By Sarite Sanders

Subjects: Antiquities, Egypt, history, Pictorial works, Monuments, Egypt, description and travel

Description: "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.
