Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Carnival, Fasnacht, Entroido, Mardi Gras - an annual pre-Lenten festival is celebrated in hundreds of cities and villages throughout Europe and the Americas. Carnival! is a joyous celebration of this many-faceted festival and a tribute to those who have kept their Carnival traditions alive. With…more than 325 dazzling colour photographs, the volumes takes the reader on a vibrant journey through Carnival in eleven distant locations, from New Orleans, Brazil and Bulgaria to Venice, Bolivia and Port-au-Prince, outlining its history in each area and its present form. The authors present all the major masquerades, including Venice's classic Harlequin and Pierrot, Bulgaria's Kouker and Port of Spain's Midnight Robber, as well as the variety of participants, such as Recife and Olinda's Brazilian population and the charro dancers of Mexico. The sequence of Carnival events is also described, from excited preparation to last-gasp revelry, with tastes of festival food and drink and the rhythm of music added along the way. Whatever deeper religious or civic significance Carnival may hold, it is always a time of play, conviviality, fantasy and excess - a time when alternatives to the status quo can be imagined and people can push aside everyday restraints and inhibitions. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Seattle: University of Washington Press:, 2004. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 342 pp. Cover artwork by: Shirley & David Rowan Lent. It can be a bummer, especially if you give something up. I rarely do, so it's not so bad for me. But this book isn't about Lent, it's about Carnaval, that pre-Lent celebration known as…Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This is a look at this celebration as it's celebrated all over the world, from places like villages in Europe and small towns in Haiti - and lots of places in between. It's fun, it's pretty and it's educational. Artsy too. For the casual historian, carnaval enthusiast, or just those people that like to see people dress-up in weird hats and masks. Like many books in the world, considerably better than I can make it sound. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New. Shirley & David Rowan (ilustrador).
