Content
The photo volume 'Genesis' by Sebastião SALGADO takes us to the archaic volcanic landscape of the Gala Pagos Islands, shows us cormorants, penguins and whales in the Antarctic and the South Atlantic, the alligators and jaguars of the Brazilian jungle and the big game of Africa. We meet the isolated Zo'é people in the Brazilian jungle, the Korowai in West Papua, the nomadic Dinka people in Sudan, the Nenets with their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle and the inhabitants of the Mentawai Islands to the west of Sumatra.
