{"product_id":"rapture-mateusz-wrazidlo-9781917458832","title":"Rapture","description":"Nestled within the dark heart of the South American interior is a place which evades all forms of human comprehension. A raw, primordial world still thriving in stubborn isolation despite centuries of humankind’s daring exploits. The Guiana Shield - a gateway to some of the oldest geological formations on our planet, nearly two billion years in the making, filled with ancient landscapes and relic life forms straight out of a fantasy novel. When in 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his famous story about a group of explorers visiting a mysterious plateau, it was given a new name - “The Lost World”.\nIn Rapture, photographer and naturalist Mateusz Wrazidlo presents his lifelong obsession with this mysterious cradle of South American biodiversity. It is a sumptuous letter of appreciation dedicated to a realm where fantasy and reality intertwine. With expedition photographs, personal reflections and quotes from historical accounts of explorers, Rapture takes us on a journey through an incredible diversity of environments and landscapes, ranging from the stifling humidity and heat of the Amazon selva, through sun-scorched grassy highlands, the cold, misty cloud forests, to the mystical, dark and eerily silent summits of the tepui plateaus.","brand":"Unicorn Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52248493261088,"sku":"9781917458832","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781917458832_3056286.jpg?v=1787729582","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/rapture-mateusz-wrazidlo-9781917458832","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
