        Von Anderswo und anderen Orten

        by Anselm Pahnke, Sönke Schmidt

        “Von Anderswo und anderen Orten” ist eine Sammlung von Farben und Klängen aus fernen Welten. Rhythmisch und harmonisch, mal leise, mal laut, aber auch dissonant. Text und Gestaltung ergeben zusammen eine Melodie, die sich für jeden anders anhört. Rhythmus und Struktur der Schrift und der Sprache selbst wirken performativ.   Dieser außergewöhnliche Reisebericht stellt die Frage, wie sich eine langjährige Reise durch die vielfältigen Kontinente dieser Welt anfühlen kann und was es mit einem Menschen macht, wenn er nach Hause zurückkehrt. Welcher Blick auf die westliche Gesellschaft entsteht und mit welchen Sehnsüchten, Ängsten und Erwartungen die Gesellschaft womöglich zurückschaut. Wie es ist, auf sich allein gestellt zu sein und wie es ist, Menschen kennenzulernen, die ganz anders leben als man selbst. Geschildert aus der Perspektive des jungen Anselms, vom Fahrrad aus.   Konzipiert und gestaltet wurde “Von Anderswo und anderen Orten” von dem Kreativen Sönke Schmidt. Statt einer klassischen Lektüre will er durch die Wechselwirkung von Text und Gestaltung ein Erlebnis für die Lesenden schaffen. Ohne strenges Raster möchte dieses Buch entdeckt werden, nicht so sehr mit dem Verstand, umso mehr mit dem Herzen.Dieses Buch erzählt die Geschichte des erfolgreichen Kino-Dokumentarfilm "Anderswo. Allein in Afrika" weiter. Der Film sammelte über 100.000 Zuschauer, gewannt den Gilde Filmpreis für den besten Dokumentarfilm 2019 und läuft aktuell auf Netflix.  Es wird hochwertig produziert und voraussichtlich ab Anfang Dezember 2020 verfügbar sein. Die 1. Auflage wird von AVALIA STUDIOS im Eigenverlag herausgegeben.

        Asia

        Sketched Journeys

        by Salvatore Santuccio

        Through the colors captured live by the author, the book is a journey from Istanbul to Beijing that becomes a path of knowledge of a still far and brand new world. Asia is a lived experience impressed on paper with drawings soaked with the smell of spices, the smog of thousands cars, the sandy wind of the desert, or the Nepalese incense smokes. And the scene is made lively and moving by the people, whose clothes, kindness and traditions hide years of history.

        Sketched Journeys

        by Salvatore Santuccio

        A “circumnavigation” of the Mediterrean Sea along its coastlines, which recounts peoples, landscapes and colours, but also literatures and cultures which built the treasure of this sea and of the lands around it. The journey starts from Naples and moves towards West, in a tour covering all the coast and ending in Sicily, among places which are different and yet fraternal, voices which are far and yet expressions of the same vital bond with the sea.

        by Kirschner, Philipp/Weinkauf, Bernd

        Ground Floor

        Where do you have to go to find yourself?

        by Camilla Costa (writer) / Guilherme Athayde (illustrator)

        Starting from the question “Where do you have to go to find yourself”, GROUND FLOOR is a gorgeously illustrated book that reflects on the act of moving and leaving a home. The illustrations by Gui Athayde depict a person, or a body, in transition, with sparse poetic text by Camilla Costa, print in both English and Portuguese. Here physical movement is grounded by internal stasis; or longing for a home that once was. The illustrations consume the pages in blues and reds, or sometimes get stripped back to leave only the text hand lettered and running parallel in both languages. MEET THE AUTHOR: Guy Athayde will be signning books during the Frankfurt Buchmesse:21.10.2023 | 16:00 - 16:40 h CEST@ Booth 4.1/B85

        Acqua Alta

        The adventures of a little tourist in the fantastic Venezia, a silent comic book

        by Nik Neves (author)

