Description

The authors of the book are the well-known photographer Wayne Eastep and the essayist, anthropologist and ethnographer Alma Kunanbay. Work on the book about Kazakhstan began in 1997 with the support of the company "ExxonMobil". The book is divided into seven chapters, contains 250 photographs and was published in three languages - Kazakh (3.5 thousand copies), Russian (3.5 thousand), English (5 thousand). The album is dedicated to the land of Kazakhstan, its history, antiquities, traditional way of life, fine arts and crafts, and performing arts. The introductory word to the book was written by the President of the RK Nursultan Nazarbayev. In his foreword to the album, the President of Kazakhstan noted that "the album helps to take a fresh look at our past and present, at the priceless heritage that we must increase and pass on to our descendants". The first copy of the book "The Soul of Kazakhstan" was presented to Nursultan Nazarbayev during his visit to the USA in December 2001 by the head of the corporation "ExxonMobil" Lee Raymond. The corporation "ExxonMobil" plans to donate copies of the book free of charge to major libraries, archives, and educational institutions of the country, where they will be available for wide public access. The international presentation of the book took place on February 5 in Washington with the participation of the State Secretary - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the RK Kasymzhomart Tokayev.
