About the Book
Immerse yourself in Nomads of the 21st century, a visual and narrative work that transports you to the heart of Mongolia's vast steppes, where age-old traditions and emerging modernity intertwine in a fascinating coexistence.
Through black-and-white photographs of rare intensity and a heartfelt narrative, Valérie Kessler captures the life of Altan, a young nomadic shepherd, witness and actor in the upheavals of a changing world. From traditional yurts to herds of yaks, to the emergence of solar panels and highways, this book illustrates with finesse the meeting of past and present.
The fruit of a journey imbued with truth, this book celebrates the resilience and adaptability of nomadic peoples, while questioning our own relationship with nature, progress and harmony with our environment.
An invitation to discover the magic of the Mongolian steppes and to reflect on the universal issues of our time.
