Polish Cathedrals - Adam Bujak - książka wyd. 2007

Opis

Cathedrals, the principal churches in their dioceses, are focal points for religiousworship. But they are also magnificent monuments of art and history. Throughoutthe entirety of Christendom Cathedrals have documented the story of their peoplesand nations. Communities congregate in them to experience their moments of greatjoy, and their moments of great sorrow. Each individual Christian praises his Lordin the quietness of his heart; yet as a community we seek a place which will uniteus for this purpose. The Cathedral – the one that has a thousand years ofhistory, such as Gniezno, Cracow or Poznań, and its modern successor, suchas the one at Białystok or Bielsko-Biała – is just such a specialplace. Cathedrals have always fascinated Adam Bujak, one of the world’s greatestphotographers, who has now created a work to parallel their monumentality. A fulldocumentary picture, accomplished for the first time with such scrutinising artistry,has now been complied of all the Cathedrals and Auxiliary Cathedrals within Poland’snew church administrative, to amaze and delight Bujak’s readers.
