About the Item

Geniale Amerique (Great America), French book by Editions PML, 1988. America is a rich and immense land of incredible beauty, sometimes still primitive; a complex continent in complete evolution, but whose soul remains essentially American. Only an exhaustive study could fully capture the spirit of America, a melting pot of diverse populations and changing landscapes, and the multiple facets of its cultural heritage. Geniale Amerique is a book illustrated with more than four hundred color, vibrant, and evocative photographs; the text is poetic and informative, spiced with exciting tales or legends and humorous anecdotes. The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, the fabulous Disneyland of Florida, and the Statue of Liberty are the most frequent and famous tourist places. But this vast and diverse continent contains many other magical places whose magnificence and glamor surprise the amazed visitor, stimulate their imagination, and pique their curiosity. Such places would still be secret gems if Geniale Amerique had not unearthed them. The delicate palette of pastel colors of the Arizona deserts, the dazzling winter mornings of the Midwest, the labyrinth of the swamps of the Florida Everglades, or even a small farm nestled in the gentle hills of Vermont, the smiling faces of young Hawaiian beauties and their welcome "aloha," the Eskimos of Alaska snuggled in their furs, the ghost towns of the Wild West, the crazy streets of New York, everything comes alive with the breath of life exhaled by Geniale Amerique. In this book, the United States is portrayed in a fascinating and captivating way. This is an extraordinary work worthy of its subject. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. Features: Title: Geniale Amerique. Author: Collective of authors. Hardcover book with dust jacket Language: French. More than 400 full-color photographs and illustrations with captions. 400 pages. Dimensions: 10.25 in x 12.19 in (26 x 31 cm). Published in 1988 by Editions PML. The book is in good condition, with minor wear due to regular reading. The dust jacket has some tape fixing.
