Havana

Meer over het boek

Few cities in the world evoke for Americans the kind of mystery and exotic appeal of Havana. Always enigmatic, and hidden for forty years behind a veil of political intrigue, it is hard to believe that few Americans have visited this city just a day's boat ride away from our own shores. In Havana (Prestel), award-winning photographer Hans Engels applies a keen eye and ahnost two decades of experience to capture a city that mixes ebullience with decay, modemity with colonialism. It is a city of sad and breathtaking beauty, and one whose brilliantly diverse architecture says much about its social and political history.
