Cronache birmane #[nn]

Guy Delisle's Cronache Birmane arrives in this Rizzoli Lizard edition with a cover that immediately sets the tone: above, a lone figure stands before a heavily barricaded government building, flanked by "no photography" signs and armed guards — a quiet image of surveillance and restriction rendered in cool sage green. Below, the palette shifts to warm yellow, opening onto a sweeping Burmese landscape of rocky outcroppings, a hilltop pagoda, scattered trees, and a distant vehicle winding through the terrain. The two halves together capture both the claustrophobia of living under a watchful state and the strange, rugged beauty of the country beyond its walls — a compelling invitation to this firsthand graphic account of life in Myanmar.
