À propos du livre
Mention Ethiopia and inevitably the images conjured up are of drought, desert and famine. Beyond this media-generated stereotype however is an extraordinary country with a civilisation stretching back millennia, a unique culture and religion in the only African country never to be colonised and a natural landscape with some of Africa's most beautiful features.
This book tells the story and shows the images of a journey through the historical circuit of northern Ethiopia, revealing the hidden and remarkable treasures of this misunderstood land, including the wondrous rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the medieval castles in Gonder, the spectacular Simien Mountains and the Blue Nile Falls.
