Love Letters to Sudan
The first photography book on Sudan, as told by Sudanese.
A journey across every region of the country
More than 200 photographs that invite you into a country of rivers, deserts, mountains, and the people who call each of them home.
Sudan has never been seen like this before
Home to civilizations that built more pyramids than anywhere in the world, to one of the most diverse populations on the planet, to landscapes that move from desert to coral sea to volcanic highland within a single country. It has rarely been shown in its full breadth. This book is the beginning of that record.
Sudan is one of the oldest civilizations on earth.
It is also one of the least understood.
