Моя снимка стана корица на книга

Днес, стягайки багажа си за следващото приключение - ново пътуване до Лондон, посветих миг, за да подържа в ръцете си книгата на Theo Malekin със заглавие Strindberg and the Quest for Sacred Theatre, която получих по-рано по пощата от Амстердам. Академично издание от непознатата в България авторка. Моя снимка от Деветашката пещера краси корицата на тази прекрасна творба.

В края на ноември получих писмо от Theo със следното съдържание:

"Dear Plamen

I'm looking for a suitable image for the cover of a book I have coming out from Rodopi. The book is about the Swedish playwright August Strindberg and in it I discuss a series of paintings he did which depict a view from within a cave or a forest (it could be either) looking out onto/into a clear space. Would you be willing to allow the use of your picture of Devetashka Cave? In form it is perfect - it bears a strong resemblance to the painting Strindberg did. (You can see some of them if you go here www.strindbergsmuseet.se/verken/maleri.html and click on the grey arrow about 2/3 of the way down.)

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Best wishes
Theo (Malekin)"

Книгата може да разгледате или да си купите в Amazon.

Мечтите се сбъдват!
