Havana The Photography of Hans Engels

Few cities in the world evoke for Americans the kind of mystery and exotic appeal of Havana. Always enigmatic, and hidden for forty years behind a veil of political intrigue, it is hard to believe that few Americans have visited this city just a day’s boat ride away from our More…own shores. In Havana (Prestel), award-winning photographer Hans Engels applies a keen eye and ahnost two decades of experience to capture a city that mixes ebullience with decay, modemity with colonialism. It is a city of sad and breathtaking beauty, and one whose brilliantly diverse architecture says much about its social and political history.
