Tangier: Fortunes and Misfortunes of a City

In Mohamed Métalsi’s narrative, Tangier emerges as a fascinating city shaped by civilisations, myths and dreams of elsewhere. Drawing on archives, history, architecture and collective memory, this richly documented work retraces the many lives of the city, from the Phoenicians to the International Zone, from ancient caravan routes to the writers and artists who helped forge its legend. Accompanied by a wealth of photographs, the narrative reveals a cosmopolitan, enigmatic and constantly reinventing Tangier, where the past remains in constant dialogue with the present.

Football Roots: The Spirit of the Game

Before the iconic stadiums and vast crowds, there is a ball, a street and a childhood dream. Through more than 200 striking photographs, Sam Robles explores football in its most universal and human dimension: a shared language spoken across the world, from working class neighbourhoods to improvised pitches. His images capture the energy of the game, the freedom of movement and the emotional power of football as a source of hope, identity and social connection. Both vibrant and deeply aesthetic, this volume is guided by the sensitive eye of a photographer captivated by the spirit of the game.

Sport from Above

Through a remarkable body of aerial drone photography, Edouard Salmon offers a spectacular and graphic vision of sport. Football, surfing, basketball and tennis become, when viewed from above, striking artistic compositions in which lines, colours, movement and shadows transform playing fields and athletes into living tableaux. His photographs are accompanied by a thoughtful and passionate text in which Edouard Salmon celebrates sport as an art form in its own right and invites readers to look anew at these fascinating human landscapes.
