Prayer and pilgrimage are expressions of religion in action that are common to human culture without distinction for individual religion traits or theology. In times of disillusion and mistrust such as those humanity is experiencing now, it is indispensable to reassess their importance. Such is the thinking that sharpens Kazuhoshi Nomachi's sensitivity to the elements of spiritual life. Here, with dramatic photographs that distill the essence of our humanity, he captures moments of prayer along pilgrimage routes in some of the world's most remote and poorest places, from the Sahara to the Andes. "Pilgrimage" brings together 30 years of the acclaimed photographer's best work with his personal interest in the quest for self, others, and for God. A convert to Islam, Nomachi is in a position to offer us a completely new opportunity to speculate on faith and its potential to revitalize. Together text and image allow readers to make their own human pilgrimage. This is the latest title in the "Discovery" series. Also available are "Marco Polo" (885440005X) and "Vanishing Africa" (8854400068). This book contains over 500 pages with over 400 photographs.
