Pilgrimage
The authors of Beaches take a breathtaking photographic journey to places that have the ineffable power to revive and inspire the human spirit. We are transported to the severe beauty of Richard Misrach's desert, the haunting moodiness of Joel Meyerowitz's seascape, the twisted and searing reds of Eliot Porter's sandstone caves. Gideon Bosker and Lena Lencek pair the images with poetry and reflections on the history and nature of pilgrimage. At the back of the book, they include a wish list of far-flung outposts from which to embark on a pilgrimage of one's own. With 90 full-color photographs of the most evocative and soul-stirring spots on earth, Pilgrimage is both a celebration of the spiritual trek and a destination of note in itself.

The Power and Passion of Piligrimage
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Put simply, Pilgrimage: The Spirit of Place is visual morphine for the eye and the soul, a magisterial tribute to the planet's extraordinary diversity and the world-class photographers who have captured the full breadth of its impact through the kaleidoscope of chrome and critical viewing. Once again, Lencek and Bosker offer a culturally illuminating chronicle that explains the origins of travel and the allure of destinations that have drawn travelers to sites that would put time, destiny, and the grand scheme of nature and man in a healthier perspective. This is an armchair peregrination that will take every reader to a better place.
