Passage to Burma

En savoir plus sur le livre

Experience the enchanting beauty of a country in transition, where magic permeates the sights, sounds, and smells, overshadowing modernity. For over a decade, Scott Stulberg has journeyed to Burma (Myanmar) to capture this essence through his lens. His collection showcases the heart and soul of this magnificent land. Explore Bagan, home to two thousand pagodas carved from native rock, spanning an area one-sixth the size of Washington, DC. Discover Mandalay, a captivating blend of calm and chaos that delights the eye. Inle Lake reveals fishermen skillfully navigating their long boats, their legs wrapped around paddles, while small villages cling to the water's edge. Mrauk, a remote gem, sees few tourists, making it an intriguing escape. Yangon (formerly Rangoon) retains its colonial charm along shady avenues, reflecting its rich history. Throughout this diverse country, Buddhist monks in saffron robes embody warmth and openness, symbolizing the spirit of Burma. This second edition features new photographs from Stulberg’s recent travels, enhancing the visual journey through this remarkable destination. As Rudyard Kipling noted, “This is Burma. It is quite unlike any place you know about.”
