Dalla Grande Muraglia cinese alle cime innevate dell'Himalaya, dalle città affollate alle campagne, questo volume dipinge un ritratto incisivo della Cina, Paese dagli immensi spazi e dalle molte battaglie vinte contro le avversità, avvalendosi di un linguaggio conciso e brillante e di immagini vivide e raffinate. In questo antico territorio si svela una nuova prospettiva di vita, tutta rivolta al futuro. Le catene montuose che si dipanano senza soluzione di continuità sono la spina dorsale della terra cinese, i suoi tortuosi corsi d'acqua le vene e le arterie che penetrano e attraversano l'intero Paese. I villaggi in sperdute regioni montuose e vallate remote incarnano la semplicità e la dignità dei discendenti dell'Imperatore Giallo, mentre la foresta di grattacieli che svettano nel cielo rivela la rapida ascesa del Dragone dell'Est. Le oltre duecento illustrazioni inedite del libro sono opera di fotografi cinesi, mentre i testi di commento sono stati redatti da alcuni importanti ricercatori universitari di Pechino; in questo modo la Cina sarà raccontata "dal di dentro" e, grazie ai permessi speciali accordati, queste pagine offriranno per la prima volta al lettore la libertà di apprezzare dal cielo i tesori e le bellezze di uno dei più grandi Paesi del mondo.

This superb photographic tableau showcases the kaleidoscope of colors and textures of China–as seen from above–with all the artistic insight and technical innovation worthy of this ancient and ever-fascinating country. Hundreds of specially commissioned photographs explore every nook and cranny of this vast country bringing readers a wealth of perspectives on the country’s immense and diverse range of sights. Depicting the varied topographies of China’s landscape as well as millennia-old monuments and modern architecture, the many facets of China come alive in this handsome volume. Densely populated cities contrast with the forests and brilliant lakes of Sichuan, the Himalayan peaks, and the deserts and Blue Mountains of Xinjiang. From Zhenghou and its archaeological riches to the majesty of the Great Wall of China, these images present unexpected views of familiar landmarks as well as reveal obscure sights that readers would never experience without the benefit of these dramatic pictures. This collection of photographs presents China, with its unique terrain, monuments, and people, as a veritable masterpiece.
