Produktbeschreibung
Author Maurice Harvey returns with another collection of exciting firsthand stories from his time as a missionary and as the Bible Society photojournalist. He recounts many of his firsthand experiences over the years as an international photojournalist in Into the Great Unknown. The memoir begins with Maurice leaving the safety of his New Zealand home as a young man in the 1960s and heading into deepest Africa-bound for the war-ravaged Congo region. From there, the story continues as Maurice travels across the African continent, through post-Communist Eastern Europe, and then into Asia. His final stop is the mysterious and formidable state of North Korea. Told with compassion and charm, these stories reflect an eye for the quirky as well the poignant. Leaving New Zealand isolated and far away from everywhere else, was for a young man in 1960, truly an adventure into the unknown. But with the strong assurance that God was with him, it became an adventure of excitement and great enjoyment.
Autorenporträt
Maurice Harvey is probably the most widely travelled photojournalist from New Zealand having been to 160 countries and territories. His travels began in Africa in 1960 where for seven years he lived in Central and West Africa, then in later years, paid numerous visits covering thirty seven countries of the continent. The independence movement was sweeping Africa bringing with it not just freedom and liberty, but in far too many cases, injustice and hardship. In 1979 he became the official photojournalist of the United Bible Societies, the world's largest publishing organisation, a position he held for nearly 20 years. His other photography has been used by many of the world's leading publishers such as the BBC, the ten volume Grand Larousse encyclopédique, Macmillian, Readers Digest, BBC, C.U.P., O.U.P., Open University, Microsoft and many others. Plus local papers and periodicals of his own country and many others around the world. His published work earned him the coveted Licentiate of the Master Photographers Association (United Kingdom).
