Assouline's coffee-table book ‘Zanzibar’ takes readers on an unforgettable journey to Zanzibar, In the beautifully illustrated book, readers discover, through photographer Aline Coquelle, all the beauty the East African country has to offer and why you should go there.
Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean lies a group of islands known as Zanzibar. It all began ten million years ago, when the island of Pemba broke away from the African mainland, and ten thousand years ago the island of Unguja followed suit. Thus begins the legend of Zanzibar. For centuries, Zanzibar was a haven and gateway for explorers, including Richard Burton and David Livingstone, to explore the unknown African continent.
Even today it is still possible to experience its unique nature, whether it is by diving off the coast of a private island, in endless lagoons, visiting mangroves or native wild forests, or getting lost and immersing yourself in the historic, labyrinthine streets of Stonetown. This archipelago lies at a crossroads of cultures, with Omani architecture, Portuguese and British heritage and Swahili rituals.
Photographer Aline Coquelle shares an intimate portrait of a community bustling with life. Original photography preserves and celebrates a disappearing, indigenous culture. This book invites the reader to experience the paradise that is Zanzibar.
