Beeindruckende Bilder aus einer scheinbar fernen Zeit, die jedoch noch gar nicht so lange her ist ...
It has been said of Oman that the middle ages stopped in 1970; certainly before the accession of Sultan Qaboos, little had changed in the countrys outward aspect for many generations. W.D. Peyton, an Arabist with a deep knowledge and love of Oman, has painstakingly amassed a stunning record of the country as it used to be. The result is a truly fascinating series of pictures of a world now utterly transformed. Old Oman will intrigue anyone whose knowledge of the country began in more recent years, and will enhance the recollections of those with a longer acquaintance with the country.
