The Last African Warriors Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
A masterpiece of field photography! Gianni Giansanti, author of Vanishing Africa, provides an intimate and sympathetic portrait of the continent's most remote indigenous tribes. Trekking deep into aboriginal Africa, he documents the masks, plumage, and adornment used to invoke martial magic. Employing virtuoso techniques of chiaroscuro, stark contrasts of texture and color, and juxtapositions of the primordial and the modern, he offers a rare glimpse into an archetypally vivid world.

When I opened this book, my breath was taken away. The photographs are that amazing. The author has managed to capture the magnificence and the darkness of what we think Africa is. And really is too, in some ways.
I am STILL trying to catch my breath on this BEAUTIFUL book! Although it took a little while to receive -- I did not realize that it was coming from London -- it was well worth the wait.The book in itself is HUGE and the photography is just beautiful! This is not your average coffee table book. It will take you sometime to read through it but you will find it highly educational as well as leave you awestruck.The extra large, plastic-like burlap shipping bag was impressive but the inside shipping materials could have been better as the top, right- hand corners got a little crushed, which was the ONLY complaint about this book -- I received it EXACTLY as described by the seller. So happy!P.S.: I bought this book for a mere fraction of the original cost from this seller and I would definitely buy from them again!
The book is fantastic and the photography is outstanding. We are still reading the text which is incredibly informative. I will reread this book i the future - a treasure to have in our library!
Absolutely beautiful book! Very pleased with my purchase! After I write this review, I'm going to browse and hopefully find more books like this.
Never heard of this photographer, the document is incredible, and the book is very well printed and designed. Very impressive people
This is an Amazing book! A work of art! And very intense. I recommend it highly. Will look impressive on your coffee table

This is one beautiful pictorial. I am so happy that I purchased it . It is a very well done photo essay.
