From village huts to the neon bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, engaging and riveting images present a Vietnam where tradition still thrives in a changing social landscape, where the bonds of community and family, to ancestors and to the land, remain defining constants. We see Vietnam at work, in rice fields and on city streets, at play and in prayer, and at family and communal rituals of life and death. Vietnamese poems, prose, and proverbs dating back eight centuries evocatively underscore the continuities amidst change, while Jeffrey Hantover's lucid text offers social and cultural context to the lives so warmly portrayed. \u003ci\u003eVietnam Images\u003c\/i\u003e does not pull back from the toil and struggle of daily Vietnamese life, yet surprises with its broad embrace of a people sustained by tradition and alive to the promises of the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Hantover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1891640496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781891640490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Floating World Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.17h x 8.84w x 0.77d","brand":"Jeffrey Hantover","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445832167679,"sku":"9781891640490","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2436278f-929f-4553-9ddf-9d4e9ff34b18.jpg?v=1777220952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vietnam-images-jeffrey-hantover-9781891640490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
