Impressions from marrkech
Richly decorated portals between plain, red facades flank the colourful goings-on in the medina of Marrakech. Donkey-cart drivers, pedestrians, scooter riders and cyclists swarm through the narrow streets in traditional garments, while a mixture of oriental scents and sounds wafts over the scenery.
- This atmospheric photo book takes the reader on a journey through the rich diversity of Marrakech, walking in the footsteps of Celia. The protagonist of the accompanying narrative discovers not only genuine treasures behind the scenes of the city but also a whole new world that will change her life forever:
'The sight that met her in the medina made the wide, chaotic ring road outside the city ramparts seem like a well-ordered system in comparison. Pedestrians, men with handcarts, cyclists, carriages and scooters pushed passed one another in a wild tangle of motion and were eventually swallowed up by narrow, overcrowded side streets stretching into the unknown between rows of low, reddish brown buildings…'
Celia's dreams of becoming a Hollywood star have been shattered. Her agent has terminated her contract, and she is forced to sell her small house in Beverly Hills. When shortly afterwards her mother dies, Celia travels to Marrakech to sell the townhouse she has inherited. But little does she know, the magic of the city and her encounter with Hafid are about to change her life forever…
An emotional photo book.
BOOKS FROM THE CITY IMPRESSIONS COLLECTION:
Unlike many illustrated books about culture and art history that are structured chronologically, our books do not offer basic knowledge in the form of dates, tables and historical background. Our primary objective is to present a series of exceptional photographs and impressions that can be experienced sensually, thereby making the experience of reading an illustrated book an emotional one.
The subtle stories that accompany the images feature travellers whose lives are changed during their stay in each city.
