Photo book “About Life - 40 Years of Cap Anamur”
40 years of emergency aid in over 60 countries. Captured in impressive images.
A beautiful table book and a gift idea that makes a difference.
Photographer Jürgen Escher knows all about Cap Anamur’s work and shows it off in his book “Über Leben – 40 Jahre Cap Anamur” (Edition Bildperlen). This photo book documents our aid organization’s work in the most beautiful and authentic way we can imagine. Jürgen Escher has been accompanying Cap Anamur for more than three decades and is, so to speak, our “photographic memory.” Tears and laughter, despair and hope—impressive images and accompanying texts capture the work of Cap Anamur and show 40 years of emergency aid in over 60 countries.
A foreword by Cap Anamur founder Christel Neudeck, a foreword by Cap Anamur’s long-standing chairman Dr. Werner Strahl, but above all, those who have worked for our aid organization have their say here. Their stories are brought to life by the photographer’s images and also highlight emotional aspects, because every Cap Anamur project leaves its mark on the country, but also on the helpers. In the most extraordinary places, they are often confronted with great suffering, but they also get to experience that it doesn’t take a large team or enormous resources to achieve amazing things.
100% of the proceeds go to Cap Anamur / Deutsche Not-Ärzte e. V.
