A Photographic Remembrance

Description

LebanonPostcard presents the Book: A Photographic Remembrance of Lebanon by John Waterbury – Editions Dar An-Nahar – Hardcover 32×24.5 cm, 145 pages.

Sarah and I came away from our years in Lebanon with a sense of what binds Lebanese together, a sense of style, and a sense of how to deal with others, even if one doesn’t particularly like those others. Lebanese have a great sense of humor, fun, and enjoyment built around family, food, and music. They have the gift of taking interest in others without prying into or invading one’s privacy. They do this on one of the most magnificent stages imaginable: the coasts, valleys, mountains, and plains of a country only one quarter the size of Switzerland. In these pages, I pay sincere but inadequate tribute to the Lebanese and their homeland.

John Waterbury was President of the American University of Beirut from 1998 to 2008. For twenty years prior to coming to Lebanon, he was a Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. He lived for several years in both Morocco and Egypt and has traveled widely throughout the Arab world and the Middle East.
