MAURITIUS, das grüne Eiland, die Heimat der „Blauen Mauritius“, erhebt sich wie ein schwimmender Garten über dem Meeresspiegel des Indischen Ozeans. Die Zuckerinsel mit ihren bizarr zerklüfteten Gebirgen, türkisblauen Lagunen und kilometerlangen Stränden ist ein Traumreiseziel. Hier leben Inder, Kreolen, Europäer und Chinesen. Die Bewohner und ihre Feste machen Mauritius zu einer kulturellen Weltreise. Der weltbekannte Photograph erzählt in seinen Bildern von der Einzigartigkeit dieser Insel. Seine Frau Marion beschreibt in einem einfühlsamen Essay die Insulaner sowie Ihre Geschichte und Kultur. Dieser Bildband ist ein optisches und informatives Dokument der Superlative - photographiert zu Lande, aus der Luft und unter Wasser.
