazakhstani men, their heads wrapped in turbans; or the shy veiled
face of an Iranian mother nursing her child atop a camel as she
travels from summer pastures to the Persian Gulf. Throughout the
book the Michauds' eloquent commentary gives context to these
remarkable images and offers their uniquely humane perspective
on what it means to encounter incredible beauty, harsh landscapes,
and unfamiliar surroundings. Best of all, it describes the pleasures
of meeting people whose joys, sorrows, and struggles we all share.« less
