Hardback. 144 pages. ASMARA BELOVED Asmara, the capital city of Eritrea, has a style and charm that delight the senses thanks to the unique blend of African, Arabic and European influences which have shaped the identity of the city. After decades of international isolation Asmara is now also recognised as a treasure trove of modernist architecture from the 1930s, still preserved in the original, human scale of the city. Asmara Beloved is a coffee table book that celebrates the city and its people, documenting its architecture, cultural life, street scenes and economic endeavour. Complete with a historical introduction to the city, and featuring original poetry by Haile Bizen in Tigrinya and English, this is a book of dear memories for those who already know Asmara, and an inspiration for others yet to discover Eritrea and its unique capital. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Sami Sallinen was born in Finland in 1965 and lived in Asmara for seven years. Haile Bizen, a renowned Eritrean poet and writer, was born in Asmara in 1966.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 145 pp. Sami Sallinen text and photos and Haile Bixen's poems. Minor shelfwear. Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, is close to the heart of every Eritrean, whether inside or outside the country. Decades of Eritrean love songs and freedom songs have fondly honoured Asmara - now the jewel in the crown of Eritrea's hard-won independence, following a thirty-year long liberation struggle that ended in 1991. For the rest of the world this is still largely an unknown city, far removed from the tourist trails of Africa. But those who do arrive here often return time and again, enchanted by the rich blend of African, Arabic and European influences that shape the identity of the city. Asmara has a style and charm that delight the senses. After decades of international isolation Asmara is also becoming recognised as a treasure trove of modernist architecture from the 1930s, still preserved within the original, human scale of the city. Asmara Beloved is a photographic celebration of the city and its people; of its cultural, economic and spiritual vitality. Including original poetry by Haile Bizen and an historical introduction to the city, this is at once a book of memories for those who already know Asmara, and an inspiration for others yet to discover Eritrea and its unique capital.