        Acqua Alta is a silent comic book created during a trip to Venice, where the author Nik Neves drew the places he wandered through. There, he imagined a little girl in the scenes, living adventures that can be enjoyed by kids, their parents and everybody that likes Venice and getting lost while traveling. The little character detaches herself from her tourist group and wanders through less touristic places in The Floating City: the "Calle della Morte," a mysterious palace, cruise ships, a dead dove in the center of the Campo. The second edition of Acqua Alta will premiere at the International Frankfurt Book Fair. It includes a presentation in portuguese/english by the author, is printed in two special colors (petrol green and brick red) on special paper, has patterned endpapers, handmade bookbinding and carton cover.

        Hammaming in the Sham

        A Journey Through the Turkish Baths of Damascus, Aleppo and Beyond

        by Richard Boggs

        Legend has it that Damascus once had 365 hammams or 'Turkish baths': one for each day of the year. Originally part of an ancient Roman tradition, hammams were absorbed by Islam to such an extent that many became almost annexes to nearby mosques. For centuries, hammams were an integral part of community life, with some 50 hammams surviving in Damascus until the 1950s. Since then, however, with the onslaught of modernization programmes and home bathrooms, many have been demolished; fewer than 20 Damascene working hammams survive today. In Hammaming in the Sham, Richard Boggs travels the length and breadth of modern Syria, documenting the traditions of bathing in Damascus, Aleppo and elsewhere, and his encounters with Syrians as they bathe. In his portrayal of life in the hammams he reveals how these ancient institutions cater for both body and soul, and through his conversations with the bathers within, he provides insights into the grass roots of contemporary Syrian society. Approximately 100 colour photographs accompany the text, portraying the traditional neighbourhoods of Damascus and Aleppo, and the almost religious feel of the hammams. The author's intimate portraits of the baths' employees and bathers show a unique side of Syria rarely exposed to the outside world.

        Spanish Peaks

        Land & Legends

        by Conger Beasley Jr , Barbara Sparks

        The Spanish Peaks stand alone some distance from the main cordillera of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, south of Pueblo, Colorado. The towering twin mountains have served as beacons for Native Americans, Spaniards, trappers, traders, travellers on the Santa Fe trail, miners, and homesteaders. "Spanish Peaks" shares the legends the mountains have inspired and tells of the peoples drawn to the peaks' shelter. Author Conger Beasley Jr and photographer Barbara Sparks portray the people who struggle to sustain their lives here and document traditional events such as the Ute Bear Dance and Holy Week among the penitentes of Huerfano Church. Beasley's vivid writing and Sparks's photographs offer tribute to a rugged, mysterious place.

        In Search of the Village Distilleries of Maramures

        A Romanian Odyssey

        by Ian Macilwain

        This photographic portrait of the Village fruit brandy distilleries of the remote inaccessible northernmost province of Romania has taken the author five years to complete. He first went to the neighbouring province of Transylvania in 1968 on a Honda 50. After a career in Psychiatry , he has specialised in the photography of Scottish malt whisky distilleries , producing several books, of which the best known is ‘Bottled History’.  He has found in Maramures a process remarkably similar to the family distilling tradition in Scotland which died out after 1820. The photographs capture the atmospheric interiors and the people who work in them.  The author tries to distil the essence of this deeply traditional place before it disappears for ever.

        In volo sulla Toscana - Flying above Tuscany

        by Guido Cozzi

        "Beautiful things, seen from above, are even more beautiful." There are several publications that tell about Tuscany from the sky: from certain heights, this land appears even more spectacular. But only this book makes use of an unprecedented point of view: that of bird's eye view, high enough to detach from the earth's crust, too low to be at high altitude, moving in that sphere that belongs to the world of birds.Using any means he has ever raised from the ground - helicopter, hot air balloon, motor glider, paraglider, ultralight, biplane -, climbing towers and chimneys, using drones, telescopic columns, wireless controlled machines, self-built gimbals and a lot of work, Guido Cozzi has created a totally new iconography of Tuscany: from above, but not too much ...
