{"product_id":"colombia-campesina","title":"COLOMBIA CAMPESINA (SEGUNDA EDICIÓN)","description":"After having been officially launched by the Ministry of Culture during the great craft event of the Smithsonian Institution recently held in Washington, for which its reissue was commissioned, Villegas Editores commercially releases the book Colombia Campesina, which in 1990 won the UNESCO award for the most beautiful book in the world, presented during the Leipzig Book Fair and subsequently exhibited at the Frankfurt fair that year. With texts by Manuel Mejía Vallejo, a great Antioquian writer unfortunately deceased a few years ago, and photographic material from a large group of excellent Colombian photographers, Colombia Campesina is a tribute to the rural population of our country where the farmer, the rancher, the artisan, the harvester of crops of various products throughout the country, the fisherman, the farmer carry out incessant activity amid immense uncertainties to produce the food required by the nation. Colombia Campesina is also a recognition of the peasant in their habits and customs, in their festivals and leisure activities, in the effort of their work and in the value of their contribution to our most cherished traditions happily preserved, many of them in the identity of their homeland. The entire rural country is recorded in the pages of this book, as a sum of small literary vignettes where the smell of the earth goes hand in hand with the Mohan or the Madremonte, where the paramo sun blends with the rainbow after the storm, where coffee, corn, and potato compete with sugar cane, tobacco, and fruits for the written and graphic space of the work, and where folklore and everyday life of farms and small towns are appreciated in their beauty and the emotion of an idiosyncrasy embedded in one of the most beautiful territories in the world. Colombia Campesina is undoubtedly a book we were missing, and it returns enriched by current images that confirm that Colombia continues to be good, tender, positive, and beautiful amid the difficulties that are not lacking in national life and particularly in the peasant sector.","brand":"Weaving the Planet | Villegas Editores | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51854596669653,"sku":"9789588293813","price":245000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/COLOMBIACAMPESINA.jpg?v=1754891480","url":"https:\/\/weavingtheplanet.com\/en\/products\/colombia-campesina","provider":"Weaving The Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
