| Title: A Day in Kashi |
| Author: Christiane Etchezaharreta and Severine Dabadie |
| Edition Year: 2006 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Well travelled and well versed in the ways of the world, Severine Dabadie and her long-time friend Christiane Etchezaharreta finally discovered a new reality in Varanasi, or Kashi, as they so lovingly dub it. Inspired by the antiquity they decided to produce a book that would make Varanasi available to all. Coming from the Basque Country, both have travelled widely together, Severine with her ever-ready camera and Christiane with her flowing pen. This is their first attempt at a full-scale book, but they assure us that there may be more to come. Severine Dabadie, though, has over the past ten years displayed her photographs in many exhibitions. |

| Title: Returning...An Indian Odyssey |
| Author: Ilaa Dev Pal |
| Edition Year: 2006 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Ilaa Dev Pal has created a unique form of emotional and spiritual percipation. To do this she has used both her considerable gifts-that of a virtual artist and that of a poet.The results are in this book.Ilaa takes us into a world where her responsiveness, sensitive and deep-is communicated through images and words. The power of both to envelop a person, who reads and looks at her work is remarkable, and can be seen in the visual poems in the pages that follow. To read the poems first and then to look at the images would deprive us of the inimitable quality of these artistic expressions. It is necessary to look at the same time.It can be done: all it needs is a widening of one?s sense of perception and awareness. The words complement the images:the images capture the emotions and the fine feelings of the words.The experience that comes from hese together is what one should look for and whole each work is a complete experience by itself some of them take a particular theme forward, briefinf its complex aspects into the bright light of the creaters sensibility. In a sense this is a magic world and as one looks at the first of these image-poems, one is led into this world by Ilaa,and when one emerges from having experienced all of them,one is greatly enriched and exhilarated. |
