Rio

Meer over het boek

Rio de Janeiro is a city sculptured in space. Its horizontal dimensions and hills provide a unique vertical perspective. Every segment of the landscape is different: on the ocean side of the city, uncountable islands reflect the sun; the other side is bounded by virgin jungle with its lush greenery. Winding through the midst of all this, the city, with its avenues and skyscrapers. The fine photographs that accompany this volume offer a living, optimistic image of the "Capital of Happiness", the sunwashed city of Carnival, built around the most beautiful Bay in the world.
