Amelia Troubridge: Maltese Stories [Hardcover]

Amelia Troubridge (Author), Edward De Bono (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 15, 2006

Maltese Stories is a raw and personal expose of this Mediterranean island's identity as seen in the faces of its inhabitants. Shot over the course of 10 years by the photographer Amelia Troubridge, who is half Maltese herself, it features photographs of individuals, crowds and historic figures--rich or poor, noble or humble, caught off guard or in ritual celebration--living out their days under the Mediterranean sun. In Maltese Stories Troubridge has captured the island at a turning point in its history, as it moves away from its rural, isolated, heroic past and toward a more prosperous future within the European Union. Troubridge has been visiting the island since childhood and her first-hand accounts of the characters and events depicted accompany each "story" in this book. Introduction by Edward de Bono, the Malta-born psychologist and physician who is widely considered the world's greatest authority on lateral thinking.
