2020ref. BIBHB0036200402020. Hardcover. New. About the book:- In this work the author has tried to keep as far as possible to the relation of things actually seen and heard and not to be portrayed into doubtful generalizations during the short journey. As far as actual experience of life in Ceylon and India is concerned the writer has perhaps been fortunate not only in being introduced into circles of traditional teaching which are often closed against the English and in so getting to know something of the esoteric religious lore of South India; but also in obtaining some interesting glimpses behind the scenes of the Hindu ceremonial. The spectacle of the social changes now taking place in India is one that is full of interest to anyone who has studied and taken part in the Socialistic movement at home; and the interest of it is likely to increase. The remaining portion of the book relies on the description of scenes of nature and of ordinary human life. The subject of the book is very illuminating and delicate. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. The illustrations are many of them taken from the excellent photographs of different sources. The book arouses a good amount of interest among the researchers and readers.

Limited edition of 20 copies of Christmas Day Bucks Pond Road — a signed first printing of the book including a signed and numbered print pictured here. Images: https://www.photoeye.com/bookstore/citation/ZJ012 . "In Christmas Day Bucks Pond Road his second book with The Ice Plant Brooklyn-based photographer Tim Carpenter born 1968 revisits the Central Illinois topography of his first monograph Local Objects with a sequence of 56 black-and-white medium-format photographs all made on a single winter morning. In Local Objects he meandered this semi-rural Midwestern landscape through changing seasons in an abstract sequence but here Carpenter follows a straightforward path literally taking the viewer on a two-hour walk from point A to point B. Nothing much happens along this brief narrative arc—there are fallow fields standing water dormant trees the occasional tire track on worn pavement—yet Carpenter explores the stillness of this outdoor space with a palpable almost erotic anticipation revealing intimate subtleties as the journey unfolds. Made with an intensity of attention and a lightness of touch the photographs in Christmas Day Bucks Pond Road are less about the confines of this specific time and place than about a poetic strategy for narrowing the distance between human desire and the factual content of the everyday world." -Publisher's notes.
