The "Country Series" aims to combine photographs with light, but authoritative commentary on the chosen themes, which cover art, architecture, travel, local history, the countryside, topography, gardens and rural life. New in paperback, this photographed survey chronicles the appeal and charm of the cottage in Ireland. Photographs capture these simple structures, often in wild and spectactular settings, in all their variety and elemental beauty. Alice Taylor's foreword paints a moving portrait of traditional cottage life, while the main text offers an analysis of a peculiarly evocative idiom.

German-born Walter Pfeiffer is one of Ireland's leading names in the world of photography and in this book he presents his perception of a landscape he has grown to appreciate and understand more deeply over the years. Poems from seven leading poets who are equally fascinated by the landscape of the west coast of Ireland are included: Eva Bourke, Moya Cannon, Michael Coady, Eamon Grennan, Joan McBreen, Seosanih 0 Guairim and Mary O'Malley. Connemara archaeologist Michael Gibbons provides a wonderfully informative introduction.Walter's photographs have appeared in numerous books and publications including In the Houses of Ireland (Thames Hudson - Connemara, the widely-recognised but geographically imprecise region in the west of Ireland, has long attracted artists and writers, Walter Pfeiffer's images do not simply reflect the beauty and wildness of the area but they present us with a fresh personalized viewpoint of a landscape he clearly treasures.

The Irish way of life-- its music, food, beer, and literature-- has become a familiar export around the world in recent years. But as this delightful book shows nothing can replace the experience of real Irish landscapes discovered. The stunning scenery, elegant town houses, and variety of country manors all contribute to an Irish identity which has survived centuries of foreign influence. Drawing on over twenty-five years spent living in Ireland, the photographer Walter Pfeiffer has created a unique collection of images which illuminate the many moods of the island. From Donegal in the north to Wexford in the south, through Connemara and the Isles of Arran, the beauty of Ireland's countryside is revealed through views of Palladian villas, misty rhododendron-filled gardens, castles, and salmon rivers. In the country manors and the town houses of Dublin the customs of fine Irish living show a love of elegance, good food, and music. Through a fascinating text Walter Pfeiffer describes the influence of the architecture and landscape on the Irish people and their way of life. Living in Ireland also contains an indispensable guide to the best hotels, guest houses, museums, pubs, and shops in both town and country. Ireland is full of secret places. Head off across the fields from any road, and you are bound to come upon unexpected landscapes. In this land of constantly changing scenery, every twist and turn in the path is likely to conceal a surprise. Romantic lakes, enchanting country houses and gardens, welcoming pubs-- in the cities as well as off the beaten track, Ireland repays the curious visitor with enchanting discoveries. Living in Ireland reveals a world full of timeless customs, and colorful traditions.

IN FINE

Swiss artist Walter Pfeiffer's photographic homage to Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun. This a humorous tribute to Matteo Thun, one of Italy's most distinguished designers and architects, and his work. In the summer of 2009, Swiss photographer Walter Pfeiffer made an extensive trip from Zurich to the Italian island of Capri, taking shots of some fifty of Thun's design objects en route. Rather than merely documenting these items, Pfeiffer created highly lively "tableaux vivants." The artist was accompanied on his journey by Thun's two then-teenage sons, who form the main visual narrative of the book and appear in many pictures together with their father's creations. A brief introduction by Matteo Thun's wife Susanne and an index of the depicted design gems complete this extraordinary and entertaining visual travelogue.
