A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Terrell S. Lester is a self-taught landscape photographer who first picked up a camera when he was thirty-two years old. In the early 1980s he began moving around the country, taking pictures wherever he went, honing his craft. In 1986, during his first trip to Maine, he visited Deer Isle, and he has lived there ever since. He has focused his lens exclusively on Maine for the last fifteen years, and his work is represented in collections around the world and by galleries throughout the United States. Terrell Lester and his wife, Ginger, are co-owners of the Terrell S. Lester Gallery in Deer Isle. This is his first book.

Elizabeth Strout is the author of the best-selling novel Amy and Isabelle. She grew up in Portland. Ann Beattie is the author of six story collections and seven novels, including Chilly Scenes of Winter and Perfect Recall. She lives in Maine and Key West. Richard Russo is the author of five novels, including Nobody's Fool and Empire Falls (set in Maine). He lives mid-coast. Richard Ford is the author of two story collections and five novels, including Independence Day (winner of the Pulitzer Prize). He lives in Maine and New Orleans.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Maine is a place that inspires lifelong devotion in visitors and residents alike. It is a place that encompasses many worlds within its boundaries--mountains and lakes, rivers and forests, a dramatic coastline--and supports a unique way of life influenced by both geography and climate. Maine: The Seasons captures the rugged beauty and spirit of Maine by taking us into its very heart, through images and words.

Featuring 127 color photographs by acclaimed landscape photographer Terrell S. Lester, and original essays by four celebrated writers--Elizabeth Strout on spring, Ann Beattie on summer, Richard Russo on autumn, and Richard Ford on winter- -Maine: The Seasons gives us a richly evocative, visually glorious appreciation of the look, the feeling, the essence, of Maine.
