Sacred Festivals (MQ Publications, London) - Book Club Association “Choice”
Book Description: Author and photographer Jeremy Hunter leads the reader on an inspired journey across the world to record extraordinary festivals, rituals and celebrations in more than 45 countries across 5 continents. Against a backdrop of some of the world's most stunning landscapes, the human aspect of these extraordinary ceremonies is spectacularly captured and highlights the world’s wide diversity of cultures. Each photograph captures for posterity many wonderful ceremonies that have remained unchanged for hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of years - allowed to remain so, forgotten or passed by, unnoticed by the world at large. Sadly these culturally and spiritually rich occasions are in danger of dying out. Reviews: “Jeremy Hunter’s stunning photos of ancient celebrations from around the world” - SUNDAY EXPRESS “From sacred festivals in Burma and Tibet to the world’s largest gathering in India - Jeremy Hunter has been to places most of us have only dreamed of” - PEOPLE AND PLANET “A glimpse of festivities from around the world. The vibrant pictures help to give an insight into the traditions of different cultures” - DAILY EXPRESS “An impressive photographic chronicle of worship from around the world - from Guatemala to Indonesia” - BIRMINGHAM POST “Even in these secular, cynical times, colourful joyous festivals take place in every corner of the globe, proving, perhaps, that there is indeed more to life” - FOOD AND TRAVEL |
