Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Impressive... This handsome book confines itself to the Amish country of Lancaster, Pa., but delves far more deeply into the families' life, philosophy, and customs." -- Parade

"The combined talents of Niemeyer and Kraybill result in a portrayal of the Amish that gets way beyond the stereotypes and the superficial." -- Philadelphia Inquirer

"A vivid, 200-page study that focuses on the whys and hows of Amish culture. Billed as a plain look at a romanticized people, the book offers an uncompromising view of the Lancaster Amish through Niemeyer's 35mm Leica." -- Lancaster Sunday News
