African Ark (2nd Edition)
von Carol Beckwith (Fotos), Angela Fisher (Fotos) & Graham Hancock (Text)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 2. Auflage, 320 Seiten,
244 Farb- & 84 Schwarzweißillustrationen The Harvill Press (UK),
Oktober 1996 (1990), ISBN 1-86046-292-8
Synopsis: "The region of Ethiopia and
its surrounding countries - the Horn of Africa - is known today as a land of famine and war, but it is also
the last secret kingdom of the world, a land of mystery and fierce beauty. Cut off by soaring mountain
ranges, burning lava deserts, unexplored wildernesses, and an isolated Indian Ocean coastline, the Horn of
Africa is a great Ark that has, for centuries, sheltered an astonishing variety of societies. From the
sophisticated cultures of the Christian highlands and the Islamic coast to the proud nomads of the Ogaden
desert and the primitive tribes of the last wildernesses of the continient, the region is a true microcosm
of Africa and a time capsule in which we can see many of the stages of the development of modern culture.
Inspired by deep knowledge and love of the region, this magnificent book from two of the world's outstanding
photographers, Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher, is the record of a five-year journey of discovery. Matching
the eloquence of the photographs is a highly informative and readable text by Graham Hancock, a longtime
observer of life in the region. Maps and line drawings of artifacts and architecture make African Ark
a true celebration of the lives of those who still inhabit the cradle of mankind."

The Beauty of Addis Ababa
von Graham Hancock (Text), Mohamed Amin (Fotos) & Duncan Willetts (Fotos)
Verleger: "Addis Ababa is a
surprisingly attractive city. Situated at the foothills of the Entoto Mountain, the Ethiopian capital
sprawls delightfully across many hillsides and gullies cut through by sparkling streams. Abundant eucalyptus
trees and a crisp and clear atmosphere make the city exceptionally pleasant to visit and explore. It has
bracing, pinescented resorts. Its cosy espresso bars and patisseries are reminiscent of Venice and other
Mediterranean hideouts. Addis Ababa's outdoor markets are a colourful reminder of Ethiopia's traditional
ways of life. But skyscrapers, elegant villas, functional bungalows, flats and condominiums stud them,
gleaming in their marble and anodized aluminium. The people, their bursts of music from cafés and shops,
the pungent aromas from spicy cooking, from coffee and frankincense, from a unique Ethiopian pastiche and
from an engaging architecture - and all these and more - are as varied as the rest of Addis Ababa. A city
whose grace is beyond compare. A capital at peace."

The Beauty of Historic Ethiopia
von Graham Hancock (Text), Mohamed Amin (Fotos) & Duncan Willetts (Fotos)
Verleger: "Ethiopia is truly a land
of discovery - a land in which mysterious and extraordinary history blends charmingly with latter-day
splendour, brilliance and beauty. The country invites you to marvel at the spectacular 2,000-year-old
obelisks at Axum - the ancient capital - carved out of single pieces of granite, weighing hundreds of tonnes
and towering more than seventy feet, all part of a tradition of monolithic art which can be seen in other
towns, such as Lalibela. The countryside is no less intriguing. There are all forms of vegetation, from
desert to rainforest, all physical reliefs, from the scariest bowls below sea level to the most dazzling
eminences, cut with a network of rivers and studded with a string of lakes, from one of which, the Tana, the
celebrated Blue Nile."

Bless Ethiopia
von Kazuyoshi Nomachi, Einführung von Richard Pankhurst
Synopsis: "Ethiopia is a vast country
of remarkable scenic beauty. The vivid contrast in its geographical environment, from fertile plains to
hostile scrublands, has produced remarkable differences in lifestyles. Many groups of people make their
homes in this little known land, speaking 80 different languages, practicing a variety of religions and
maintaining a diversity of cultures. The lowlands are a sea of Islam, the highlands an island of
Christianity religions existing side by side with age-old rituals unique to the various peoples of Ethiopia.
From the beauty of Labilela's rock churches to the traditional ceremonies of the people of the Omo Valley,
this book reveals the hidden face of this striking, mysterious land. Photographer Kazuyoshi Nomachi captures
the unique mosaic of Ethiopia as it was meant to be experienced, from the traditions of an ancient people to
the daily chores of survival. Bless Ethiopia represents the mystique of an inaccessible land, torn by
political upheavals and harsh climate that limits travel. Nomachi transcends these traditional barriers to
bring the reader in tune with the pulse of today's Ethiopia, focusing on adherents of the Ethiopian Orthodox
Church. In this land of rugged extremes, diversity abounds both geographically and culturally. Having lived
in Ethiopia and championed her cause for much of his adult life, Professor Richard Pankhurst in his
introduction brings profound expertise to this vivid and informative look at Ethiopia. His text evokes the
spirit of a lost land, and helps the reader comprehend what few outsiders are privileged to
experience."

Ethiopia Photographed Original Photographs from
1860 to 1936
Verleger: "Following the very
successful Ethiopia Engraved, an illustrated book of engravings by foreign travellers from 1681 to
1900, Ethiopia Photographed covers the period from the inception of photography in the country up to
the Italian Fascist invasion in 1936. The people, terrain, buildings and rulers of Ethiopia - such as
Emperor Menelik, Lej Iyasu and Emperor Haile Selassie - make it a highly photogenic country, as this
lavishly illustrated book reveals. Situated in lofty, often inaccessible mountains between the Red Sea and
the Blue Nile, and extending far into the Horn of Africa, it is a complex and mysterious country which has
always exercised an extraordinary fascination for the outside world. The book begins with an introduction
which gives a brief history of Ethiopia in this period, and describes the role of photography at this
time."

Verleger: "Riven by deep and
stupendous gorges, crowned by high and magnificent mountains, necklaced by a chain of lakes, watered by
majestic rivers, studded with burning deserts and great mountains and escarpments that plunge down to
rolling savannahs, Ethiopia is a land of incomparable beauty. But it is not simply physical beauty which
characterise this land where the Blue Nile has carved one of the world's greatest gorges. Ethiopia's ancient
and medieval monuments, its proud and colourful cultures, and its varied and often unique wildlife also set
it apart from all else. Ethiopia, bisected through its middle by the scar of the Great Rift Valley, extends
to the beginning of time - a land that claims a history stretching back to the Old Testament. A Journey
through Ethiopia is an odyssey of discovery - from the vast spread of Lake Tana, source of the Blue
Nile in the northern highlands, to the relics of Axum, seat of Sheba's legendary empire... from the
scorching inferno of the Danakil Depression, one of the world's lowest points, to the high wonders of the
Simien and Bale Mountains and its untouched, game-filled wildernesses in its remote south. And here the
incredible beauty of its cultures, landscapes, monuments, architecture, wildlife and its rich and colourful
history are brought to unforgettable life through the cameras of Mohamed Amin and Duncan Willetts and
Alastair Matheson's text."
