Book, Getting Lost in Lebanon

Description

LebanonPostcard presents the Book: Getting Lost in Lebanon by Warren Singh-Bartlett, Tamyras – 332 pages – 23.5×16.5 cm.

This book is what happens when madness, obsession, passion, and improbability meet. Madness, because the moment I arrived in Lebanon, I fell so instantly in love with it that I never left. Obsession, because Lebanon has become so much a part of my life, that I can’t imagine my life without it. Passion, because this land of immense cultural and historical wealth is an endless source of fascination. Especially for the inquisitive and the curious. Improbable, because this book began as (and continues to be) a series of Instagram posts that were never intended for publication. But they have been and so here we are. The result is my take on this beautiful country. It’s a mixture of fun, facts and photos, the unlikely and the less usual. Part guide, part photo book, part confessional, these micro-stories and the photos they accompany are the fruit of a year of rambling, mostly in the mountains, but occasionally along the coast, too.

Warren Singh-Bartlett is an author and journalist who arrived in Lebanon in May 1998 on a three-day visit. He never left. Since then, he’s dabbled in script writing, magazine articles, and news and has written a series of books, both his own and for others, most of which in some way touch on Lebanon. Getting Lost in Lebanon is his first foray into photos. Be kind, or it may be his last.
