Libya: An Ancient Country Looks Towards the Future by Giorgio Galanti

ISBN: 9788854406384 PUBLISHER: White Star FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 144 PUBLICATION DATE: 25.11.2011 DIMENSIONS: 305mmX245mm

DESCRIPTION: This book has a wonderful selection of photographs, accompanied by indepth texts, that trace the history of Libya, from the Phoenician-Greek domination to that of the Romans, through Italian colonisation to the Gaddafi regime and the recent events that have witnessed the population rise against Gaddafi's forty-year dictatorship. A journey through the magnificent archaeological heritage, from the prehistoric cave paintings of Acacus to the ancient Greco-Roman remains of enchanting sites such as Leptis Magna, Oea (the old Tripoli), Cyrene and Sabratha. But it is also a stunning photographic reportage of the spectacular endless horizons of the Sahara: the volcanic rocks, the yellow ocher sand, white oases, blue lakes, the evocative alleys of Ghadames and the beautiful palm groves of Ghat. This is an enthralling book dedicated to both Libya yesterday and that of today for inquisitive and discerning readers, eager to be enchanted by the beautiful images of a country of many faces but also to explore in greater depth its complex history.
