{"product_id":"larry-towell-larry-towell-9781597112666","title":"Larry Towell: Afghanistan","description":"For 30 years, Afghanistan has known only war. In this volume, renowned Magnum photographer Larry Towell presents a moving and in-depth look at the country, whose citizens and landscapes are affected by conflict on a daily basis. Towell, a veteran conflict reporter, has worked in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Mexico, Palestine and Israel, as well as Afghanistan. This work, shot between 2008 and 2011, offers a tour de force examination of survival, exile, loss and recuperation. Towell shows the war from a variety of perspectives--from military camps to domestic interiors--and offers depictions of US and British soldiers, landmine victims, ordinary Afghan citizens, cityscapes and weaponry, as well as a rare series of Taliban portraits. This volume presents a facsimile of the photographer's original artist maquette, complete with his handwritten notes and stories and over 350 images, including collages. A true art object, this book conveys the complexity of the conflict, which has roots that go deep into historical and tribal grievances. Beautifully produced in a limited edition, this extraordinary object offers an important historical document on present-day Afghanistan seen through its social, political and environmental landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Towell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597112666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597112666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aperture Direct\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 15.20h x 11.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Larry Towell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989353922815,"sku":"9781597112666","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e2ad4d8-2b94-4e43-80cd-afcf23648b97.jpg?v=1683299022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/larry-towell-larry-towell-9781597112666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
