The eternal light of Egypt

the long version

"The monuments of Ancient Egypt have been photographed over and over again, but never as in these wonderfully dark, edgy, atmospheric images. Using infra-red film, they hint at the transience of all those who stand in the monuments' shadows." "Complemented by quotations from a range of sources, The Eternal Light of Egypt is both a meditation and a rare, lyrical work which invites us to revisit Egypt's enduring legacy to the imagination."--BOOK JACKET.
