Cyprus Remembered

Cyprus Remembered is the the fourth book of photographs by Reno Evryviades Wideson, recording and celebrating the people and landscape of Cyprus. It revisits the Cyprus of the 50s and early 60s with over 400 photographs and presents an image of the life of the island as it was before the enormous changes brought on by the political and economic upheavals of the 70s and beyond and in particular the ethnic conflicts and the explosive expansion of the tourist industry. Cyprus is of course no stranger to dramatic changes in its varied and turbulent history. It is fascinating to see how much has changed in these last fifty years or so and to reflect on how much has been achieved and possibly how much may have been lost.
