{"product_id":"korea-magnum-photos-9780393067743","title":"Korea: As Seen by Magnum Photographers","description":"South Korea, with its craggy hillsides, gnarled trees, and ancient temples, is steeped in tradition yet, at the same time, is thoroughly modern--the tenth-ranking industrial power in the world. Its capital city, Seoul, is one of the most populous cities in the world and home to such cutting-edge buildings as the Samsung Tower Palace.The beautiful landscape and day-to-day details of life in South Korea are depicted here in images taken by the photographers of Magnum--the famed cooperative whose members are among the greatest photographers of our time. Here we see a rich culture that both respects a dynamic cultural history and celebrates the latest trends in fashion, technology, and architecture. These extraordinary photographs are set in their historical context by an insightful text by historian Bruce Cumings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Magnum Photos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393067742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393067743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
