The title of this publication Miserere (Lord have mercy) is taken from Psalm 50. Most of us would be desperate enough to clutch at straws during times of need, and this is painfully transparent in the stories told within this book. Marrie Bot’s black and white images reveal the astonishment, desperation, determination, and joy, of pure faith. The book is a fascinating journey to places most of us know only by name and hearsay. With 3 pages introduction by Abram de Swaan. Text by Marrie Bot describing each chapter. 28 x 27 cm. Cover shows minor edgewear. Otherwise very nice and clean copy.
