Leni Riefenstahl will always be remembered for her brilliant film of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin - still rated as one of the best documentaries ever made. Before that she was acclaimed for her roles in silent feature films, when German cinema was in its artistic heyday in the 1920s. She pioneered the box office success of such classic mountaineering dramas as The White Hell of Piz Palu and then began to direct her own films. The Blue Light was admired by Hitler and led to her filming the Wagnerian Nuremberg Rally of 1934. After the war she was shunned by the film industry, despite a court in 1952 proclaiming her not guilty of supporting the Nazis in a punishable way. Her undoubted charisma led to many affairs and grandiose schemes - deep sea diving in her seventies and still filming wildlife in her nineties. Audrey Salkeld has sifted the fact from the legend and gives us a moving portrait of the great movie `star' who suffered more in the `wilderness' than her enduring fame suggests.

The Nuba of Kau, known as the 'South East Nuba', live only a hundred miles away from the gentle and peace-loving Mesakin Nuba observed by Leni Riefenstahl in her first book. Yet they speak another language, follow different customs, and are very different in character and temperament. The knife-fights, dances of love and elaborately painted Picassoesque faces and bodies captured in the images of People of Kau show a wild and passionate people, unlike any other on earth today. Leni Riefenstahl, legendary film-maker and photographer, spent sixteen sweltering weeks with the Nuba of Kau in 1975, weeks she herself describes as 'a time of almost intolerable hardship and exertion.' Yet from those weeks emerged the extraordinary photographs that make up this ground-breaking monograph. People of Kau bears magnificent witness to a remarkable tribe menaced by the advance of industrial civilisation and sinking slowly into the mists of time.

This classic series by legendary Magnum photographer George Rodger introduced the Western world to the Nuba peoples of Sudan. In 1949 the photographer and co-founder of Magnum Photos, George Rodger, learned of the Nuba tribe while traveling in the Kordofan region of the Sudan. Remarkably, he was granted permission by the Sudanese government to take pictures of these striking people, who lived as their ancestors had centuries before. After publication in National Geographic magazine, these pictures--as well as Rodger's fascinating journal entries from the shoot--have not been available to the wider public. Now, Rodger's rare softly colored Kodachrome images are gathered in a sumptuous volume, and introduced in an essay by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins. Beautifully reproduced, Rodger's photographs emphasize the muted colors of the Sudanese landscape as well as the Nuba's penchant for vivid body paint, clothing, and jewelry. They are a superb example of early color photography, and a stunning celebration of a little-known tribe that lives in one of the world's harshest environments.
