Far - Near - Jens Olof Lasthein
KORTE INHOUD
A road trip exploring Europe and Europeans from a different perspective – diagonally from the center to the periphery. It is a story told in 96 panoramic photographs.
"I grew up in a westerly wind. It swept in from the sea, scouring the flat landscape where I lived. Any solitary, unprotected trees grew sideways, bowed down in an unequal battle against the relentless wind. It was as far from the capital as you could get, a land on the edge of Europe. My home dialect was never one you heard on the television, and it always met with indulgent smiles from people in the big city. If they understood what we were saying in the first place.
For this book, I travelled to the farthest-flung corners of Europe, as far from the centre as I could get—Iceland in the northwest, the northern Ural Mountains in the northeast, the Caucasus in the southeast, Portugal in the southwest—and I was amazed there, and felt at home. " - Jens Olof Lasthein

Een mooi beeldverslag van de 'periferie' (de uithoeken), in een rijkelijke hoeveelheid bladvullende foto's, waarbij je je afwisselend in IJsland, Belarus en Portugal bevindt. Sterke foto's van een goede fotograaf, maar dit exemplaar is wel in wat mindere staat omdat het papier best wat 'kromming' heeft. Dit doet echter geen afbreuk aan de kwaliteit van de beelden en is misschien te verhelpen door het boek een tijdje onder iets zwaars te leggen.
