Village of Nubas
G. Rodger

In 1949 the Englishman George Rodger, one of the founding members of Magnum photo agency, learned of the Nuba tribe while travelling in the Kordofan region of the Sudan. The Nubas were a people living as their ancestors had centuries before. Remarkably, he was granted permission by the Sudanese government not only to spend time with the tribe, but to be the Wrst Westerner to photograph its rituals. In 1955, Rodger's Nubas photographs were published in France in Le Village de Noubas, an account in words and pictures of his journey through Kordofan. A limited number of copies were produced and the book became an instant classic. Phaidon celebrates Rodger's most famous photographs with the first-ever English publication of a facsimile-like edition of this famous book.'This facsimile edition, the size of an ordinary novel, tells the story of Rodger's great African journey and how he came to know the Nuba people. It combines great travel writing with some of the best known travel photography of our era. It's a wonderful little book.' (British Journal of Photography) 'One of the classics of photographic literature...a remarkable anthropological study cum travel book, small in format, yet perfectly formed.' (Art Newspaper) 'This classic collection of photographic images, accompanied by Rodger's honed text, is a stunning testament to a way of life long since vanished in Africa.' (Good Book Guide)
