Uma viagem por São Tomé e Príncipe feita de uma maneira única: pelo ar. Por estas páginas marcamos encontro com paisagens luxuriantes, praias paradisíacas e uma cultura inestimável. O paraíso em fotografias.

Depois dos livros de Panoramas sobre Lisboa e Portugal (Quimera, 2007 e 2008), Nuno Cardal dá continuidade à série, agora com um livro sobre Sintra, cuja Paisagem Cultural foi classificada pela UNESCO como Património Mundial da Humanidade.

Porto em Contraste é o Porto de Manuel Varzim, é o Porto do claro escuro, da luz e da sombra, do dia e da noite, do antigo e do moderno que aqui só´ podiam ser representados a preto e branco, para além de uma imensa palete de cinzentos.

Cada imagem é uma janela intemporal para a beleza única da cidade, a que acrescenta a paisagem, a água ou a flora, através dos quais partilha o seu olhar. O Porto e´ a cidade onde cada cinzento ganha outra cor, a cor do Porto.

O melhor do património histórico-natural dos 24 municípios ribeirinhos do Douro, incluindo os locais triplamente distinguidos pela UNESCO como Património Mundial da Humanidade, em obra sumptuosamente ilustrada por Libório Manuel Silva, editor e autor da fotografia dos livros de Cultura e Património actualmente mais vendidos em Portugal, em livro com prefácio pelo Prof. J. Rentes de Carvalho, o principal romancista duriense em actividade.

Douro - Maravilhas do Património | Heritage Wonders é uma edição de luxo, bilingue, cartonada, com mais de 400 fotografias exclusivas relativas ao mais significativo património histórico-natural dos 24 municípios limítrofes ao rio Douro - dos vestígios arqueológicos aos tesouros barrocos, das tradições aos monumentos românicos, das fantásticas tonalidades outonais das vinhas durienses às suas caves, da mais genuína gastronomia aos incomparáveis miradouros, dos escondidos eremitérios às paisagens pintadas com as amendoeiras em flor.

O mais belo e o mais estimulante livro publicado sobre o Douro exclusivamente com imagens actuais.

Este livro é uma obra invulgar. É, simultaneamente, a versão de bolso e o volume II de uma edição anterior, que resulta de um prolongamento da pesquisa e exploração do melhor património do Douro. Enquanto versão de bolso, inclui todas as maravilhas reveladas originalmente, mas agora num formato mais fácil de transportar e de manusear.

Como volume II, além de não repetir nenhuma imagem das apresentadas inicialmente, tem a vantagem adicional de incluir mais de cinquenta novas maravilhas - da gastronomia regional aos pelourinhos manuelinos, dos marcos pombalinos às fortificações medievais, da arquitectura rococó à doçaria tradicional, dos revestimentos azulejares aos solares barrocos.

Convidamos-vos a estrangeirar por esta terra de proximidades, deambulando como um flâneur, nesta Braga simultaneamente pagã e cristã, como já não se vê por aí, com todo o tempo do mundo, errante, apaixonado, caminhando incógnito por entre a multidão, para nos projetarmos nos outros, com quem trocamos o olhar fugaz, às vezes esboçando uma saudação, mas também mirando para dentro de nós, diluindo-nos na paisagem.

We invite you to be a stranger in this land of proximity, ambling like a flaneur, in this Braga, both pagan and Christian as rarely seen today: with all the time in the world, wandering, errant, in love. Walking unrecognised among the crowd, only to recognise ourselves in others through a fleeting glance, sometimes the semblance of a greeting, but also turning inward, blending in with the landscape.

Brings together the rich history of Mount Sinai, exploring the ways in which the landscape has been has been experienced and transformed over the centuries as an important site for multiple religions.
