About this product
Product Information
An extraordinary journey through time to discover the real roots of a continent and its people. The last heirs of the great explorers of the 19th century, twins Angelo and Alfredo have collected, during the long decades of field research, precious documents, exceptional photos and new evidence of a continent that no longer exists. Entered with strength in the Third Millennium and in the global communication routes, Africa travels, today, towards modernity, wiping out, day after day, every heritage of its own composite cultural and ethnic identity. For this reason the precious archaeological and anthropological work made by the Castiglioni brothers is particularly important today. This volume reconstructs, through the almost 50-year career of the two Italian explorers, the deep identity of the Black Continent, from the most ancient traditions to the surprising passing rituals. An important part of the volume is dedicated to the archeological expeditions in Africa, starting with the discovery in the Nubian Desert in Sudan of Berenice Panchrysos, the entirely gold city of pharaohs, quoted by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia whose traces were lost. A find that the French Academician, Jean Vercoutter considered among the great discoveries of archaeology. AUTHOR: Angelo and Alfredo castiglioni have carried out, for nearly fifty years, research expeditions in the archaeological, anthropological and ethnologic field, most of all making accurate cine-photographic documentations. They have published several books and made five films, distributed in the national and international circuits: Africa sdegreta (1969); Africa Ama (1971); Magia Nuda !1975) with Alberto Moravia's commentary; Addio Ultimo Uomo (1979) with Vittorio Suttafava's commentary; Africa dolce e selvaggia (1982). ILLUSTRATIONS: 507 colour photographs

Good service, quick delivery. However item was described as "very good" and I would describe it as.. fair (see photos). I guess this is reflected in the price but probably wouldn't have bought in this condition if I'm being honest.

Great seller! Item arrived on time and was well packaged. If I was to have one niggle about this item, it is that, in the description it states that all pages will be free from markings. However, there were pages within this book that had been highlited by the previous owner. Other than that though, I am very satisfied and will definitely buy from this seller again.
