• the Essential guide for Anuradhapura and its region [2005]
by Philippe FABRY
| |
Using the same concept which made the success of the Essential guide for Jaffna and its region this guidebook invites us now to visit the famous ancient city of Anuradhapura. The major sites, like the impressive stupa of Ruvanvalisaya or the popular and most venerated Sacred Bo Tree are easy to find for the occasional traveller. But, due to the vastness of Anuradhapura, intimate, charming or isolated sites are usually missed by most of the visitors. This guide will help you to discover the asthonishing stone bridges, the superbly decorated urinal stones or the stunning "rice boats" or batoruva. |
• Tovil - Exorcism & healing rites [2005]
by Bruce Kapferer, Georges Papigny
| |
This book, of which the photos were taken at a time which is now considered the golden age of modern Tovil, was born from a meeting between an Australian anthropologist and a French photographer-journalist. |
• La relève de l'Escadre de Perse [2004]
by Philippe FABRY
| |
Ce livre, abondamment illustré de cartes et de gravures de l'époque (XVIIe siècle), nous raconte le quotidien d'hommes partis à l'autre bout du monde vers des contrées inconnues, vivant à bord de bateaux dont nous avons peine aujourd'hui à imaginer la rusticité et l'inconfort, livrés aux caprices des éléments et à l'arbitraire des hommes. |
