A pictorial book of Nepal's decade long conflict – A People War, is set to hit bookshops on Friday.
According to a press release issued by nepa~laya today, the book is being published by the same company and was envisioned by senior journalist Kunda Dixit.
The book consists of 180 images by over 75 photographers from Nepal and abroad. The pictures are accompanied by captions and an introductory preface in English and Nepali.
The pictures were selected by an international selection committee earlier this year out of nearly 2,500 entries from 113 photographers.
In addition to Dixit, the committee included Bangladeshi photographer Sahidul Alam and Singaporean war photographer Shyam Tekwani, both internationally-acclaimed photojournalists involved in media training.
It is belived the book is a tribute to the resilience and strength of the Nepali people who endured a decade of conflict, with the pictures telling stories of suffering and loss, but also that of survival and hope for the future. “The book is also a testimony to the professionalism and commitment of the photographers who documented the conflict in these memorable images that will remain etched in our minds,” the press release quotes Dixit as saying.
The 217-page hardcover full-colour coffee table book is distributed within Nepal by Educational Book Shop and is priced at Rs 2,500.
