ASSOULINE

Moon Paradise book

For centuries, the moon has been synonymous with mystery and the unknown. But over the years, humankind has studied this brilliant satellite and has even managed to venture there. The mystery became a discovery, which then turned into a possibility. The Earth’s moon is a constant – universal – for every human being, past and present. A rare and unifying phenomenon. It transcends languages, continents and fields of study. But more often than not, it’s a source of inspiration. The moon’s influence is not confined to scientific research, but can also be found in fashion, art, architecture and cinema.
An astonishing selection of images centred on the moon – ranging from fashion to space travel – is presented alongside an essay by space journalist Sarah Cruddas, who explores the moon as a scientific and cultural symbol. The moon is more than just a natural satellite; it is a glimmer of hope, a peak to be reached.Size & Fit: 24.7 × 33 cm.
