Those who have never had the privilege of visiting Africa can take solace in this splendid pictorial journey across the immense and magnificent continent..

A worthy companion to Föllmi’s lovely Offerings for Humanity series, which celebrates the day-to-day spirituality of an entire continent throughout the year, Africa follows India and Homage to the Himalayas in assembling the lensman’s most spectacular pictures of this rich and diverse land.

From the deserts of Namibia to the savannah of Cameroon, from the Himba shepherds to the Peul nomads, this collection of  two hundred images takes readers on a voyage of discovery through the heart of African life and thought, revealing a mosaic of cultures and peoples with beauty and depth.
