Product Information
The farms and backroads' of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, are home to the world's oldest surviving and most densely populated Amish community. This is a society that turns its eye to God by turning away from cars, electricity, and modern technology. Among The Amish is a personal journal of four seasons spent living and working within this insular and very private community. With a fresh eye and an open mind, Welsh writer and artist Keith Bowen shows us the Amish at work, at prayer, and at play, relating personal experiences and anecdotes that reveal a culture as rich in contradictions as it is in tradition. This is not an off the road photography book, but a sensitive and revealing portrait by a gifted artist. Keith Bowen is a Welsh artist whose work has been exhibited in England's Royal Academy and in the National Portrait Gallery in London.Product Identifiers
