Product Description

As the days and seasons goby... a stroll through old Québec. In Québec, the light changes everything. The urban landscape, the squares and streets, the stone walls and the array of bronze statues constantly change appearance under the play of light and shade. Inside the 400-year-old capital, architecture and city scenes speak with the voices of history, expressing the values that have shaped the land

About the Author

Claudel Huot photographie sa ville depuis plus de 30 ans, toujours avec la même fascination et la même surprise devant la lumière évocatrice de Québec. Il demeure dans la Basse-Ville, point de départ de ses pérégrinations à pied ou à vélo, l'appareil photo à la portée de la main.

Ethnohistorien de formation, Michel Lessard a été longtemps professeur en histoire de l’art et en muséologie à l’Université du Québec à Montréal. Il a publié de nombreux ouvrages aux Éditions de l’Homme, dont les best-sellers Objets anciens du Québec, Antiquités du Québec et Meubles anciens du Québec.

5.0 out of 5 stars OLD QUEBEC, Dec 25 2009

This review is from: Qu�bec: City of Lights (Hardcover)

I love this book. It is a book full of romantic pictures of old Quebec. Not really a tourist guide, but an artistic book.
Many pictures are winter scenes and remind you of Chrismas. You don't READ the book but you look at pictures and
it gives you a feeling that you are somewhere else, in a special place, because Quebec City is such a special place.
This book is highly recommendable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book---get it for C$30 at Amazon.ca, Sep 15 2008

By Mabel - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Qu�bec: City of Lights (Hardcover)

If you're looking for an armchair travel book, this isn't it. Instead it's a (non-technical) book very particularly about light, photography, and Quebec City. Sort of a love letter to the city, from a photographer. If you're visiting QC and want to take great photos, this could help.

Can't fathom why these sellers are charging upwards of $100, when Amazon in Canada is selling for C$30. Outrageous!
