The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
Ernesto Bazan (b. 1959, Sicily) made his first trip to Cuba in 1992 and immediately fell in love with the country and its people. His visceral connection to Cuba, an island nation which reminded him of his childhood growing up on the island of Sicily, would inspire a photographic exploration that would last 25 years. Photography critic Vicki Goldberg writes: “[Bazan’s] knowledge of the island is as profound as a native’s, his emotional connection as strong as a lover’s, and his vision a camera vision, which is not at all the same as the unaided human’s eye.”
25 De Noviembre, Bazan’s fourth monograph about Cuba, is a powerful and poignant photographic portrait of the island and its people in the days, months and years following the death of Fidel Castro on November 25, 2016. This deeply personal book documents Bazan’s emotional return journey to his adopted, spiritual home following ten years of painful exile. On January 6, 2006, Bazan was (banned) forced out from the country when he refused to give up teaching his workshops. He left Cuba with his wife, Sissy, and their twin boys Pietro and Stefano, on July 4, 2016, ironically Independence Day in the US.
The book includes color photographs of found objects and collaged images that Bazan collected while walking the streets of Havana. The spread above featured in the opening pages of the book sets the tone. To the left is Sissy’s grandfather’s green military cap, a symbol of the Cuban Revolution; to the right, is a flattened Coca-Cola bottle, an item unavailable for purchase in Cuba and representing President Barack Obama’s December 2014 reinstatement of full diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba.
Peppered throughout the book are quotes from Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, Cuban authors Virgilio Piñera, Heberto Padilla, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Leonardo Padura, and Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rose Kennedy, the widow of Bobby Kennedy. The quotes, which reference topics such as censorship, government control, complicity, fear, shame and regret provide a running color commentary alongside the images that brings another dimension to the monograph.
